But that is not providing them with the same experience. Your plan is to exclude them from going up the same ramp, which is against what ADA is all about. Which again is why it wouldn’t work and why no MF ramp will ever be part of the experience.
It’s grandfathered in so it doesn’t have to have an ADA experience.
Let's play around a bit. If the Falcon was a walkthrough, and it did include a walk up ramp, and the ramp wasn't ADA accessible, so long as the Falcon itself is, does it matter that the ramp isn't? Could there be an elevator on the bottom of the hull that allows access for those in wheelchairs?
I'm not a legal expert on this topic, but my understanding is you have to provide the same experience for those with disabilities, meaning you cannot exclude. So if part of the core advertised experience is going up the MF ramp (which we all know it would be) then you have to provide an ADA way to do it. Which is why any ramp would need to be ADA compliant, meaning a long ramp and would break the illusion of going up the ramp from the movies.
They get the same experience by going to the same chess room and ride in the ADA pods. They get an enterance similar to what is there now.
No they aren't getting the same experience, it would be advertised that guests get to go up the ramp to the MF. Once again you are excluding a protected class of the population from having the same advertised experience, you can't do that. Also a ramp is already an ADA alternative to stairs, so its ludicrous to say that they couldn't experience the ramp because its a ramp that's too steep. That would be the quickest lawsuit ever....
Then as I suggested before, threy go up a different ADA retro fit version of the ramp while everyone goes up the ramp. That is no different than how it is now where everyone else goes to the regular pitt and they go to the ADA cokcpitt. Same cockpitt just ADA compliant.
So you're suggestion creating a whole another MF life size model with an ADA compliant ramp? I think that would be waste of land. Or are you talking about creating just the "ramp" somewhere else, I don't think that would fly due to not being the same experience. But whatever.
The ADA experience for the Submarine Voyage is sitting in a room with a monitor. By definition, people who are disabled are not able to experience the same experiences as people who are able.
Yes but they are getting the same view as someone in the Subs, just on a monitor. So the experience is actually the same, they aren't missing out on the experience. Its a compromise for a grandfathered attraction. If the Subs were built today they would have to provide an ADA complaint Sub.
In that I'm tired of nerds arguing. I just want a fun, enjoyable land!
The point is it can be done and should have been done. Imagineering could have found a way to do better and make it work.
You don’t know that. You obviously don’t think or really care about the ADA laws or what is and is not possible because of them.
