“Distraught and extremely humiliated”

Twiggy

Available for over a year

An end-of-year trip to theme park Alton Towers turned into a day to forget for one 11-year-old. Amelia had bone cancer when she was younger. She now wears a special prosthetic after having her leg amputated. After queuing for hours to get on a ride, she says she was publicly taken off without any explanation. Alton Towers says it’s deeply sorry for the distress caused and hopes to offer her a positive experience in the near future. Amelia’s mum, Michelle, has been speaking to Twiggy.
