A Scottish burns survivor claims she was thrown off a children's ride at Thorpe Park - because she has no hands. Lisa Morrison, from Fife, had a double hand amputation after being burned as a child.She visited the resort in Surrey with her six-year-old son Brayden on Thursday July 18th as part of their seven-day holiday.
After queuing for an hour to get on the family friendly Flying Fish rollercoaster, the 33-year-old claims she was removed from her seat by a Thorpe Park manager when they spotted missing hands.She claims the park put it down to her having 'no upper body strength' to support her on the ride due to her missing fingers - but she claims it is 'discrimination'.
Lisa said she was then taken to an information desk at the park and given to a yellow wristband which labelled her as a double arm amputee despite only having amputations below the wrist.Due to this, the mum-of-one claims she was told she could only go on a few of the rides at Thorpe Park but was shocked to find the list included the UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster named Hyperia.
But as her son was too small to ride these attractions, the pair spent the day in the amusement park. Lisa claims they did manage to go on the teacup ride without any issues despite being told this is a ride she wouldn't be able to go on.
