But your dad doesnt have a disability (does he?) so he cant pull the victim card instantly.

This is pathetic. A guy gets stuck on a ride, just sitting there. And he gets eight grand compensation for it?!
This is a perfect example of the absurd lawsuit culture that is taking over america. Shit happens, but suing someone just isnt necessary.
These people are a joke.
On one hand I agree with you 30 minutes is no big deal, and being on that ride is voluntary. All jokes aside the song isn't that bad, and having actually been on it it's actually kind of neat.... the first time, though I have had the odd, nightmarish thought of people's souls trapped in those dolls for all eternity, looking out through the eyes as the ride goes by unable to move, as that song plays again and again...
On the other hand the guy is paralyzed, and Disney makes a big deal about it's handicapped assitance and so on. The fact that they were unprepared to get this guy off the ride, when they put him on it, is kind of a big deal in of itself. The exact ride is irrelevent, leaving someone stuck for 30 minutes while they wait to "get around to it" is more or less the kind of abuse laws covering the handicapped are intended to prevent, and Disney in paticular makes a point in their promotion tot hat crowd of saying they are well suited to handle and prevent.
My big question here is more along the lines of if this guy is so badly handicapped that he cannot get off a ride on his own, where his caretaker(s) were during this. Technically anyone allowed to care for a person like that should be able to help them get in and out of chairs and such like those on a ride as a matter of course.
