It's a slow-moving boat ride. Hardly something that should cause a problem -- they have a special loading area for guests with disabilities and everything.

Stupid, yeah. Still doesn’t excuse them from not calling the fire dept., though.

That’s what I was thinking! You have to be physically able and mentally stable to go on any rides! I hope he didn’t go on Space Mountain. There’s another $8,000 for getting scared. I won’t even go onto flume rides. But having to wait at Small World for 1/2 hour? I am so tired of stupid lawsuits and greedy people.

Thank you. My thoughts exactly!

I for one am terrified of roller coasters. But if I get on one voluntarily and suffer a panic attack, is the ride operator to blame?

I have a friend who loves roller coasters but is terrified of Ferris wheels. I however love Ferris wheels. When we went to Hershey Park, we made a deal: I would get on a roller coaster with her (not one that hung upside down mind you – that was a deal breaker) and she would get on the Ferris wheel with me.

When the roller coaster made its first big plunge, I recall screaming to my friend, “I really hate youuuuuuuuu!” She felt and expressed the same when the Ferris wheel stopped for about 5 minutes while we were at the top.

No while I’m not so found of roller coasters, I’m not so phobic to the point of having such a full blown panic attack that I might try to do something stupid like jump off or require medical attention. Same with my friend on the Ferris wheel; she was not happy but she survived.

But if someone is prone to full blown panic attacks, they shouldn’t be getting on any amusement ride IMO, not even a Merry Go Round (and I don’t really like them either.)

No kidding! I'm betting he was riding every single ride HOPING one would break down and give him a nice payday.
