I just read this, please forgive me if it has already been mentioned. I thought this was absolutely lovely and something that I (shamefully) have never thought about. These kids have missed out for ages.

    That's awesome, i've never really thought about what these kids miss out on, you know ive seen kids in wheelchairs at theme parks before but never really thought there are probably alot of the rides they can't go on. I've started seeing those swings for wheel chair kids in park round Brisbane lately.

    I saw a story on this a while back, I thought it was so sweet.

    And yes, we do need some positive posts around here.

    Really? I haven't seen any here yet, might have to suggest that to my local council. :)

    what a sweet sweet man! Thanks for the article Lorna!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    What a lovely guy hey? I just can't believe that noone had thought of this sooner. I kinda feel bad that it had never crossed my mind before. Like he.who.forgets mentioned and threefish, I have seen these kids at theme parks before that have been confined to wheelchairs or have other disabilities and didn't think about the fact that they can't ride anything. Great to think people from around the world can take their kids and they can be involved in most of the adventures in this place. Puts a big goofy smile on my face. :D
