Disabled park visitors sue Disney World over segway ban

Three disabled people have sued Walt Disney World for not allowing them to use Segways inside the park. The plaintiffs are also requesting that the judge allow their lawsuit to continue as a class action suit.
A group called Disability Rights Advocates for Technology, which raises money to donate Segways to disabled U.S. military veterans and pushes for their acceptance, previously asked theme parks to lift bans on the devices. Group co-founder Jerry Karr said Segways offer more mobility and dignity than wheelchairs.
But Disney has said it fears Segways could endanger other guests because they can go faster than 12 mph.
