Well first off, if you have heart and blood pressure problems you shouldnt be riding coasters. You think they make those signs up? How does heart and blood presure issues prevent you from waiting in line?

If your capabile of waiting in line, wait in line like the rest of us. I have seen to manny perfectily abled get exit passes, and use them to their full advantage. Know who the exit passes are for? anyone? They are for the people with real problems! Ya know, like the ones that cant walk! Who actually have a disability.

Just ponder it.

I think you have to QUALIFY for a disability pass before you can be issued one. If you have NO OBVIOUS disability, I think they ask just to make sure. I could be wrong, but when I went to GR, they even gave one out for a girl in a walking foot cast.

Well, if your feet swell up very badly when you're on them for hours at a time, say, waiting 2 hours for a ride (roller coaster or ANYTHING), then in my book, you aren't capable of standing in line. I, myself can't handle being on my feet that much due to balance problems. But I can walk. If I did not take my scooter, I would make it maybe an hour or two tops. Not worth paying that much to go for that little time.

I would absolutely love to be able to go through the entrances just like everyone else and not be told that I can only go on certain rides 3 times in any visit. Unfortunately, the ride entrances are NOT accessable. And I can't jump the stairs in a scooter like that. If the entrances were more accessable, then I would have no problem waiting in line just like everyone else.

Umm does it work that way with Fast Lane too? You can only go on the bigger rides 3 times each in a day? Same principle. Just the people who use Fast Lane, not sure if G Am still has that or not, don't want to wait in line, but are capable of waiting if they really wanted to. Not to start a debate or anything.....
