If other venues can lend an electric scooter for free then so can this US based company. If they want to set up shop in Canada they should follow Canada’s customs. And don’t call it a deposit if you have no intention of returning it. It’s a fee. Period.
But if you have a physical disability where you require a wheelchair would you not already have one I don't understand the problem why one was required in the first place if you already require one. Unless perhaps you prefer a powered chair versus what you already have and then there is a cost involved as that sort of unit is expensive
Can't speak for this guy, but I can hobble around on a cane well enough for most things, but in a place even half the size of Wonderland I'd need a chair. The expense of an electric chair, plus the huge hassle of transporting it, makes it not worth having especially when most larger places have ones available. Only difference here is I don't whine to the media when I have to pay a fee to use one; that's the tradeoff for not having to pay for my own and having to cart it around all the time.
@@kentonkruger8333 and if your kids got seasons passes I guess you would be ok not going with them each time because it's $50 a day. You could just wait in the car in the parking lot you paid $25 to park in.
It’s for a motorized wheelchair or scooter, and I suppose most people who need wheelchairs can’t afford the added expense on top of their current chair. Besides, there’s the logistical problem of transporting that extra, motorized wheelchair in a specially equipped vehicle to your destination.
He might not need such a chair day to day but when going to an amusement park he does. When I was a kid we had to rent a wheelchair at Disney world for my Mom.
@@jusabus6586 Public transport. Never heard of it? Someone else feels entitled too. 😆 Thankfully your entitlement means squat. If his kids can afford a seasons pass, they can also afford transit passes.
Okay this guy is a joke….. I am literally to big for the rides I can not go on them as I am 6’10. I pay full price. They are extremely helpful to my son with his Disability. You want a power scooter go buy one. We really need to stop asking for hand out!! Someone had to pay for them why do you think they should be free to you???????
Yes! Equality is what we need. Sam will now undergo surgery to paralyze him from the waist down so he can be equal with the guy in the story. Way to go, Sam. You’re a beacon of light for equality in this province.
Do you think that Canada's Wonderland received those electric wheelchairs for free? Do you think that when they require repairs that those repairs are done for free?
Do you think that the budget just can't handle all these disabled people coming to the park and abusing electric mobility scooters? This place is a license to print money for an American corporation and you take thier side against disabled people. NWO indeed.
Do you think Wonderland paid 45 dollars for a six pack of chicken nuggets and a large soda and then passed those savings onto you by only charging a measly 46 dollars for nugs and suds? They already rob you blind at amusement parks
And you think a few wheelchair repairs are going to break Canada's Wonderlands bank? These guys take in millions in profits ($301 million) and still supported by their parent American company! C'mon with the silly comments.
@@Lepenseur73 Sure, Canada's Wonderland is expensive but if you're expecting a handout because of that, I don't see the correlation. Why stop there though? Why not demand more complimentary things and services like free souvenirs and free parking?
It costs money to buy the item, to keep it serviced, to charge it. And take a look at 1:05, you've got a older child riding on the side of the scooter, if that tipped over do you think they'd accept it was their own fault or try to sue Wonderland?
@@TheRealCartman1 but they also save a ton of money by charging disabled folks to access the park but don't provide them with any of the services given their disability. At the same time, this argument could be used for businesses not wanting to install ramps or disabled parking spots for those who want a chance at living life normally. I think they can afford it!
Yeah I was going to mention in my comment about another place that charges to use their chairs, but changed my mind. Let CityNews at least go through the work of finding it themselves to try and create another news story out of nothing.
@@jusabus6586 Jesus you love to parade your ignorance around. Are you just as upset that Federal and Provincial buildings don't have fleets of scooters and chairs too, when they're accessible? Your entitlement's showing.
You obviously don't comprehend the word accessible if you think it includes a free chair. Government buildings are all accessible, where are they hiding their fleets of scooters and chairs? That's right, they don't offer them.
So much is missing from this story. Why didn't he bring his own wheelchair? What was his plan if he got to Wonderland and all the chairs had been taken already? Could that paraplegic man safely use the rides or be evacuated safely in the event of an emergency?
