If you are at a theme park with a ride access pass then you shouldn’t be also in the normal queue?

came across two groups at Chessington today (one of them a family we know, others openly talking about it in the main), RAP and their friends so virtual queue that ‘times them out’ for the length of the queue meaning they shouldn’t be able to ride for 60 min (for example). AIBU that they shouldn’t then use that 60 min to stain in the main queue for the same ride again (especially openly talking about it!). It means they get twice as many rides as non RAP guests.

It's very revealing how quickly non-disabled people’s support for accessibility and inclusion disappears the moment they perceive disabled people as receiving a 'perk' or 'playing the system'.

As soon as non-disabled people think they're missing out while disabled people are benefiting, they suddenly see access accommodations as unfair, as if living with a disability is some kind of special privilege. If you truly believe that disability comes with perks worth envying, why not swap. You can take on the absolute hypocrisy and ableism directed towards you from non-disabled people and your reward is access to priority queues.

The purpose of accommodations like this are not to "make up" for someone having a disability. That's irrelevant.

They are to create a more even, fair situation for that particular thing. In this case, using rides at the park.

It isn't to give the disabled person an advantage, it still has to be fair for all.
