Disabled teenager refused entry to rides Blackpool Pleasure beach

A Burnley teenager with cerebral palsy is leading a fight to ensure disabled people can enjoy funfair rides – after being turned away at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Blessed Trinity student Nicky Shepherd (15) was so upset at his treatment he has started a petition so other disabled people will not suffer the same humiliation.
The Year 10 student, who has been in a wheelchair all his life, went on a school trip in July to the Pleasure Beach.
However, despite going on the same rides the year before, when he got to the front of the queue he was turned away from rides such as the Big One, Avalanche and Infusion.
