They also fined the company $21,500. In an inquiry report issued Thursday by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration and publicly released Friday, Disney World was cited for three serious violations, a repeat violation not fixed since an earlier inspection, and a paperwork violation relating to Primeval Whirl in Disney's Animal Kingdom.<< More at the link...

3	RoadTrip Sat 5/24/2008 9:30p	Or an executive lunch for a year. :-)
