2. This is insane on so many levels. Apparently, the park wasn’t designed with baby strollers in mind despite literally being a children’s theme park. Instead, parents are expected to leave their strollers by the entrance and carry their children everywhere. No one in a position of authority seems to think this is a problem, and the park management has no interest in changing the situation or expanding pathways or adding ramps. And they claim that no strollers is for safety purposes, when anyone with half a brain would tell you that carrying a child around for hours on end is obviously less safe than sitting them in a secure stroller.

   Even worse are the comments on the Yahoo News article. There are people saying the park isn’t intended for young children (seriously?) and that people should wait until their kids get bigger before going (because who has more than one kid of varying ages?). Every one of them completely missing the point.

   As a parent living not too far from this park and who was thinking of visiting, fuck that.

3. No pranks? If I can’t sneak up behind Totoro and pull his pants down I’m not going

4. Is there a rule that all adults must not walk but rather hop on one feet instead ?

   Because that makes about as much sense as banning strollers.

5. Fuck your kids.
