When I was living in California I went to quite a few amusement
parks, including a venture or three where all going were blind.  We
were never denied access to the rides, though our dogs were.
<Grin>  Somehow I don't think the dogs objected.

But seriously, there is no reason to deny blind patrons access to
the rides.  Most rides are simple to use and quite fun (if you're
just a little weird).  I hope things get resolved, because I hate
to see blind people (or anyone else, for that matter) denied access
to something for no good reason.

Go to one of the parks you haven't been to in awhile (or better yet, one
you and your friends have never been to) and get your friends to ride
the rides blindfolded.  Then they may understand the added enjoyment of
the ride.  That's what I did, andit became quite fashionable.  But then
I had crazy friends.

Just a thought!
