A blind man has filed suit against Fair Promotions Inc. over claims that its website – www.AdventurersPark.com – is unlawfully incompatible with screen-reading software used by visually impaired internet users. The case says the defendant runs both Adventurer’s Park Family Entertainment Center in Brooklyn, New York and its corresponding website, on which users can access information about the park’s location and hours, rides, games, shops, group rates, events, and employment opportunities. The plaintiff says he attempted to buy park tickets online but was unable to complete the transaction due to various access barriers found on the site, including unreadable text content, lack of alternative text on graphics, lack of adequate prompting and labeling, lack of navigation links, and denial of keyboard access. As a result of these alleged obstacles, the suit claims blind individuals are hindered from enjoying “full and equal access” to the park’s goods and services.
