I saw a little girl and her father- and the girl had heelies- I believe she nearly skidded into something, but Dad had a hold of her hand so she didn't hurt herself. I made a quiet comment to Dad, that somehow she should have her wheels removed. He agreed and said he would.

Over at LMA only a couple of us ask kids to stop skating and I have gotten to the point that as I catch them I make them sit on the ground and take the darn wheels out. trust me a lot of stairs, 500 people and skates do not MIX at all. But hey it trains these kids to be stunt men if they make it all the way down the stairs LOL

I 'tried' to bring up this point to my superviser last week to take to the loss prevention meeting. He told me "That would be 'discrimination'". (darph gives 'blank stare'). My reply was " Would you let someone ride on roller-skates,or a skateboard through the store"?

He replied back "Welll,no". Case closed!

Well I had the pleasure of seeing a 11 year old kid run smack into the wall at the exit to Soaring 2 weeks ago. His Mom was horrified then put out as I looked him over head to toe, shook my head slowly and loudly proclaimed "Dumbass" as I walked away.

Watched a kid eat floor in Tusker House today. Rolling right over the tile and hit a plastic knife that someone had dropped. Went down face first. Kid went into hysterics, mom went into hysterics.
Some people shouldn't breed.

Dude. I'd pay to see them try and make it.
It's that or if (when it happens actually) they have to stop the show for a moment, bring the kids in and let them try to do some jump over the ramps.
They'd never make it but it'd be funny.

I have been suggesting that for months but to no avail. But hey Remote Controlled Cars have made it over the ramps, why not a kid in heelies. Or as i like to call them HELLIES

Hence,the blank stare. We're not talking about someone who needs a wheelchair. They are sure taking the 'prevent' out of loss prevention. :(

Wait until some kid knocks down an old lady and she breaks a hip, then instead of suing the kid's parents for being stupid, she'll sue Disney. They'll settle, and after a few of these they might actually start enforcing the rules.
