A 17-year-old born without hands is disappointed at being excluded from Sea World’s “Kraken,” but “Katie Champagne’s misery is the result of a litigious society, not heartless theme parks.” [Beth Kassab, Orlando Sentinel; error corrected on name of theme park operator, thanks commenter P. McC.]

if she puts her mind to it, i’m sure she could find a lawyer willingto sue for discrimination under the ADA.
Kraken is one of the coasters at Sea World here, not at Universal as stated in the OP.
Ummmmm……..would you really WANT to ride an amusement park roller coaster where the only thing holding you in the seat is your ability to hang on to a bar? It’s like saying that you’re safe riding unbelted in my convertible as I do 80 down the freeway because you’re hanging onto the door handle. There is something about the amusement park’s reasoning that doesn’t make sense.
