Had someone ask me this other day and its outside my area of expertise and knowledge. Looking for info I can pass on if any. This person and family went to a theme park. They have a handicap placard and went to designated parking for handicap. The area they parked was quite a distance from main gate (like many theme parks) however there was no Tram or the like to take them to Gate. The handicap person can only walk for short distances without a great deal of pain. One of the able family members tried to get help fro security. This person told them that the wheel chair rental would not open for another 30 minutes and they could only bring chair to gate. After a while a a lot of pain handicap family member made it to gate got in chair and went to rental area to get electric one for the day. Here's the question. Is this an ADA or the like issue? Shouldn't the have closer parking or offer Tram or the like? They plan to seek out Lawyers after they contact park to see if they will offer compensation. So is there a violation of any kind here? Whats the point of handicap parking if it doesnt resolve issue its there for?