Sometimes people have disabilities that don't require wheelchairs however they're still limited to how far they can walk and how long they can adore walking. I can walk around in my house and I can even walk from one class to another class although it does cause me pain. But if I have to go grocery shopping or if I'm going to some sort of outside fair or anything that requires an enormous amount of walking I require a scooter. Unfortunately as a disabled woman I can't afford a scooter because it's not paid for and I don't make very much money so I rely on the big companies to provide scooters and make places accessible. This is done all over Canada at least and even I believe in the states.
Also I want to say he wouldn't be on rides that he had to be helped off of if something happened at the park; we're not allowed on them in the first place. and if he got hurt there what's the difference between him and somebody else getting hurt. Your reasoning is just ignorance of what it's like to be disabled. And the problem is is there's too many ignorant people that have no idea what it's like to be disabled what they require they just see somebody in a wheelchair in the automatically assume that everything is what they typically think it is like the guy I can't walk or the guys mentally ill or whatever. All this aggression against somebody that should have this as a right. and if our country wanted us to pay for all of these things on our own then they should Supply us with the means to do it. We're at the mercy of governments that don't think helping us is important. But let me tell you something I've worked from the time I was 15 years old and I didn't become disabled until I was in my early 40s. I paid my taxes I paid my dues I don't have children that go to school and I paid taxes for everyone else's kids to go to school. We're not like anybody else but we're not so different that we can't be treated with some respect and some normalcy.
@@pattiimcmath5885 This isn't a need, like groceries etc. An amusement park is a luxury and it's not their responsibility to provide transportation around the park. If you can afford to go to the park, you can afford to pay to help them with the maintenance cost for whatever chair you choose. What's next? Can only afford the base chair, but don't have anyone to push you around or not strong/coordinated enough to do it yourself, they should have park employees push you around for free? That is entitlement. And I'm a disabled navy vet (double spinal injury, L5 and C4/5). Never expected a handout, because if you want something bad enough you save until you make it happen (even if that means you put $1+/- away a month until you can afford it). Personal responsibility, it's a thing that your parents obviously didn't instill in you.
If someone is not able to go on the rides then they should not be charged to get in , all they are able to do is possibly play the games and they have to pay each time they play .
If they let anyone claiming a disability in for free it would be abused. If you ever take a flight to Florida in October or November watch how many seniors need wheelchairs to get on the flight but walk off just fine, they are not disabled at all, they are just abusing the system for priority boarding.
@@jusabus6586 Then every attraction and amenity in the park will needs extra worker to insure no one gets a free lunch. Then that will create unnecessary choking points throughout the park. Then the cost of tickets will increase due to the increase hired staff.
would you not look up their policy before going to the park? often they put fees on because so many people who don’t require a chair rent one because they cant be bothered to walk or kids who think its fun so it limits people renting the chairs making it easier for those who need it to get
Just greed. They have a long track record of not being accessible to people with disabilities compared to parks in the US.They use to have a reduced ticket for pregnant woman but not anymore.
This one is iffy for me. Cuz the last time I went to wonderland I did my research before going because my friend had a broken leg so I needed to see if there would be any problems. Long story short do your homework to so how friendly businesses are to disabilities.
The only person responsible for his poor planning and his failure to think ahead is himself. He thought that just because he could get a wheelchair free of charge at other places that it would be exact same everywhere he goes. Proof that he's not quite as intelligent as he thinks he is and he's just airing his story in hopes that people will side with him.
I wonder what proof of intelligence or lack thereof would it show for someone or something to put the time in to scold a disabled person who is advocating for himself and other disabled people at 3 in the morning. (Edit: Added "something")
@@jusabus6586 okay so I'll admit that my comment comes across like I'm scolding him and I don't mean to scold the guy. Good for him for doing what he felt was right and advocating for himself but there's no excuse at all for his failure to think ahead and his poor planning. That's entirely on him. I knew that there was a possibility that my opinion would be a controversial one and others would have something to say in response to it. At the end of the day it is what it is. How I feel about it is how I feel. I respect other people's thoughts and opinions and others should respect mine
I think the issue is not a one time fee but planning to bring $50 everytime he wants to use his season pass? It costs $25 to park $7 for a fountain drink it's not that they can't afford it. It's that they did not account for disabled season pass holders. I bet they adjust the price for people with season pass after this. All thanks to this guy bringing it up. No thanks to your feelings on the subject. I'm sorry I cannot respect your opinion when you side with evil.
