Alton Towers ends disability pass for ADHD and anxiety

What happened: Alton Towers operator Merlin Entertainments has stopped issuing disability passes to visitors with ADHD and anxiety, citing rising demand that made the system ineffective.

Why it matters:

  • Visitors with ADHD and anxiety may face longer wait times without the pass.
  • The change affects how theme parks accommodate guests with invisible disabilities.

MNN Take: The decision reflects challenges in managing accessibility services fairly amid growing demand, highlighting the need for new approaches to support visitors with diverse needs.
