I know I haven’t; and it’s been about fifty years.
Horrible, atheist, depressing Disney tune. It’s like torture.

3 hrs stuck with the song continuously playing?
New method for interrogations at Gitmo, I’d say

People that psychologically fragile shouldn't ride "It's a Small World" even at normal speed.
Now that #($%*#( song is stuck in my head and I'll have to dig it out with a screwdriver.

that was really what started everything rolling
Snort. I can't think of a worse song to have to listen to for 30 minutes.

We visited DW last December. I swear that 10% of the visiting population is on motorized scooters. They make the shuttle bus loop take forever as they have to be boarded on, jockeyed into place, strapped down, etc.

Now sue the victim for being an irresponsible idiot by getting on the ride in the first place knowing he had a panic disorder.

RE :”
A wheelchair-bound man was awarded $8,000 by Disneyland after the “It’s A Small World” ride broke, stranding him for a half hour while the theme song played continuously, according to an attorney for the plaintiff.” “It’s A Small World” was Disney’s main attraction at the 1964/1965 Worlds Fair in Flushing (Queens) NY. My parents took 8mm home movies when we visited that Fair, no sound though. Still remember home movies of that ride.
We are talking a ~ 45 year old ride

I’d like a lot more information like:
How much does the lawyer get? 30%? That’s what, $2400?
How much did he sue for? Had to be at least six figures.
How big was the settlement they turned down?
Disney can say they are disappointed but it looks like they came out of this just fine, other than paying lawyers fees.

What an utterly frivolous lawsuit.
This guy is no different from a pnahandler.
To: Huntress
Couldn’t have happened to a better set of politically correct bastards. Too bad it was only $8,000.
Maybe if he was gay and black as well as Hispanic and disabled, he might have gotten more money.

It was only 30 minutes!
I’ve been trapped there that long!
Long enough to learn all the harmony parts to the song!
It’s a small pay-off, after all
Geez at least he didnt get trapped and come close to being flamebroiled like we did at the Mummy ride in Universal
