Cedar Fair, LP Missouri Cases

Jose Lopez, who is blind, sued Cedar Fair, L.P., alleging disability discrimination in public accommodation under the Missouri Human Rights Act (MHRA) related to incidents at an amusement park's waterslide and bumper cars. The trial court entered judgment in favor of Cedar Fair after a jury trial, and Lopez appealed, raising eleven points of error concerning evidentiary rulings, jury instructions, closing arguments, and punitive damages. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no reversible error or prejudice in the challenged rulings, and declining to review unpreserved instructional errors.
