Joyce Wathes, from Tamworth, Staffs, had been looking forward to riding the white knuckle rides at Drayton Manor Theme Park with her great-grandchildren.

    Doesn’t strike me as unreasonable.

      Wouldn’t it actually be unreasonable to assume every person that ever rode that ride was capable of climbing down unaided …???
      Let the old babe ride…!!!

        Oh, you are probably right.

        But roller coasters and 90 year olds still strike me as a bad combination.
