Re: Needed Advice On Why People treat you different?

[Guest guest]

I live in the Heart of Texas and I have not had that problem. My husband and

I work in pairs. He will just run with our daughter and put her on the ride.

I will handle the attendant. I hand him a signed letter of responsibility and

the tickets. I have not had a problem yet. I have, however gotten some pretty

terrible looks from the other parents that think I am putting my BABY on the

ride. But as I usually say,@##%@#@ on them. Just my two cents worth. a

This happened to us here in Oregon. I got so mad, I refused to go back ever

again~ whether or not Amy reaches the height requirement! I don't know how

to stop that sort of treatment. I don't really think it's discrimination~

just ignorance on the carney's part!

Some things in life are just not fair, and this happpens to be one of them!

there is a big broohaa, here, after the county fair, in which the ride

operators refused to allow a group of developmentally disabled children to

go on any of the rides, despite the fact that they were all accompanied by

staff members.

the children had been taken to the fair in a group by the staff of several

group homes.

it happens across all spectrums.. sometimes life is a PITA

Tom and Kris,

This kind of thing happens to me all the time. I'm only 3' 7 " tall and I

love rolercosters and all kinds of rides. When I arrive at places such as

these I asl to speek to the Manager before I ride anything. I tell them of

the problems I might face wanting to ride the rides and ask can I have a

written memo, that I also sign, to say I can go on the rides. It also says I

will not hold the place responsible if I'm hurt.

I studied physics and structural engineering so I do have some idea of what I

really should not go on. A lot of rides are based on a persons centre of

gravity and most audlt dwarfs have the correct CG to ride these rides. Now

if one must to their legs then I know I can't ride it. It is also important

the there is good saftey equipment that a shorter person can use. Just the

pull down bars are not good for me and I need seat beats and/or those " U "

shaped bars you pull down over your head on really fast rides.

I find it really silly that they didn't let you on the kids rides, because

they are make for kids. I think it is great you are going to do something

about it.

Take care,

Jude

I have questions: why? Why would you put yourself in possible danger,

possibly risking even more surgery than you already had to have? I just do

not get it, why??
