She was singled out by not having special accommodations made just for her and treated her like any other rider? Riiight.

I thought you only had to accommodate disabilities?

Oh, wait....is she claiming her being a fat slob is a disability?

I'm torn on this one. On one hand, I think that if she wants two seats then she should buy two tickets. On the other hand, if I was in line behind her and had to sit next to her and she was hanging halfway into my seat I would be pissed.

I'm a little fluffy myself and there have been some rides where it's a tight fit. I would never even think about askin for an accomodation. If I can't fit... I just won't ride it. The end.

I've seen this first hand at Animal Kingdom. We were next in line for flight of passage and this land whale could not fit on the ride. She kept screaming at the kid working the ride yelling something about poo and she has a right to be on the ride. She was eventually escorted off by her family and later I found out she was yelling that she is Poo Sized as in Winnie the Pooh.

She’s wasting a ton of time on this nonsense while she could be eating.

Sounds like she was pretty ashamed of herself on her own.

Probably mad because the free dinner they offered only allowed her one entree and one dessert.

It's actually a thing at Universal with their rides not being able to fit bigger people.

I'm a walking example, I went in 2011 and there was quite a few rides I didn't fit on. The Harry Potter one, the roller coaster by Harry Potter, the Hulk coaster, and Rip Ride Rockit come to mind. It was definitely humiliating, but it was what it was. I kind of thought it was a problem because while I was big, I wouldn't say I was excessively overweight (like this particular lady) and it made me wonder if I couldn't fit then how many other people couldn't?

But it's all how you handle it, I went back a few months later and after slightly changing my eating habits and doing a little bit of walking I fit on everything. Now I really doubt this lady does that.

This, to me, is no different than he/she's and folks with the gay. She chooses to be fat, just like they choose to be a girl/boy no matter what equipment they have. If they're a protected class, so should lard arse.

I think it's all a bunch of bullshite. It screams mommy didn't love me growing up.

This stupid woman couldn't have less self awareness. What accommodations does she want that doesn't inconvenience everyone else?

Her tub of lard arse was a safety risk, not just to herself, but to other people. How about my rights to feel safe riding a ride that are violated if your fat arse sits on it?

The small chance of the ride malfunctioning because of her fat shite is not worth it.

These people that want to world to bend over and accommodate them like the red sea parts for their stupid minute issues floors me. frick this woman.

You thought you were humiliated? How do you think you look now? Bring this bitch a mirror and a scale.

It doesn't sound like they told her she COULDN"T ride it because of her weight, just that she'd have to share the bench with other people and she CHOSE not to; that's why she's saying they "discriminated" against her.

quote:

which she was unable to enjoy because employees allegedly declined her request to make room by having one fewer persons in her row.


quote:

On a previous visit, the mom, who has an annual pass to the theme park, was able to experience Skull Island by riding with her young daughters. Though the ride features a bench without a safety bar, Morales was concerned that squeezing in next to strangers would make them feel “uncomfortable.”


I'm sure if given the choice the strangers forced to share the bench with her would have opted to ride without her fatass, but it's BS crying discrimination just because the operator wanted to fill the ride to capacity and she didn't get what she wanted.
