This is the first time i ever heard of this. They were sued because they wouldn't let black people ice skate (I didn't know black people ice skate )

50 years ago, yesterday

that tends to happen when you dont allow them to get on the ice for a few generations.

I think they got into shite years later for having all of the black people get off the roller coaster so they could film their commercial

That Wild Mouse was a wooden piece of shite.

And I believe the cigarette smoking monkey is still alive and at Dixie Landing.
