They really have a long way to go with being disability-friendly, particularly in the area of staff training. Also disappointed in the reduced number of wheelchair-rideable attractions. When I was first a season passholder over a decade ago, there were three rides I could go on in my wheelchair: Space Spiral, Paddle Boat Excursions, and the train. Now only the train remains and often I have to wait with my family three or more times as long as ambulatory visitors because the one accessible car (yes, totally back of the bus - only the caboose is accessible and often can only manage one wheelchair in there unless both wheelchairs are particularly maneuverable or one is a pediatric wheelchair). I have been disappointed over and over again by the lack of thought to options for wheelchair users (even transfer to ride seat is often unnecessarily poorly planned, clearly without training of any of the ride ops on how to advise patrons assisting with the particulars of their ride). On top of that, I have been treated disrespectfully by some of the front staff and felt singled out for harrassment as a wheelchair user in a costume today. There are some really wonderful staff, but today was over the top bad. They are also not handling the influx of crowds with their special deal on anniversary year gold season passes. Oh and they REALLY need more family bathrooms throughout the park for those of us who need an assistant of a different gender to help us in the restroom. The 4 new ones on Adventure Island are nice, but that isn't open during HalloWeekends.
