DOJ sues SeaWorld’s parent company over ban on wheeled walkers at their parks - AP News

The Department of Justice has sued SeaWorld's parent company, alleging the entertainment parks illegally ban guests from using wheeled walkers in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The ADA requires public accommodations to provide reasonable access for people with disabilities, and wheeled walkers are mobility devices that many disabled visitors rely on to navigate theme parks. The lawsuit challenges SeaWorld's policy as discriminatory and seeks to force the company to allow wheeled walkers across its facilities. This case centers on whether blanket equipment bans can withstand scrutiny under federal disability law, even when parks cite operational or safety concerns. The outcome could affect how other entertainment venues apply restrictions on mobility aids.
