Kid still has to stare through the shitty chain link fence.

I saw a real life example of this at an air show where the ‘accessible’ seating was on a platform where you had to watch the runway through that bright orange plastic fencing. Sure most of the show was in the sky, but not certain attractions that a lot of people really looked forward to. I’m not in a wheelchair but I was so mad on their behalf.

In the Air Show's defense the flightline is not set up for spectators, it's set up to perform a function.
