💬 Quoted: “The notion that terms agreed to by a consumer when creating a Disney+ free trial account would forever bar that consumer’s right to a jury trial in any dispute with any Disney affiliate or subsidiary, is so outrageously unreasonable and unfair as to shock the judicial conscience.”

A wrongful death lawsuit against Disney is shining a light on the potential importance of reading the fine print for streaming services and apps. Last October, a 42-year-old New York doctor died after eating food containing allergens at a restaurant in Disney World, prompting her husband to sue the independently owned/operated restaurant and Disney itself. But according to recently filed documents, Disney is seeking to dismiss the suit and send it to arbitration because the deceased woman’s husband had previously signed up for a one-month trial of Disney+ in 2019 – a process that includes agreeing to terms that require the customer to settle any lawsuits against Disney via out-of-court arbitration.

• The entertainment giant also noted the woman’s husband agreed to a similar arbitration clause when creating an account on Disney’s website and app ahead of their visit. The husband’s lawyers filed a response this month framing Disney’s reason for seeking arbitration as “preposterous,” with a court hearing on the matter scheduled for October 2.

🎢 Stat of the Day: Yesterday, Six Flags unveiled plans for a new record-setting roller coaster at its Chicago-area theme park. The Wrath of Rakshasa will force riders to stare down a "96-degree, beyond-vertical drop" before plummeting down 171 feet – perfect for those who love feeling their stomach up by their ears. Riders will also experience five gravity-defying inversions at a top speed of 67 MPH. Once the Wrath of Rakshasa debuts in 2025, it’ll boast "the world's steepest drop with the most inversions on a dive coaster," according to Six Flags.
