Recently, and this is the second time, I have been really bothered by the fact that I am required to pay an extra dollar per ride at Discovery Kingdom. I believe this is a particularly discriminatory practice against woman who will indeed be carrying a small bag of sorts with personal items such as a season pass for her family members, as well as hygienic items. I made very sure that the small back that was firmly attached to my body would not be loose or be able to fall off my body or empty in any kind of situation. The bag that I carried was not large enough to prevent any ride from safely being secured against my body. I understand that times are hard and making as much money as possible is important to every business, but I paid $12.99 for a reusable cup (that by the way I was told was dishwasher safe, but melted in my dishwasher) and paid an enormous amount of money on food and souvenirs, now I have to pay another dollar for each ride? Well, that isn’t the case is it, some rides you can leave your bag on the side for free. Why the punishment to women, who I am sure are the largest purchasers of Season Passes? I have spoken with several woman and they are very upset by this practice.
