I just came across this story.  Check this out. This seems like a great alternative to front of the line service for handicapped and mobility impaired people.  I believe everyone deserves consideration however it is taken a bit to far sometimes.  Like in the recent Disney news story.  This allows the family to keep the child or special needs adult busy instead of waiting stagnant in a line like the rest of us,  yet keeps the wait the same....... its a fair alternative to the present system.  Your thoughts?

Six Flags has been doing a version of that for years.  However their policy with the disabled is (go thru the exit line and board right now).

SF does have a "FLASH PASS" and the flash pass works that way (as your article).  It is OK but still not completey fair in my book.  I mean. If the wait line is 1 hour. I have to stand in line, "and generally in the heat/sun", for 1 hour.  With the pass I could register right now, go and have a sit down meal in the A/C, then head back to the line, and get right on. (Which I might add--can make the wait time even longer).  Still better, but still not great either.

I just wish they would work on the handicapped bathroom issue.  For example, a bathroom area that is marked "wheelchair accessible" is just that - wheelchair accessible.  On park, there is more than one handicapped accessible stall in each bathroom, but only one that is "wheelchair accessible".  It is a tough situation when a person needing the one marked "wheelchair" has to wait 30 min. or more because it is being used for toddlers being toilet trained, nursing mothers, people who stand in there to TALK ON THE PHONE FOR 30 MINUTES, change clothes, and those that just prefer a larger bathroom.

I couldnt have said it better myself.
