You're right. I do feel bad. I'd been blaming one idiot all along, now if it turns out he had a support person with him who let him on the ride alone, I have two people to call stupid. C'mon Jake, it's not like you could expect much more from someone with trump as they profile pic.

I'm not going to feel bad for saying he should be responsible for the costs involved in his stupidity. I'm tired of the political correctness movement, You can't in one breath say that we should treat disabled (or whatever word we are allowed to use this month) the same as anyone else, and then in the next say they shouldn't be responsible for any of their actions because they are disabled... If DW had said he couldn't ride because of his disability there would have been an uproar about that too, just like that stupid video the other month...

haha i never even took notice of that, explains a lot of the "bullshit" that he's always posting now

Really on the Star Wars front? I watched it and didn't give two hoots that one of the leads was black, and the existence of non-clone Storm Troopers was explained away. In any case, if I'm to assume that this person stood up on the ride, then we have to ask if he is in the right mind. If he has some form of disability, he may not have been. Not his fault if that's the case. In that case, it's the fault of his carer for not supervising him enough. It may also be that DW is at fault for letting him on the ride, but that's another case. If the person WAS in the right mind then they are definitely stupid and at fault. Ultimately it comes down to who can be responsible. I could take my two-year-old son on the ride, and he understands most instructions and normally behaves himself, but he'd probably be quite excited and want to get out or stand up or something. I couldn't trust him, therefore I would be responsible and I would have to ride with him. Similar story for some people with some disabilities - the person in question could not be trusted, so there would have to be a person to take care and responsibility.

The problem with the word disability is the word is overused. I hate the word really but as most people know I don’t believe in political correctness. I prefer people to say what they think. Funny thing is the video that was only posted up a little while ago about DW being to tuff of disabilities.

^That is true, but we don't know the disability, and some disabilities do have major effects on people and the way they think. So this man, may have not known what he was doing to a certain extent. But in that case, the carer should have been on the ride with him. But in the end we can't make assumptions, unless a statement is made.

Sony? Blasphemer! Konica Minolta should stay where it belongs - back in the 90's. As for the rest... Amen to that. As for how he knew it was you - you don't exactly make a secret of yourself through on-ride videos being narrated on screen, and various other bits and pieces. @reanimated35 is quite the facebook stalker... but i got one over on him when I found him first.

Thunderbolt area had plans for WhiteWater World expansion approved so that's the only thing I want to see done there. There is heaps of other room around the former Blue Lagoon area that would suit a new coaster.

You pretty much nailed it in my mind. With all due respect to the Austereo network, they're an entertainment company, not a news company, and so they report what happens with as much journalistic integrity as news.com.au.
