Will they let you on the rides if you have a broken wrist?

If they do, just hide your arm brace.

Owww that sucks, you shouldn't have to hide it. There are people with leg casts and such that don't hide them

if you have a disability such as autism, down syndrome, and also an injury from the waist down you are allowed a RAP pass which you can get at Guest Services. They don't make you show a doctors note Even though they probably should because anyone can say they "hurt" themselves. Now I don't want people yelling at me but I have not one but two damaged tendons in my ankle and can't stand on it for more than an hour and I get a pass. Now I know people are going to say well that's not fair and blah blah blah yeah I know. But like I said if you have a disability like the ones I listed, you're allowed to go up the exit. The red pass is for people that have autism, down syndrome because those people's disabilities eliminate them from waiting in line because they are not capable of doing so. The green one is a family one so say if the father is injured and he has kids that are younger than 10 meaning they can't be left alone so that's the green one (it allows up to 3 other people to go with that person). The blue one is for people that have injuries but don't have a big group with them like me, I go by myself and get the blue pass and could bring 1 other person with me. So there ya go.

Most coasters in Orlando will not let you ride with any form of hard cast on your body that is visible. I don't know how SFGAm handles it, but here, no luck for you.

Legally, they can not ask for a note as it violates patient privacy laws. Thus they either have to offer it to anyone or not at all. They choose the anyone route.

Probably most rides....I've seen people with sprained Legs get on rides.

I know they can't ask for notes, I'm just saying people can fake injuries. If I remember correctly, Fright Fest of 07 14 counted 14 girls came up the exit with broken arms. Totally fake because you can only get an exit pass if you have a disability or injury that you are incapable of standing on two legs in line.

It happens quite a bit. This year alone I've seen massive groups with the same injury at 5 parks.

Agreed. Broken arms are not acceptable in my opinion. Unless you have to use a cane/arm brace to walk.

When Shapiro became CEO, didn't they change the policy where if you have a disability, you have to wait the projected wait time that is going on in the queue for the ride?

Of course you don't have to go through the line itself, but if the line for a ride is 1 hour, you have to wait by the exit for that period of time?
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

No it got changed again, usually for front row it's an extra 15 minutes so if I wanted back row it would be a half hour, if I wanted front it would be 45