@@jusabus6586 Agreed. Your right. My Question is if he has a physical disability that requires him to have a wheelchair why doesn't he already have one? My best guess would be the expense of having it and the hassle of having to transport it makes it not worth having
Yeah the dude is contributing to the economy more than those losers already. Next they're gonna blame car-jacking victims for not locking their doors. This is Canada and not a 3rd world ........as President Trump calls it.
Ignorance, but can't point out anything that equates to lack of education in a single comment? You just like hearing yourself blather on. Empathy is understanding what other people deal with and has nothing to do with entitlement.
Of course you would pay, it is an extra service that costs money to provide it to customers who want or need it. It is the way of life, nothing is free we work in order to gain the things we need and/or want.
Maybe men should start charging women every time they arrive with a corsage or a bouquet of flowers for a date. Nothing is free, after all. This is the way of life
@@62Cristoforo Even relationships can have very heavy costs but not necessarily monetary. It is a choice whether you woo the women that is good for you or not. Many men do not bring flowers or gifts but do bring pain to there partners. Of course it does work both ways. Many women can bring pain to a man. If she is a women that is good for you then it may be in your best interest to woo her. Every choice that you make that is not good for you can be expensive. If this person needed a wheel chair they would have one.
Cry me a river is this the kind of problems we face in the west? Airport and government don't offer electric wheelchairs only manual ones. Ask government to buy you electric one instead.
I knew a girl had her legs removed ..Waited years to be given an electric wheelchair..she had to live with a manual one..wasnt strong enough to push it with her tiny skinny arms..so was stuck in an apt for years..Kindness and compassion matters! Our planet ,its people,suffer needlessly because of no empathy towards others..a multi million dollar park can afford to loan out mobility devices for free..Walmart can do it..so can Canada's Wonderland ! All family members should be able to enjoy a day at the park .even those less fortunate. Sending love and blessings to you.✌🏼❤️👍🏼
America’s Canada’s Wonderland (it’s a US company, after all) will suffer losses here not in losing the $50 mandatory and unforgivable scooter deposit, but in negative PR, even though this story hasn’t been allowed out until now, after the park has closed for the season. There’s no such thing as a non-refundable deposit. It’s like calling something ‘mandatory volunteering’
😆 It's not going to affect ticket sales next year. If you haven't noticed, the majority of humans have the attention span of a gnat (probably worse post-COVID). Even you'll have forgotten about it in a few days to a week. And I bet you don't send a single email to local and provincial government officials or the US company that runs it. Far too much effort for something that doesn't affect you. But that righteous indignation is effective on youtube. 🤣
This is not new or hidden, they mention it on their website. They do have extra costs in providing the chair. To this activist David guy, this is not a "tax", stop trying to play with words like that.
Are there not costs to operate the rollercoasters and maintain them? What about the liability insurance they have to carry for those rides? And yet they bear those costs as a cost of doing business. Frankly they need to stop being cheap and comply with the law!
@@j2simpso They do not have to provide free chairs, they are complying with the law. Gibs me free stuff! I have a gluten allergy so all food vendors need to give me free fruits!
If someone is disabled..please give them a break..Life is hard enough for able bodied,..A little kindness and some respect goes a long way ,and never hurts anyone ✌🏼 ❤️🙏🏼👍🏼
Save your projections. I'm disabled and I can either bring what I own for mobility or pay their fee. Not everyone feels entitled, disabled or not, and that is the issue. Entitlement. Your life, and you're responsible for every decision you make, including going to an amusement park/fair (a luxury, not a need).
