[Sportsandrec] Roller Coasters??

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Ginger and everyone,

    Those things can be had for a $100.00 deposit. A mouth and two ears are 
much cheaper and come standard equipment in various forms depending on the 
species of life in question. They work extremely well for allowing one to 
navigate one's environment and taking in the sites and sounds of such places 
as theme parks.

It's my understanding that some of the amusement parks, Disney in 
particular,
have hand held GPS tools available for you to use. I know people who have 
been
able to get around the park independently, if you know how to use a GPS.

Yes, I suggest that you go directly to the Guest Relations office and tell 
them
your situation. As an accommodation, amusement parks generally can provide a
park employee to walk/direct you to each ride. I've been to both Magic
Mountain, and to Great America in California and had a park employee assist 
my
group with getting around the park. I've never been to a park in Florida, 
but
the same accommodation should apply. I was able to do this the day of but 
just
to make sure, you may want to call Guest Relations in advance. Good luck and
have a blast!
