I live in Dallas, and I have 2 handicapped kids. Even though Dallas is very accessible, there are so many places my kids cannot enjoy. I'mwatching this segment with tear in my eyes. There have been so many times when i have a hard time lifting my kid, or i have to walk away because the place doesn't have wheelchair accessible games. This park even has special chairs!!! How thoughtful!! I haven't taken a vacation in like 6 years! Im definitely taking one this year to take my kids to this park!! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤❤
And they just opened up a ton of new stuff since I created this video
Have fun!!! It seems like an amazing wonderland!
I am a retired special education teacher. All my students were the most severely disabled. If I were still teaching I would ask my district to allow us to take my students (from arkansas) to this great place. If the band students can go to Disney World. Than the special ed kids should be able to go to this place!
That's something I would donate to. I was a TA in every grade until after high school and I hated the way special Ed kids were given almost NO consideration as far as trips and extras. They were hidden from the main student body and only given the chance to learn to service and labor.
I was always trying to advocate to get them trips to accessible things but as I was a "bad kid" I wasn't taken seriously...
I love your comment by the way I am also from Arkansas and my nephew has down syndrome. I would love to take him.
My mom is the manager at Morgan’s Wonderland They are making a movie about Morgan
That’s great
Omg that’s amazing. She has inspired such an amazing place for so many kids and adults with disabilities. This is such a beautiful story. I hope the movie fully gets made and I can watch it. I’m obsessed with this dad and his daughter, such a beautiful family
I almost cried from how beautiful this place is, amazing. I hope it stays open
While I understand a lot of these are for younger people, it's so incredibly important for even the most accessible park, to have fat-accessibility to them. Some parents of kids especially if they're disabled, who want or even need to ride with them, need the ability to fit on them if they are bigger, while even those this park is aimed at, may also be big. And the constant shade is a HUGE thing that yeah every park absolutely needs. Especially here in San Antonio, it gets hotter than an industrial oven. And when you're handling people with disabilities and other medical conditions, heat exhaustion can be a serious problem. I personally don't think I will drop by this park (though the fishing is super cool), but there definitely needs to be more parks like this across the globe.
This was a great watch, thank you!!
Maybe they’ll open another one 🙃
Sorry not sorry. it’s seriously so selfish and entitled to complain about a park not being accessible to obese people. They literally have made this park inclusive for soooo many fucking types of disabilities and illnesses. That’s what it’s really about. You understand that those are things that people didn’t ask for? And can not ever change???
if you got kids disabled and wanna take them here, but you’re obese, you should be losing weight anyways because of the fact that an obese parent cannot live long enough, or do enough to care for a disabled child. Especially not one that is going to be disabled for life. So IF that was anyone’s scenario, they would need to stop being entitled and selfish, and lose the weight so they can care for their child. And yes it is a disease to be obese, but that is one that can be changed!! Stop tryna hate on this park over YOUR issue. That’s so insane for real. Also why would anyone intolerant to the heat go to a park like this anyways ?? It’s literally in Texas. Maybe it’s open more times of the year than just summer? Even if it’s not, as someone intolerant to the heat due to health issues, I wouldn’t go, and if I did, I don’t complain about shit. The world is hot. I’d be able to take things myself to keep myself cool.
As much as I visit my parents in San Antonio I know about this place but never been. My nephew is has severe autism and now planning to take him there. I live in Austin TX myself so not to far from where I live.
Seeing you with the swings just made me happy, super awesome video!!! And i’m not even done watching yet XD
6:25 lmao!! That is so true. My dad would be the same way haha. I love it though. He’s keeping her memory there no matter what. Whether she’s there or not! I love him for this. The best dad ever
we need more places like this in the world
We need more parks like this.
Wowwwww what an awesome theme park, they have thought of everything, love it
I use to go there with my cousin and my family also I use to live in San Antonio and I use to love to that park as a kid
I hear it is getting an expansion.
Totally agree that Disney should help support this park too ..and also make improvements with Disneyland itself ....
i live in Austin and my multi-able family loves to visit this park! Its wonderful!
So cool!
Is it always that empty? It made me fell sad there where not many people.
@@yunssss it was extremely hot and I don’t know if you noticed, but the waterpark was much busier but yes, I would love to see it much more full myself
Now that is what an amusement park should be
We have a special needs daughter and wish we were closer (Pa) to enjoy the park. If we ever get our 8 figure settlement from her injury I will be having something like this built in Pa.
This is awesome!