Wow, really. My heart is broken right now because people with disabilities usually have higher price tags on their medical care and someone’s going to charge them more.. make this make sense please.. Cancel anyone who does this
Canada's wonderland is the worst. Any negative publicity will never be as much as it deserves. Owned by a faceless American company. Theo Bosch is a horrible person that works there. He will not care about you if your daughter is injured in the park and received no help due to poor policy that he is responsible for. No he would just like the names of the employees you interacted with so he could power trip the blame to someone else. This is not surprising to anyone who has lived in Toronto for any amount of time. They rely on new customers as the experience of going here once will ensure it will be the only time that decade.
America’s Wonderland calls itself Canada Wonderland when they open up shop here. This always makes me laugh whenever I see it, driving by on the highway. What liars. And people fall for it.
Its sad,it should not be that way.. Hopefully they will see the light and offer free use of mobility devices..And show compassion and caring..lm sorry to hear you had a bad experience there, and your child was injured.. Love,and blessings to you and yours✌🏼❤️🙏🏼👍🏼
1) Why does Walmart have mobility scooters if everyone who needs one should already have one ? 2 Canada's Wonderland is a faceless American corporation that practically prints money while using cheap unskilled unfit labor. Have you been? Do you know what a fountain drink costs there? No outside water bottles aloud. It's a horrible place run by horrible people. Any bad publicity they get will never be enough as they deserve.
@@jusabus6586 1) the obese customers are their most valuable customers. 2) People are not force to enter the park, people are not force to stay, and people are not force to return.
Because he walks with a cane and Wonderland is nothing but a day of walking for him since he can't go on the rides. While he would probably happily pay $50 for one visit, his kids have a season pass and that is $50 per visit for season pass holders who cannot go on rides or waterslides. Sounds like a great value.
He likely does..but no vehicle that can accommodate a mobility scooter..you go to Walmart.. they provide them..disabled are poor..most cant work and live on a fixed, low income of under $2,000 per month..life is difficult enough for an able bodied person..An organization such as this should encourage all to come and enjoy time there with their loved ones. They can afford to loan out mobility scooters for free..most disabled cant even get on the park rides because of their disabilities.yet they pay admission ..Kindness costs nothing . Remember that is please!! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼👍🏼
Its wonderland..supposed to be a family place..where all people can go and enjoy themselves.. including the disabled and less fortunate..lets include everyone and hope that a multi million park can show some compassion and loan out mobility devices to those that need them!! Kindness and compassion really is important in this day and age!! We can all raise the earth's vibration!!✌🏼❤️🙏🏼👍🏼
It's Canada many people don't have common sense.. government has no common sense because employees have no common sense.. FUNTIMES 🇨🇦👍. STRONGLY AGREE WITH HIM THESE NUT BARS DON'T KNOW HOW TO LIVE OFF LESS THAN TWO THOUSAND A MONTH.. KARMA COMES TO US ALL. BLESSINGS 🙏.
Of Canada's wonderland I love fainting on the robot coasters it makes so much and ease and better in the roller coaster close my eyes and just pass so and just passing over don't be complaining bro what do you expect from Canada's wonderland they gotta make money somehow it's like the fruits outrageous the price and you're complaining about $50 of a wheelchair electric
This is not the Canada I grew up in where we strove to fight for what is right and treated those who had accessibility challenges with dignity and respect. Certainly not the country of the Underground Railroad or Terry Fox. That's for sure!
And when this comes to the news there's it's not breaking news it's like you're trying to get literally more than $50 back from Canada's wonderland it didn't come with the season pass you didn't get a wheelchair all right you got the seasons pass for free 3 all right and then you expect a free wheelchair electric oh Kayla's wonderland they gotta make money like are you having a front canada
Delete a 4 hour drive for me to go to Canada's wonderland and I don't complain about the price for the ticket I don't complain about the price of the food or a bottle of water I don't complain why but I complain when I'm having fun and when you go there I just couldn't get a wheelchair for Britain and I had to pay $50 it's it's not there OK

@@62Cristoforo Even relationships can have very heavy costs but not necessarily monetary. It is a choice whether you woo the women that is good for you or not. Many men do not bring flowers or gifts but do bring pain to there partners. Of course it does work both ways. Many women can bring pain to a man. If she is a women that is good for you then it may be in your best interest to woo her. Every choice that you make that is not good for you can be expensive. If this person needed a wheel chair they would have one.
