What are your opinions on the people that use these?
Like most people, I hate it since it is like extreme line jumping if you aren't hurt. I know some people can use it, but why would you ride a coaster if your hurt?

1. I thinks its good, but bad. People with disabilities shouldnt have to wait in a long line. Some people abuse this and fake an injury or something so they can get through the exit, so thats why I think its bad. I saw at least 5 people do this at WDW last winter.
2. Dont know. 3. I dont think so, unless you know someone. Frank
I'm not trying to be in your buisness or personal life but what is a genetic disorder? If this offened you then u can ignore this question. From being one of the class geeks in 8th grade to one of the most noticable ones in High School. Thats what you call "Steppin Yo Game Up!"
A genetic disorder means he inherited it from his parents. It's probably been passed down through his family for a long time.

  Ok I still don't get it. It's inherited from his family . But is it like a infection like Aids, Cancer, you know that stuff? (If those are too inapporpiate then take them off)From being one of the class geeks in 8th grade to one of the most noticable ones in High School. Thats what you call "Steppin Yo Game Up!"
I think he would have said a more intense disease had it been cancer or something. As for the exit ramp, I have horrible knees, ankles, legs and a bad back (years of sports injuries), but I only qualified for the exit pass when I had a brace on my knee. Just go to guest relations and ask for one (a doctors note works like a charm). I got like 40 rides on Demon with one.
Not to sound like a jerk or anything, but why in god name would you ride a Rollercoaster if you have a disorder with your back?
Especially since the ride signs in from of the rides explicitly say "Do not ride if you have back aliements." As far as know, people with a ride pass are only allowed a certian amount of rides in a day or in a certain hour. and to answer your last question... Six Flags does not cater to enthusists.... Id be royally pissed if some guy with a special card in his wallet gets to avoid a 2 hour line. 
^Yeah. I was bummed I used my entire exit pass in less than two hours
To your third question, the answer is NO, they will not give you an exit pass because you have an ACE card, personally they dont really care who you are, as long as you spend money there. They did once give ACE members a coupon at NCC to recieve one free exit pass for the 2004 season, but they haven't done anything like that since then.
Also, they have a simulated line now for all people with exit pass, called "Rap" pass (I believe that is how you spell it). You get a specified time to return to the exit, the time is usually the same length as the wait in the normal line. They no longer get you on the ride directly because they know people do abuse the system, so they are trying to make it more fair the best way they can. Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer

2 quesions...
1-What is an ACE card? I'm guessing it's an American Coaster Enthusiast card? 2-Where/how do you get one? YEA!!!! THREE MONTHS TO GO!!!!!!!
1. Join Ace
2. It is a special card issued to Acers that I think is needed to get into events Last edited by MSLSM on July 7th, 2006, 9:59 pm, edited 3 times in total.
1. Its an ACE card 2. You join the ACEr's.
This is one of the least ingenious threads on this board. Most of these posts don't make sense.
First off, people, don't assume that because you injured your knee or what have you four years ago you should automatically be entitled to an accessibility pass. Those passes are there for people that, for whatever reason out of their control, cannot wait in the regular line. Secondly, it is of course an honor system. Going back to my first point, be kind, don't abuse the system because you wear a brace, etc. If you are able to walk through the entire park without sitting down, I find it suprising that you cannot wait in a ride line without sitting down. Be fair to those that aren't jerks like yourself and stop using it. Danhockey, you are right, it's a Rider Accesibility Pass (a.k.a. R.A.P.). I really cannot stand all the stuck-up, over-obsessed A.C.E./enthusiast people who think they always have the right of way. Who in their right mind would think that Six Flags would start giving out passes to people who post on SFGAmWorld??? And for all of you that think your back is "good enough" to ride a coaster at Six Flags, think again. The sign clearly states that you should not be riding. Six Flags doesn't care what your doctor thinks, you have a bad back, you ain't ridin'. The sign doesn't say you can't ride with a bad back unless your doctor said otherwise, does it? NO! Don't go crying and filing a lawsuit with Six Flags when you get injured, if anything you'll be filing a lawsuit with your doctor for telling you it's all right to ride.
I see people in wheelchairs use them, and it doesen't appear that they have anything wrong with them. Usually it is a whole group of these "disabled" people too.

No, that post wasn't directed toward anyone in particular. Sorry if it sounded that way.
What I hate even more is that if one person is "disabled", then the person, their parents, friends, and sibbilings all get a free ride. I think a doctor's not is needed to get a pass, but again, why ride coasters if your hurt?

Twix, I agree with you.... MSLSM, Im sorry but, if you have a disorder with your back, that might seriously injure you, you should not risk more injury for a rollercoaster.
I really dont want to sound mean to you, because im sure you have to endure alot of pain with your disorder, but seriously i wouldnt risk it. But, I also know first hand what its like not being able to ride my favorite rides too... to i can understand where you'd want a pass etc.
If you really need to use it, then by all means, I think you should use it. Why pay for FastLane, which only gets you most of the way through the line on only some rides?
On the other hand, you really should re-consider riding the rides that don't allow riders with back injuries. I was at the admission ticket booth (which I rarely ever visit since I've got a season pass into the park) because my friend doesn't have a season pass of his own. The woman in front of us was pregnant and couldn't ride any of the rides, and asked the attendant if they sell discounted tickets, and sure enough, Six Flags offered a 1/2 price ticket for her. My guess is that you could use that offer as well. (Of course, don't use the offer and then ride all rides.)
All I have to say to those who cheat the system:
Use a flash pass. Sure it costs money, but less people will hate you. Last edited by MSLSM on July 7th, 2006, 9:56 pm, edited 2 times in total.
I'm just lazy so can I get a exit pass
Last year me and my nephew had this kid that we believe was following us just to piss us off. He had this full back brace on and his mom kept telling the ride ops that he just had back surgery when they came up the exit ramp! Who in their right mind would ride a coaster right after back surgery!! Well it almost got amusing because she would help him (he was only about 9 or 10) into the seat and he always made this face like he was in pain when he was getting into the seat. Almost 10 rides in row we waited for front and when we were next he was there wanting our row 
Hey, I have twin cousins who have the same exact thing. There skin changes colors in some spots and they have a couple of tumors. There's isn't real bad though. There was this thing in Milwaukee, called an NF walk that I went to. I hate it when somebody says that they have a sprained ankel and they use the exit line. SFGAm top 4 Coasters
