16 and older
Friends, chats and check-ins are for people aged 16 and over. The app only stores whether you passed the age check, never your date of birth.
New: friends & chats
Better together in the park
Chat with your friends, plan in groups and see who is already at the park. Themepark Genius now brings your park crew into the app, with privacy you control.
Friends chat
Plan the day together
Chat one-on-one with friends or start a group for the whole crew. Agree on the next ride while the wait times are right there in the same app.
- One-on-one chats with your friends
- Group chats with up to 50 members
- Add friends by username or QR code
Direct messages
Message anyone, on your terms
Got a question for someone who isn't your friend yet? Send them a direct message. First contacts are limited, and anyone can block or report with a tap.
- Direct messages, also with people who aren't your friends
- A limit on first messages from new contacts
- Block and report right from the chat
Check-ins
See who is at the park
Check in when you arrive and your friends see that you are there and where you are in the park. It ends when you check out, leave the park or the park closes.
- Friends Only or Public, your choice at every check-in
- Your friends on the park map, with a friends filter
- Live check-ins in your friends list
Profiles
A face for your username
Add a profile photo and decide who sees it. Tap someone on the park map or in search to open their profile straight away.
- Profile photo for friends only or for everyone
- Profiles open from the map and from search
- Your email address stays private
Privacy & safety
Social, with privacy built in
You stay in control of what others see, and of who can reach you.
You decide who sees you
Check-ins and your profile photo are either for friends only or public. Change it at any time and it applies right away.
Your email stays private
Friends find and add you by your username. A friend request has to be accepted before you are friends.
Block and report
Blocking ends a friendship, stops messages in both directions and hides you from each other. Our team reviews every report, and the reported person is not told who reported them.
Community guidelines
Clear rules for a friendly community. You find them in the app, next to the social features.
Delete means delete
Deleting your account also deletes all of your social data.

Questions & answers
Who can see my check-ins?
You choose at every check-in. With Friends Only, only your friends see that you are at the park and where you are. With Public, your friends and everyone else who checked in publicly at the same park see you, and you see them. A check-in ends when you check out, leave the park or the park closes.
Can strangers message me?
Yes, people who are not your friends can send you a direct message, but first contacts are limited. If someone bothers you, block them: neither of you can message the other any more.
How do I block or report someone?
Choose Block or Report in the chat or on the person's profile. Blocked people are not told. Our team reviews every report, and the reported person does not learn who reported them. You manage blocked users in the Social Privacy settings.
Why do I have to be 16?
Chats and check-ins mean contact with other people and sharing where you are in the park. To protect younger users, the social features start at 16. The app stores only the result of the age check, not your date of birth.
What happens to my data when I delete my account?
All of your social data is deleted together with your account.
Is it free?
Yes. The social features are free. You need a Themepark Genius account with a username, and you need to be 16 or older.