Cry me a river is this the kind of problems we face in the west? Airport and government don't offer electric wheelchairs only manual ones. Ask government to buy you electric one instead.
I knew a girl had her legs removed ..Waited years to be given an electric wheelchair..she had to live with a manual one..wasnt strong enough to push it with her tiny skinny arms..so was stuck in an apt for years..Kindness and compassion matters! Our planet ,its people,suffer needlessly because of no empathy towards others..a multi million dollar park can afford to loan out mobility devices for free..Walmart can do it..so can Canada's Wonderland ! All family members should be able to enjoy a day at the park .even those less fortunate. Sending love and blessings to you.✌🏼❤️👍🏼
America’s Canada’s Wonderland (it’s a US company, after all) will suffer losses here not in losing the $50 mandatory and unforgivable scooter deposit, but in negative PR, even though this story hasn’t been allowed out until now, after the park has closed for the season.
There’s no such thing as a non-refundable deposit. It’s like calling something ‘mandatory volunteering’
😆 It's not going to affect ticket sales next year. If you haven't noticed, the majority of humans have the attention span of a gnat (probably worse post-COVID). Even you'll have forgotten about it in a few days to a week. And I bet you don't send a single email to local and provincial government officials or the US company that runs it. Far too much effort for something that doesn't affect you. But that righteous indignation is effective on youtube. 🤣
This is not new or hidden, they mention it on their website. They do have extra costs in providing the chair. To this activist David guy, this is not a "tax", stop trying to play with words like that.
Siding with a multimillion dollar corporation worried about extra costs of accomodating disabled customers. Must be a clown.
Are there not costs to operate the rollercoasters and maintain them? What about the liability insurance they have to carry for those rides? And yet they bear those costs as a cost of doing business. Frankly they need to stop being cheap and comply with the law!
@@j2simpso They do not have to provide free chairs, they are complying with the law. Gibs me free stuff! I have a gluten allergy so all food vendors need to give me free fruits!
Is it free if you have a fastpass?
He was abusing it so he could get on the rides faster. There are those who do genuinely use it, but he doesn't sound like one of them
Wow you are so ignorant. Tell me what sounds disabled to you?🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
He cannot ride the rides with his disability.
@@jusabus6586 Then what's he complaining about?
If someone is disabled..please give them a break..Life is hard enough for able bodied,..A little kindness and some respect goes a long way ,and never hurts anyone ✌🏼 ❤️🙏🏼👍🏼
Save your projections. I'm disabled and I can either bring what I own for mobility or pay their fee. Not everyone feels entitled, disabled or not, and that is the issue. Entitlement. Your life, and you're responsible for every decision you make, including going to an amusement park/fair (a luxury, not a need).
Hamilton 🙄
We need more amusement parks in Canada on par with the U.S.
Canada’s wonderland IS a US company
No...we don't. Feel free to move south.
Canada's wonderland is boaring I went once and didn't care for it rather go to a zoo ....
Wow, really. My heart is broken right now because people with disabilities usually have higher price tags on their medical care and someone’s going to charge them more.. make this make sense please.. Cancel anyone who does this
Canada's wonderland is the worst. Any negative publicity will never be as much as it deserves. Owned by a faceless American company. Theo Bosch is a horrible person that works there. He will not care about you if your daughter is injured in the park and received no help due to poor policy that he is responsible for. No he would just like the names of the employees you interacted with so he could power trip the blame to someone else. This is not surprising to anyone who has lived in Toronto for any amount of time. They rely on new customers as the experience of going here once will ensure it will be the only time that decade.
America’s Wonderland calls itself Canada Wonderland when they open up shop here. This always makes me laugh whenever I see it, driving by on the highway. What liars. And people fall for it.
Its sad,it should not be that way.. Hopefully they will see the light and offer free use of mobility devices..And show compassion and caring..lm sorry to hear you had a bad experience there, and your child was injured.. Love,and blessings to you and yours✌🏼❤️🙏🏼👍🏼
You'd think that Paramount, a media company in many ways similar to Disney would know how to operate a park, but apparently not!
