TIL Service Ponies are a thing and welcome at a CF Park near you

[King Ding Dong]

I kind of had to check my calendar to verify it wasn't April 1st.   As a city dweller I didn't know miniature ponies were legitimate service animals but they are and officially welcomed at all CF parks.

I  have on occasion seen service dogs at amusement parks but never a pony.   For those of you wondering, "A relief area is located adjacent to the restroom at Backlot Stunt Coaster."  Obviously service animals are not allowed on the attractions, but I just can't get the image of a little pony strapped into Banshee or Firehawk out of my head.  

It appears SIX is not as forward thinking as Cedar Fair in this regard.

Has anyone seen a service pony at an amusement park?

That is amazing. Good job Kings Island! 

I haven't seen a pony but anytime I've seen a guest who needs a special service they have been treated very well. 

Thanks King Ding Dong for that mental image.
