WTF Disneyworld
- Thread starter hedgehog
- Start date
slam dunk win for the plaintiffs - mostly because
1) folks expect a heightened level of safety whilst visiting Disney Resorts (i.e. if there were huge Eagles about which could snatch your kid, and such animals used to exist, Disney woulda had nets to keep them out)
2) Disney was on record being warned, by a lawyer no less, about the gator dangers and blew it off.
man-made body of water makes no difference in FL. All the golfers on this forum have seen pictures of gators strolling about the greens looking for water hazards. Disney works with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission to remove nuisance gators, and obviously, been pretty lackadaisical about this effort of late.
Yes, every long term FL resident knows to avoid gator-possible waters - esp at dusk, esp after breeding season - but Disney hosts many out of state visitors who aren't educated in such matters....this will all be settled out of court in typical Disney fashion...

If the body of water was natural, not man-made, there's no case?
Heightened level of security :facepalm: It was a wild animal!
I guess I'm the problem for not finding a reason to sue. Litigate away. Let's sue Florida for not posting fliers and not engineering alligators out of the equation.

I am so confused as to your level of intelligence vs. you completely missing the point on this issue. So weird.
I'm just curious as to why some of you aren't calling for the parents to be imprisoned as was the case with the little black kid falling into the ape enclosure? A two year old was wading intro water that was marked no swimming while the parents were supposed to be watching. The kid gets grabbed by a gator and the dad tries to wrestle the gator. They have two children and one was in a playpen when the younger was grabbed, so it would stand to reason that the parents weren't tending to her needs, yet they weren't close enough to the two year old to prevent the attack. Hmmmmmmm
The parents of the kid that fell into the enclosure were tending to another one of their children for a moment, the kid bolts over the parapet and the dad tries to jump into the enclosure, but is held back. The ape dies, boy is saved, yet many call for legal action to be taken against the parents.
I'm curious as to why there is a lack of the same accusatory fervor incriminating the parents as present here with the black family at the zoo?
As far as the lawsuit goes, in my opinion Disney has some culpability. They built the lagoon as an attraction for the most part. They are responsible for the safety of it.
Hope this helps,

Da fuq?
One is a zoo.
One is wonder and enchanted.
Who the fuck is thinking about gators in a man made body of water created by disney?
I'm guessing the folks that manufactured and posted the signs that say no swimming had it cross their mind.
Besides that, they're both zoos for the most part.

How many times have you let a two year old toddler wade into a lagoon unattended and thought that it seemed perfectly sensible?

Want to make one thing perfectly clear. I am in no way, shape or form trying to infer that I personally believe the parents to be at fault in either incident.
The above question was posed by me only because I find it somewhat odd and even hypocritical that none on this forum tried to blame the parents for negligence when they were all over it in the zoo incident. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less

What are the necessary number of signs needed and where would I find the regulation? Without seeing that and assessing the actual number of signs present, we don't know whether it's a fact at all, do we?

You already said there were signs when you blamed the parents for not watching their child.
How do you know the kid was wading in the water and the father wrestled with the gator? We don't know whether it's a fact at all, do we?
You already blamed the parents in the gator incident and you gave the parents in the ape incident a pass. So you are not making it perfectly clear at all.
You're all over the place.
You might want to reread what I wrote and the incident report again there counselor.
The report which is the first post in this thread clearly states, witnesses reported seeing the toddler washing into the lagoon. Sheriff's retorted there are no swimming signs present and there is no swimming in the pool.
Furthermore, in my post I asked why those that went so far as to blame the parents in the gorilla incident are so strangely silent about this incident. So we do know those things after all don't we?
My personal feelings are that both incidents are tragedies and sad. If there was an unsafe condition inadequately managed by Disney then I'm sure they'll have to pay.
Maybe you want to slow your roll a little bit there Barretta and get back to me about who's all over the place after a little light reading?

What's so hard to understand about this statement, "I'm just curious as to why some of YOU aren't calling for the parents to be imprisoned as was the case the the little black kid falling into the ape enclosure?"
I can certainly see where maybe you thought I was advocating for blame to be laid their way, which is why I posted that I do not.
Does that clear some things up for you Matlock?
