> >>     At the end of the day there are multiple approaches to addressing 
> >> what
> >> to do with your dog if you wish to take in an attraction where the dog 
> >> can't
> >> go or if you don't feel comfortable taking it with you. It's a matter of
> >> finding the one that works best and you're most comfortable with.
> >>
> >>     Since Mary doesn't like rough rides she waited in an air conditioned
> >> area with Johnny while I, and several others in our group rode the Spider
> >> Man Ride at Islands of Adventure.
> >>
> >>     Bush Gardens has a very good accessibility brochure that has
> >> descriptions of all the rides including advisories concerning taking your
> >> dog on each one. Perhaps Mark should take a look at these and see how the
> >> service animal access information could be rewritten to be clearer to 
> >> park
> >> visitors who use them.
> >>
> >>     They have a ride I used to ride as a kid. Back in Massachusetts we
> >> called it "The Swiss Alpine Lift." Bush Gardens calls it the "Sky 
> >> Ride."It's
> >> best described as a skilift type of attraction that carries passengers 
> >> over
> >> several areas of the free-running areas populated with African Animals.
> >> Since this type of ride vehicle has floorspace your dog can accompany you 
> >> on
> >> it provided you and the dog can be seated comfortably in the ride 
> >> vehicle.
> >>
> >> Another variation of this ride is similar to Sorin at Disney World and
> >> Disneyland where your feet hang out. There's no way you could get a dog 
> >> on
> >> this type of ride vehicle hence the need to have someone watch the dog 
> >> while
> >> you ride or use a waiting kennel.
