The U.S. Department of Justice has sued United Parks & Resorts, the parent company overseeing SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, claiming that the company’s recent prohibition of specific wheeled walkers and rollators violates the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The legal action follows months of scrutiny regarding the company’s policy updates, which federal prosecutors allege have unfairly restricted access for guests who rely on the specific mobility aids. A rollator is like a walker but includes a built-in seat.
