Show Notes
The U.S. Department of Justice has sued United Parks and Resorts, parent company of SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, for violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. The lawsuit challenges the companys ban on wheeled walkers and rollators with built-in seats, which affects multiple theme parks and impacts guests with disabilities. The policy shift, which followed a FOX 35 investigation, led to barriers and high rental fees for alternatives. SeaWorld has since updated its approach, offering free standard wheelchairs or seatless rollators. The lawsuit seeks policy changes, staff training, compensation, and penalties, highlighting the need for better accessibility at major attractions.
