Disney sued for banning Tower of Terror ride
A Florida woman is suing Walt Disney World for banning her from its Tower of Terror ride, saying riding it is a medical necessity. Denise Mooty says the “G-forces of going up and down” the 199-foot thrill ride help break up fibrous adhesions in her abdomen. Disney, she says, had decided to limit her to four rides a week, far fewer than the dozens her doctor has ordered. Mooty was then banned, Disney says, “for causing a disturbance within the presence of other guests and using foul language toward a cast member.”
