Wow, talk about over complicating an old policy that worked just fine. Was there really that many complaints in regards to the old way of doing things? Granted, I could understand someone’s frustration if after waiting over thirty minutes on a hot summer day to ride an attraction, and then for someone who may only be slightly disabled to jump ahead in line.
However, after all of my visits to Silver Dollar City, I cannot recall one time where I had to wait in line longer, because of a disabled guest. Regardless, it’s not really that big of a deal.
For example, let’s say a group of disabled people all decided to ride Thunderation at the same time. There were just enough disabled people to fill each seat on the entire ride. Okay, this is starting to sound like a 7th Grade arithmetic problem. However, the point is a normal guest will only have to wait one additional train ride. That’s just a couple of minutes.
I think this new policy inconveniences things more, and creates additional delays. Under the old policy, as long as the disabled person did not take advantage of jumping ahead in line, I do not believe there would have been a problem.
