At amusement parks with various rides, especially roller coasters, they often have a height requirement.

You know, the "You must be at least this tall --------> To enjoy this ride" signs.

I then think if little people are denied access to such rides.
Often, children just have to wait until they get older and "grow up". However, little people may never reach that minimum height.

It does appear to be a safety issue most of the time, but that is where being a little person definitely prevents full enjoyment.