This is absolutely amazing i love the fact they have this i never ever thought they wpuld have such amazing places like this
Thank you for this video bc I really wanna go
Gracias por mostrarme un lugar tan maravilloso 💖
You may want to keep in mind that some of their visitors may be autistic so keeping their rides simple may be better for autistic children
The butterfly bench is so creative I love it 🥰
Well done! Thank You
Wow! I didn’t know this place existed! Its been years since I've been back to Texas, I ised to live south of Houston. I have three kids now, my youngest has special needs. I'll have to take a trip and bring the kids there someday.
Most definitely!! Your kid would probably be so excited, might even make friends with kids who understand their experience
Good job 👌 brother
Hi!!! It doesn't look very packed, what day of the week did you go?!!
he went on a monday!
Would you suggest extra seat if you are traveling with 3 guest one being a small child
If you were referring to flying, I would check out my flying while fat video
I’m glad you could go on the riverboat ride cause that looks fun
They should have some water coming down from where they had the mist. But I’m assuming it’s so that it’s more inclusive for those who either can’t get wet, or hate getting wet and it triggers them
I literally love this so much. I’d love for GA to have something like this… maybe this is my next big investment?
Thank you for "fat testing".
Not many realize that weight issues effect disabled people for many reasons.
I had a friend in high school who had cancer and was on steroids causing him to gain a large amount of weight.
Steroids also caused weight gain with my son's 13 year old half brother. He has Duchennes muscular dystrophy and is wheelchair bound... breaks my heart that he has to to through that.
Being fat is not always a life style choice, especially when it comes to physical illness and disability.
Since you've no way of knowing a person's story, just try being kind to everyone!!!
I Love That Park
I think its beautiful and well thought but it saddens me that its empty..i hope it will get more support ❤
Come do a revisit they put some new stuff in
I wanna go, im a big girl, with ocial anxiety, ptsd, an I think I would feel comfortable there
Probably! Just don’t expect to get in for free, and don’t expect to be able to do everything there. I really wanna go too! I have disabilities and I would just love to see so many other people enjoying themselves and comfortable.
And here i was" thinking"of getting a Toyota based on reliability only.
Got 2 points toyota. Errhhh im getting a Hilux
And they are taking away the off road aventure
Yeah, I was told that they are doing a massive remodel.
Did you really have a friend with no arms/legs that was supposed to go?
Yes, his name is Edgar. if you check out some of my really old videos of San Antonio SeaWorld, he’s in them
I don’t agree, I understand weight is an issue but at what cost should everywhere have to accommodate for size? The extra cost of making things at a larger scale etc, he has already made an accessible park for young people, it’s mainly for people with disability, being overweight isn’t a disability because it can be improved regardless of thyroid condition, this kind of park isn’t made with over weight adults in mind 🤷♀️ watch the documentary. His daughter is well over 6 foot tall so height isn’t an issue 👀
It’s an ACCESSIBLE park. It’s supposed to accommodate everybody.
A lot of people with disabilities have weight issues. Steroids is a common treatment for many things like cancer and muscular dystrophy and weight gain is a side effect.
Weight can be changed. Disabilities can not.
@@AlmanatrixI don’t think I’ve heard of any medications causing obesity?? It may be a factor of them being obese or overweight though. But it’s still a thing where you can lose weight. Anyone can lose weight
Not a joke
?
Fat testing WTF 😂
Who gave grandpa an iPhone
Many people that are physically disabled have weight issues for different reasons like medication side effects, hormone/brain dysfunction or lack of mobility/ depression.
My son's half brother is just a little boy that will die from Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy. He takes steroids to slow the disease progression but they've caused him massive weight gain.
I had friend that had cancer and also gained large amount of weight due to steroids.
One of the little girls I used to care for had a brain injury that caused her to gain more weight than an obese adult
@@Almanatrixyou can’t gain weight without eating. Fluid retention is different than obesity. But you cannot gain fat to be obese without eating the calories, and not burning enough calories. While yes, us who are disabled can struggle with weight, it’s still a personal issue that CAN be changed. Disabilities cannot be changed. Therefore if someone obese wants to go, they should make a goal of losing weight. I’m sure an obese child can do tons at this park. But a parent should do more for their child than allowing them to be obese, as well as having to deal with disability
Yeah the carousel is for children. God damnit make it stop.
? Are you OK? Are you having a stroke?
@@fattestedtravel stroke these nuts
@@codysuchomski6498can’t get anyone else to do that? (skill issue)
6:25 lmao!! That is so true. My dad would be the same way haha. I love it though. He’s keeping her memory there no matter what. Whether she’s there or not! I love him for this. The best dad ever
