For doing something I'm (rightly or wrongly but that's a whole other debate) entitled to do.
Everyone knows about theme park queuing systems, and I'm entitled to use them, and yesterday, I did. I don't see anything wrong with it, I've got proof of disability etc, why should I feel bad? Again you may feel differently and I respect that.
However yesterday I went to Alton Towers with my friend and I was made to feel like a fraud. EVERY queue, we had people muttering "it's --- disgusting" "Don't they know this is an exit" "What do they think their doing?" etc etc.
Got to the Rapids ride, got told to share a boat with a group of 6 as the queue was busy, one guy in the group started mouthing off at the ride staff about how we'd be ruining their group photo, why should they have to share etc. I was wearing a bright red wristband with "special access" written on it! Get a clue! And Rapids man, lose the selfishness!
Sorry, had to rant, and sorry if you don't agree with me using the exits, I do understand, but right now I don't want to get into that, have to defend myself on another forum where people say "If you're not in a wheelchair you're not disabled". Bah...
