DALLAS — Six Flags America has taken two big steps to make its parks more accessible to people with physical disabilities and autism, concluding years of effort by the amusement park chain and mirroring a broader movement toward accessibility in the entertainment industry.
“I believe everybody has the same philosophy that we do, that we want to be open to everybody that wants to come and enjoy our properties,” said Jason Freeman, vice president of public safety and risk management.
Six Flags outfitted its rides at U.S. parks with specialized harnesses that allow people with physical disabilities to access them, the company announced last month.
