Racism, qualifications, charters blah blah blah. If its a new ride they're going to get training from the ride manufacturer, they need to know how the thing goes together, safety checks, maintenance program. Have you any idea how much new rides actually cost?
They then show others how to do, that the equivalent of an apprenticeship.
FACT these rides are safer than Alton Towers, they are checked as they are set up, Alton Towers are checked once a year. For example... A bolt on a ride is wearing, on a travelling fair its spotted as its set up and replaced, at Alton towers it's not spotted for a year, that's if it's spotted at all. On a travelling fair people with years of experience are running these rides, or at the very least nearby. At Alton towers it's mostly seasonal jobs, they have little experience and little interest in the job they do, it's a job not a livelihood.

Criticising what just isn't true isn't going to fix the problems. Why don't you find out through the correct channels why you wasn't allowed in when you should have had access. A road closure is a legal thing, it's illegal to close or obstruct a road without authority to do so. The order should say when it starts and finishes.
