Lisa Morrison, of Fife, endured an ordeal while at Thorpe Park with her son.
A Scottish burns survivor claims she was thrown off a children's ride at Thorpe Park - because she has no hands. Lisa Morrison, from Fife , had a double hand amputation after being burned as a child.
Lisa claims they did manage to go on the teacup ride without any issues despite being told this is a ride she wouldn't be able to go on. On the Thorpe Park website, the Flying Fish is advertised as a family-friendly attraction, which states riders must have full upper body strength including head and neck control to ride.

People were staring and getting angry as they had all been waiting in the queue for a long time and it was another hold up.
"The wording is arm, which in my opinion I don't have any arm amputations, only hands and fingers. I'd never go back to Thorpe Park as it was all handled so badly. "Their rules don't say anything about someone missing a hand. It's only about missing arms below the elbow. Someone missing their whole arm would be able to do a lot less than what I can do.
Two days before her Thorpe Park visit, Lisa says she visited Alton Towers theme park in Staffordshire, which is owned by the same company, Merlin Entertainment. "My six-year-old could have gone on the Flying Fish ride himself if he wanted to. The Runaway Train ride at Alton Towers and the Flying Fish ride at Thorpe Park are both the same manufacturers and I was allowed on the first one but not the second.
