ropes courses & zip lines
Stupid simple booking software for ropes courses, zipline tours and aerial adventure parks. Guided departures with a fixed start and a cap, weight and height captured at booking, one waiver per participant before the harness station. Built by a park that runs its own ropes course.
Why do guests get turned away at the harness station?
Weight and height restrictions need to be handled before arrival, not in front of a crowd.

Long liability forms that take forever to complete
Weight limits
Awkward conversations about restrictions

Coordinating groups for scheduled start times
Corporate groups
Team building events with complex logistics

How zipline tours and aerial adventure parks are booked in wakesys
A ropes course or zipline in wakesys is a course with its own calendar of guided departures. Every ticket, waiver and group hangs off a departure. wakesys runs the ropes course at Charleston Aqua Park, the park its founders operate, on this model. These are the objects the system holds:
- Course
- Name, its own schedule, a difficulty label and the restrictions that apply to it.
- Departure
- Date, fixed start time, duration, guide capacity, price. Departures are the sessions guests book.
- Ticket
- One per participant, sold online or at the iPad POS. Weight and height are captured at booking, so a restriction is caught before the harness station, not at it.
- Waiver
- One per participant, signed before arrival from the shared link, with guardian consent for minors. Checked at check-in.
- Group
- A school or corporate organiser books the departure and shares a link; each participant claims a ticket and signs their own waiver.
- Check-in
- Staff see waiver status, restriction answers and the departure list on one screen at the harness station.
wakesys has no separate zipline module: a zipline tour is a guided departure with a capacity, the same model as a ropes course session.
Guests book a course time and pass safety checks before arriving
Pick a course, select the session time, enter weight and height during the waiver, pay with Apple Pay. The system checks restrictions automatically. If someone's over the weight limit, they find out on their phone, not at the harness station. Available sessions show real-time capacity.

Weight, height, and age captured before the van pulls up
Your waiver collects everything you need: liability release, weight, height, age, medical conditions. Guests fill it out at home on their phone. If a school group of 30 is coming, every parent signs independently. On arrival, your guides check the manifest, see all green, and start the safety briefing.

Your manifest knows who's cleared before you do
Every guest, every booking, every waiver, with weight/height verification at a glance. Tap to check in a school group of 30. See which sessions are full and which have walk-in space. Handle walk-ins, refunds, and upsells from the same iPad your guide uses for check-in.

What to Look For in Adventure Park Software
Based on running activity venues and talking to adventure park operators, here's what actually matters:
- Multi-Activity Booking: Adventure parks offer multiple activities. Your software should handle combo packages and individual activity booking.
- Waiver Integration: High-risk activities require airtight waivers. They must be signed before arrival. Group waivers for corporate team building are essential.
- Capacity Management: Each activity has different capacity limits. Real-time availability across all activities prevents overbooking.
- Weather Handling: Outdoor parks need easy rescheduling and weather-related cancellation policies. Automated notifications save staff time.
- Group & Corporate Booking: Adventure parks get large group and corporate bookings. Individual claiming with separate waiver signing is essential.
- Transparent Pricing: Adventure activities are premium-priced. Per-booking commissions on $40-80 tickets eat margins fast. Know your costs.

Adventure park software questions answered
From weight restrictions to school group waivers: everything about running ziplines and ropes courses with wakesys.
Adventure parks need software that handles safety waivers with weight/height capture, guided session scheduling with fixed start times, and group coordination for schools and corporates. wakesys does all of this, plus the waiver is signed before arrival, so your guides aren't waiting on paperwork.
During the waiver, guests enter their weight and height. If they fall outside your course limits (e.g., 50-250 lbs, 4'0" minimum), the system flags it before they book. No awkward conversations at the harness station. No refunds for guests who drove an hour to find out they can't participate.
The teacher or coordinator books the session and gets a shareable link. Each parent opens it, fills out their child's info (including weight/height), signs the waiver, and confirms. You see a real-time dashboard: 28 of 30 students confirmed, 2 waivers pending. On trip day, the bus arrives and everyone's cleared.
The organizer books guided sessions for their team and gets one link. Each employee claims their spot, enters their weight/height for safety checks, and signs the waiver. Your manifest shows exactly who's cleared and who needs attention. All before the van pulls up.
Yes. wakesys is mobile-first. A family driving by can book the next available session, sign waivers, enter weight/height, and pay from the parking lot. If there's capacity, they're on the course in 15 minutes. The entire flow takes about 2 minutes on a phone.
