The signs are more for us honest people who don't line jump and are afraid to do anything to get outselves ejected from the park.

Dorney Park and Great Adventure are parks that we don't go to and they are not far from us at all. People get more and more obnoxious everyday and it grates on my last never. I am not afraid to say something. Rude and obnoxious people do not set right with me. They have got to go!!

Originally Posted By schoolsinger On some rides at Magic Mountain when the line is very busy, they have given everyone in line a paper with a number on it the represents there spot in line. At the loading station all of the papers are checked. If you don’t have a paper with the next number, or one close to it, you will not get to board the ride. This stops line cutting.

Originally Posted By Coachbagfanatic Well Lewis, good for you that you say please and thank you. At least you have some sort of manners. But it still does not cut it in my book. Sorry. <<You are right Labuda. I never said I was proud of doing it but I just can't stop.>> Maybe you need therapy for your addiction?
Originally Posted By Lewis Goofy <<This is why I favor tripping these people as they pass......ooops, excuse me....can I help you up ? << I don't think many think of tripping me as I am a big man. In fact I think my size, well over 6 feet, helps me cut the line. I do not believe that I am the only one who does this....and I would like to hear from others who have cut the line and don't think twice about it.

If somebody tries to pass you, you could pretend to not speak English, and just block their path. I suppose you could run into trouble with trying to talk to other people in your group while in line, but I would definately try it.
Originally Posted By Coachbagfanatic <<If somebody tries to pass you, you could pretend to not speak English, and just block their path.>> Or you can be like my husband who moves in front of them every time they try to pass. While he is moving I am moving also so it's like a wave going side to side. When he first started doing this I thought he was bumping into me and I was getting mad until he filled me in on what he was doing. We had one person that tried to sneak between us down by our legs, Needless to say that person had a headache the rest of the day and no they never got by us. It is hard to remain calm when stuff like this is going on and you have your children there who are patiently waiting in line just like everyone else to get on the ride. Line cutting is just not right.

In my opinion there is something wrong psychologically with someone who cuts the line and doesn't see the slightest problem with it. There's definite moral development retardation going on there. You're supposed to grow out of the "ME ME ME" thing at a much younger age. As I said, what goes around comes around. As for the official response to cutting, Guests have been removed from Disneyland for cutting in line but onyl after they've been talked to and continued the behavior. A Guest can be removed from the Parks for doing it but generally they aren't reported. They just get dirty looks, etc.

Oh, and I would be polite too as I helped the line cutter up....

Originally Posted By Coachbagfanatic Well apparently Lewis thinks that he can intimidate people with his size. I am 5'4" and the word intimidation is not in my vocabulary. My father was a Marine, self explanatory. Like disneygal says, what goes around comes around. vbdad let's see if Lewis will try to cut someone of your size. I don't think so.