I mean it’s an extra luxury. Trade out your wheel chair for an electric one to save you energy for a price. Common sense
Hey we are all equal! If he had a disability that required a W/C then 1) where was his and 2) how did he get there without one
1) Why does Walmart have mobility scooters if everyone who needs one should already have one ? 2 Canada's Wonderland is a faceless American corporation that practically prints money while using cheap unskilled unfit labor. Have you been? Do you know what a fountain drink costs there? No outside water bottles aloud. It's a horrible place run by horrible people. Any bad publicity they get will never be enough as they deserve.
@@jusabus6586 1) the obese customers are their most valuable customers. 2) People are not force to enter the park, people are not force to stay, and people are not force to return.
Why doesn’t he own a wheelchair?
he probly too cheap ,
Because he walks with a cane and Wonderland is nothing but a day of walking for him since he can't go on the rides. While he would probably happily pay $50 for one visit, his kids have a season pass and that is $50 per visit for season pass holders who cannot go on rides or waterslides. Sounds like a great value.
He likely does..but no vehicle that can accommodate a mobility scooter..you go to Walmart.. they provide them..disabled are poor..most cant work and live on a fixed, low income of under $2,000 per month..life is difficult enough for an able bodied person..An organization such as this should encourage all to come and enjoy time there with their loved ones. They can afford to loan out mobility scooters for free..most disabled cant even get on the park rides because of their disabilities.yet they pay admission ..Kindness costs nothing . Remember that is please!! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼👍🏼
@@lynnevogelsang4907 maybe they should just have wheel chair rides so ''all'' can enjoy and charge 50 dollars if you want to walk
Quite honestly that’s his problem. If he can’t walk long distances without needing a wheelchair, he should probably own one. It’s that simple.
$301 million in Revenue and they can't provide wheelchair access (free of charge) to those who need it. Embarassing. How un-Canadian!
Last I checked Paramount, who operates Wonderland is a US company
that's messed up ! They should return the deposit after the wheelchair is returned
Lol this is wonderland...not an airport
Yes, if it was an airport they should’ve damaged his wheelchair by now. This is amazing
Its wonderland..supposed to be a family place..where all people can go and enjoy themselves.. including the disabled and less fortunate..lets include everyone and hope that a multi million park can show some compassion and loan out mobility devices to those that need them!! Kindness and compassion really is important in this day and age!! We can all raise the earth's vibration!!✌🏼❤️🙏🏼👍🏼
You ever have ymto be a parent and pay to rent a stroller ridiculous should all be freeb
It's Canada many people don't have common sense.. government has no common sense because employees have no common sense.. FUNTIMES 🇨🇦👍. STRONGLY AGREE WITH HIM THESE NUT BARS DON'T KNOW HOW TO LIVE OFF LESS THAN TWO THOUSAND A MONTH.. KARMA COMES TO US ALL. BLESSINGS 🙏.
Of Canada's wonderland I love fainting on the robot coasters it makes so much and ease and better in the roller coaster close my eyes and just pass so and just passing over don't be complaining bro what do you expect from Canada's wonderland they gotta make money somehow it's like the fruits outrageous the price and you're complaining about $50 of a wheelchair electric
😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣
This is Canada, what do you expect? lol
This is not the Canada I grew up in where we strove to fight for what is right and treated those who had accessibility challenges with dignity and respect. Certainly not the country of the Underground Railroad or Terry Fox. That's for sure!
ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country. JFK
And when this comes to the news there's it's not breaking news it's like you're trying to get literally more than $50 back from Canada's wonderland it didn't come with the season pass you didn't get a wheelchair all right you got the seasons pass for free 3 all right and then you expect a free wheelchair electric oh Kayla's wonderland they gotta make money like are you having a front canada
Want to try again? You made absolutely no sense.
Delete a 4 hour drive for me to go to Canada's wonderland and I don't complain about the price for the ticket I don't complain about the price of the food or a bottle of water I don't complain why but I complain when I'm having fun and when you go there I just couldn't get a wheelchair for Britain and I had to pay $50 it's it's not there OK
