I was thinking more along the lines of "oh hey you're building a water park, cool! By law it must be handicap accessible so please make a section easily accessible and here is a $1mil grant to make that possible, show us your plans before we issue the permit". This feels fairy reasonable.

Short of the grant part, isn't that basically what the ADA does?

Should do, yep, but obviously not well if dudes getting PR for doing it privately.

Still, it's a niche amusement park. Not really the purview of the government.
