These are older stories, but I just found out about this place. Here is a 2nd article: https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/experience/theme-parks/2024/05/12/morgans-wonderland-theme-park-accessibility/73660563007/
I also just read that they're planning a hotel geared towards families with disabilities
A one-of-a-kind theme park that’s fully accessible to people with disabilities is back to life complete with new rides and attractions after undergoing a multi-million dollar expansion.
Morgan’s Wonderland, an inclusive theme park in San Antonio, recently reopened after four months of improvements and upgrades.
Following the $6.5 million overhaul, the park now offers a first-of-its-kind 4-seat zip line that can accommodate riders in wheelchairs as well as those who need extra restraints, respiratory equipment or other special gear. Another new offering is the wheelchair-accessible Jette’s Wonder Bikes which features glider-style cars that riders can make go up and down using pedals or hand cranks. There is also a lake cruise and a 4D cinema that offers riders in wheelchairs a roller-coaster experience using a video screen with motion effects.

What an amazing movement they’ve started. I love when someone’s passion infects others in a positive way to help others. And the ticket prices are actually super reasonable. Love that they make it free for those with disabilities. Outstanding.

So... If most of the people are disabled, the able lines must be really short wait times, right? Is that how it works?

ravhall didn’t even imply that the girl with wings wasn’t disabled, in fact they assumed she is disabled but wondered what her challenge specifically is. That doesn’t seem to rate a snarky reply, imo.

I've been here before! She is based on Morgan, the owners' intellectually disabled daughter

Maybe she’s transgender. That’s a disability in Texas.

She has wings.
