This post isn't intended to bash sea world, simply to say they are far behind other parks in servicing handicapped guests. On my latest trip to sea world I encountered a very uncomfortable situation. I have a prosthetic left arm from my elbow down. I got in my seat for kraken, was fastened in and then sat on the ride for about 15 minutes. I waited in line and also sat in the chair, all while the workers were talking amongst themselves chatting. It wasn't until I was all set to go, when a worker came over and told myself and my friend that we had to leave the ride. It was very embarrassing. We had to walk off as everyone else watched, obviously knowing why we had to go. The worker said prosthetics were a risk and we should contact guest services. I wouldn't have an issue with this if they told us right away when standing in line. (The worker said "row 3 seats 1&2 enjoy!")This was the last park we traveled to, includingDisney's 4 parks, universal, and bush gardens. We had been on every type of extreme "attraction" and never had a ride stop for us. We went to guest services and only got a "sorry" that workers hadn't picked it up sooner. Sea world needs to realize their status as a major Orlando attraction and step their game up! Anyone else experience hardships at universal when it comes to handicapped guests?
