Kiddy rides at fairs

[Guest guest]

I took my girls to a festival a few towns away today.

They had 3 small kiddy rides. A carousel, a train and some type of airplane one.

None of these did anything but go in a big circle.

On the rides that weren't the carousel, they were pretty much on a big track and

the kids sit in a seat and it goes around the track.

Pretty simple and slow.

I had both of my daughters on each one a few times.

It has been cool here this weekend, so Avery had a shirt on over her cast. It

started warming up, so I took her shirt off and she just had her knit rite shirt

under her cast on.

When I tried to take her to the same ride she had been on 3 times, they tried to

deny her to ride. I was pretty upset.

The girl just started pointing to the sign before the ride. She pointed to the

part about injured people not being able to ride. Avery isn't injured. I tried

to explain what her cast was for about 5 minutes, before my aunt stepped in and

told her that Avery had ridden 3 times and how about we just put her shirt back

on.

The girl was afraid to get into trouble.

I understand that they have to do their job, but I was pretty frustrated that I

had to explain myself for that long after I told her that she wasn't injured.

She even asked me what scoliosis was after I tried to explain.

The sad part is that it was for liability reasons only. This ride would have

been fine for anyone, it was that slow.

I shouldn't let it get to me, but I haven't had any negative reactions since she

got her cast. I have had curious questions, but haven't ever had to defend her.

I know that I have seen posts on here about Disney World, so I know that cast

kids ride rides.

Has anyone else had this happen?
