Amusement Park Rejects Advocates’ Plea To Stop Negative Portrayals
(Sandusky Register)
October 21, 2010
SANDUSKY, OHIO– [Excerpt] Call ’em crazy, but Cedar Point won’t alter or remove any of its attractions, despite a request from mental health advocates to do so.
A Cedar Point spokesman said “changes are not required.”
On Thursday, the National Alliance on Mental Illness asked the amusement park to immediately remove two offerings focusing on fictional mental health patients: Dr. D. Mented’s Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and The Edge of Madness: Still Crazy.
One is a haunted house, the other is a separate show.
The attractions promote the false stereotype that the public should fear mental health patients, the alliance said.

I wish I was surprised.
Jeez, the stereotypes of people with disabilities that get thrown around. We may be crazy, but the vast majority of us aren’t harmful, just…different.
