The working conditions will be very manageable, because we will not give any worker a job that we feel they can't handle. We will make sure that everyone is happy and most of all safe because safety comes first. The hotel will operate 24/7 while the amusement park will only operate seasonally. Workers will have a minimum amount of days or hours that they are allowed to take off, but only that minimum and no more for this is a big business. We will have health benefits, and increases the longer you work. As for the disabled everything within the hotel and amusement park will be accessible to them.

When it come to the floors inside I would say that their is not much of a choice between three options,(tile,hardwood,or carpet. For the outside before you come into the store you will see a sidewalk. The side walk will not be made that you will have to step up all the way down off the street to stand or walk on the side walk, mainly becauce of customers with disabilities. The sidewalk will consist of small ramps, between one or three ect..., suitable for people with wheelchairs or any other form of disabilities so that they will make it up on the sidewalk saftely.

We will also have special bathrooms for the disabled as far as going in and coming out. We will treat our customers that are disabled as well as we treat everyone else becasue we want everyone to be happy.
LamarFleming : The Americans with Disiabilities can be referred to as the ADA, and the ADA ia a wide-ranging civil rights las, that prohibits, under certain circumstances, discrimination based on disability.
