Bridgeport Mother Claims Legoland Mascot Ignored Her Kids: Report

BRIDGEPORT, CT — After she said her child and a nephew, who are Black, were rudely ignored at the theme park, a Bridgeport mother has joined a $25 million class action lawsuit against Legoland in New York and Sesame Place in Pennsylvania, reported News 12 Connecticut.

The incident occurred in June at Legoland in Goshen, NY, Breana Ramsey claims, when her 2-year-old daughter and 4-year-old nephew were ignored by theme park mascots. After skipping over the two children, the mascots interacted with white children nearby, Ramsey says.

She has hired Stamford-based attorney Darnell Crosland to represent her; Patch reached out to Crosland for comment, but did not immediately receive a reply.

In July, a lawsuit was filed by a Maryland father who claimed his daughters, who are Black, were racially discriminated against when they were ignored at Sesame Place outside Philadelphia in June.

Sesame Place recently announced it was starting mandatory diversity training for staff, in the wake of the lawsuit. Both theme parks have apologized for such incidents, Crosland told News 12.
