ONLY $8,000?! Disabled man awarded $8000 after being stranded on Disneyland ride

A different small world ride.

"It's A Small World" ride could be used for "enhanced interrogation." It is akin to listening to congress or the UN during their open speech periods. The nicest thing about this ride (that has been around since it was moved from the last NY World's Fair) is getting out of it. m/r

A wheelchair-bound man was awarded $8,000 by Disneyland after the "It's A Small World" ride broke, stranding him for a half hour while the theme song played continuously, according to an attorney for the plaintiff.

Jose Martinez, who suffers from panic attacks and high blood pressure, did not medically stabilize for three hours after the ride broke down in 2009, attorney David Geffen said.

"He has panic disorder and that was really what started everything rolling," Geffen said. "What caused the court concern, as well, because Disney was alerted about his panic problem and didn't call for the fire department right away."
