George Ramplin, forty three, instructed Chelmsford Crown Judge that the ride caused flashbacks to a fatal road accident he was involved in as a 10-year-old. Judge Laura Harris stated was prepared to take an exceptional decision and not send him to prison. Rather she imposed a six month community order having a six month curfew in between 7 pm and 7am and ordered Ramplin, of Harwich, to pay ?350 towards the Royal Mail's legal and investigation charges.
Judge Harris stated the post traumatic anxiety disorder supplied an explanation "for this fully irrational" behaviour, adding: "This can be a tragedy for you as well as your family."
The court had been told that Ramplin's ride on Thunder Mountain triggered a childhood memory of a fatal school minibus crash 30 years earlier and that it was this that led to him turning to stealing parcels. Ramplin survived the May 1978 accident near Harwich when he was just ten. Nonetheless, the court was told that seven children and one teacher died and he spent weeks in hospital getting to undergo a number of operations for significant head injuries.
However the court was told that memories of it flooded back throughout and right after the Thunder Mountain ride during a family members holiday last August and triggered post traumatic anxiety disorder in him.And therefore it had been claimed that above a 5 week period major up to final Christmas he stole parcels containing DVDs and computer games from Harwich delivery office.The court didn't hear no matter whether the household visited the Thunder Mountain roller coaster at Disneyland, Paris, Disneyland, California or Magic Kingdom in Florida. All 3 parks feature the ride.
Individuals like this are ridiculous and they're always trying to find other folks to blame for their actions. I really hope this guy gets fined or one thing due to the fact what he did is not only a waste of the courts time, nevertheless it is actually a waste of funds for the other side to defend. Blaming a ride at Disneyland for a thing like this really is absurd and I am not confident how he even got this towards the 1st stages of a lawsuit. If an individual like this can be permitted to sue for total nonsense then this opens up the program to all types of frivolous lawsuits.
Disney is in no way responsible for this and for him to blame Disney and Disneyland is actually a true shame. I think that this guy needs to be banned from all Disney parks from this point forward and he should never ever be permitted to set foot on Disney property again. This type of issue keeps prices up for your rest of us since all of those possible lawsuits are figured into Disney's ticket prices.
