Fragile-People Amusement Parks

 Pregnant? Heart Condition? Not this tall? This is the place for you.

Right, so I'm sure that "It's A Small World" allows young children, pregnant women and the elderly to ride but what about an amusement park built Especially for them?

Every ride would be accessible, there would be no "You must be at least this tall" signs, and no warnings for mothers-to-be or folks with heart conditions. Not to say there Should be and the rides are just normal rides (hah). Rather, every ride is as fun as possible without potential to harm the less-than-robust.

Or maybe just a section of a regular theme park so the kids and the grandparents can split up.

       A ride especially designed for, say, pregnant women with heart trouble? Perhaps a cushy sofa-chair with wheels (and a brake) would fit the bill, but it doesn't sound like much fun.

       Why not just choose the slow rides in the normal amusment parks?

       Yes, it would be boring and chances are fragile people just won't turn out in great enough numbers to pay overhead, but your heart is in the right place and for that a bun. +

       Community parks? Nothing less exciting than a bench.

       I like it. I have been on some rides that have just been too fast or too scary. A slower less thrilling ride would be great for some of us regular folks too.

       As opposed to the "majority rules" park where you vote on how fast the ride will be, and the losers either die or are bored silly.
