That’s negligence on behalf of the operator.


The ride should not have been altered, but I believe all of these rides have to be inspected by a Govt agency that should have red flagged this ride.

That’ll be a great defense

But the government shouldn’t have let us!

IIRC, Florida has very specific rules about inspections of rides like this that put the onus on the operator.

The reason is that a lot of the rides at Disney, Universal, Busch Gardens, Legoland, etc are too complicated for the normal inspections. The parks inspect them themselves.

If the little pissant parks are covered under this, that may explain why they cut corners and didn’t get caught.
