Just saw on the news that Disneyland officials have reopened
the Roger Rabbit ride at Disneyland. Apparantly they installed
new safety precautions on the ride to avoid unfortunate
accidents like what occured 9 months ago which shut it down
in the first place. I would also like to add, that even though
a ride may appear safe, if you do have a child and want to
take them on a ride you should take into serious
considerations about the warnings they post. I've been
on the Roger Rabbit ride and it's a great ride, but if you spin it
fast enough I can see how it could throw a 4 year old boy. It
isn't like most of the Fantasyland rides, but even with those
rides I could see something happening to a small child if
someone doesn't take precautions. It is a moving vehicle
after all and they are quite heavy.
I used to work at Universal Studios at the E.T. ride, and you
wouldn't believe how irresponsible some parents can be.
(I am in no way saying that what happened at the Roger Rabbit
ride was the parents fault) You wouldn't believe how many
parents tried to bring their children who were under the
age requirement onto the ride. One lady went so far as
to hide her infant in a blanket and placed the child in-between
her lap and the lap bar. I was working at the exit at the
time and one of the leads noticed it first.
I know the vast majority of parents are very responsible
with their kids, but I cannot stress enough how important
it is to evaluate how safe a ride is for your child. When it
comes to your child there really is no such thing as a
safety free environment.
