Disneyland rides must be as safe as buses

Ernest sez, "Disneyland (and other thrill ride providers) have been fighting being forced to meet the same safety standards as buses and trains. Yesterday, the California Supreme Court ruled against them."

The 4-3 decision, which found that thrill rides could be classified as common carriers,' said operators must use 'the utmost care and diligence' for the safety of riders rather than mere 'reasonable care.'
