Justice Department Sues SeaWorld and Other Theme Parks over Wheeled Walker Ban

The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida filed a lawsuit today against United Parks and Resorts and its subsidiaries, which own and operate parks including SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Discovery Cove Orlando, and Aquatica Orlando. The Department alleges in its Complaint that UPR's policy banning guests from using wheeled walkers with seats (including rollators with seats) violates Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

If you believe you have been a victim of disability discrimination by United Parks & Resorts Inc., including parks such as SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Discovery Cove Orlando, and Aquatica Orlando, please file a complaint with the Civil Rights Division online at www.civilrights.justice.gov, or by calling the Department's toll-free ADA Information Line at 1-800-514-0301 (1-833-610-1264 (TTY)).
