Impatient Line Peeps

Really??? please tell me you are NOT serious!

I'm not serious! lol I was just being saracastic... hence the eye roll.

You really thought there was a chance she was serious?

Unless the only thing at the other side of that "gap" is the loading platform, then what difference does it make? :shrug: There's no need to be rude and skip over people, whether they are tying their shoe, looking through a bag, or taking a photo. You've accomplished absolutely nothing by skipping over one person/family. In your 45 minute wait, the only thing that you could have done for yourself, at best, is get on one ride vehicle ahead of the other person.

We see the same mindless behavior on the roadways every day. Drivers weave in and out of traffic, and for what, to get one car length ahead of me? Did that really make the other driver feel better? :brick:

I guess for some people, it does :hammer:

Einstein’s theory of relativity makes it clear that space and time are a single physical entity. We call this the Space-Time Continuum. Space-Time has four dimensions.as follows; north-south, east-west, up-down and past-future. When you fail to move ahead in a queue filling in all available space in a timely manner, you disrupt the space-time continuum. It then becomes the responsibility of other members in the queue to do their best to correct the disruption you’ve caused by moving ahead and filling in the available space. It’s a simple matter of understanding basic physics and being a good American. :wave:

i think u said better then anyone else:animwink:

Most lines aren't single file. Guests are encouraged to move as far forward as they can to fill whatever space is available. It's using space efficiently.

Exactly. Cast members are always telling people to move all the way down, filling all available spaces. Almost every poster in this thread encourages doing the opposite of what the cast members tell them...

I agree with the personal space thing there is no need to be that close to someone you don't know. I have never walked in front of someone when they're tying their shoes. I do find it annoying that in the 15minutes or so of standing still they notice their shoes are united when its time to move. I have never experienced people to close to me but my biggest pet peeve is when people are to busy with conversation to move when the line is moving. Its not like its a small gap I'm talking like there is a empty row in front of us. I swear the line would move faster if people were just more observant. I talk with my sister but we know the real reason were here is not to hold a conversation. I don't care about how cute Little Johnny is just move already.

Thanks but I'll use Euclidian space while I am in the parks thank you very much.

It's really a city vs. country thing. If you live in a big city, personal space is oftentimes not even an option. Try riding NYC subway trains.

You should also keep in mind that not every guest is fortunate enough to have the money to spend a week or so there every year. Many are going for their first and only time, just staying for a couple days. They want to see as much as possible. It's actually really rude to just ignore people behind you trying to go somewhere. The least you can do is get out of the way and let them pass you.

good point !

In the parks in general yes. In the actual line, no, it's not really holding you back from going anywhere except a few feet. The only instance where this would apply is an attraction with mass entrances like a show.

Are you kidding me?

Since when does it become my obligation to lessen my experience because somone has less than me?

It may be a nice thing to do, it may be something I choose to do, but it is not something I am obligated to do.

Just because someone is worse off in life than I am, I should be required to give them something? Guess what, I may go frequently, but there are people who go a heck of a lot more than I do. I guess by this logic I will have to start shoving in front of THEM.

When I am in a queue (not a general mass of people - but a ordered queue) I go in order and everyone else can follow in the same order as well.

If I have to stop to pick up something or tie my shoe, while the line moves 6 feet ahead, then you just wait, and when I am done we make up the 6 feet.

I agree! I hate the whole "close the gap" and let me breathedown your neck and sweat on you thing that people do. A gap in the line does not slow your progress down nor does it put you on the ride any faster. The ride is going to take off at the same intervals.

Hahahaha That's great!

 

[travelgip]

I just got back from Disneyland and noticed one part of a family waiting in the cue and then as they get close to the loading platform at the last possible "outside" access, the rest of the family comes in. I guess you call it line saving, but I still think it's quite rude!

No it wouldn't. The only time this would be true if someone was holding up the line right at the load point, and empty vehicles were being sent into the attraction while said person was holding up the line. It is patently ridiculous to insinuate that not closing a 3 or 10 or 20 foot gap in the middle of the queue makes any difference in how long the wait is.

Your obviously unfamiliar with how traffic congestion forms.

When did I say anything remotely similiar to shoving? If you want to take their time and stop to look at something in a moving queue then it's common sense politeness to step aside and kindly let people with more time constraints than you pass you by.

Sorry but you are patently wrong here. Read about crowd control and traffic patterns sometime. You'll be very enlightened.

No. Your point makes zero sense. You are talking about two completely different things.

A queue to get onto a ride like Midway Mania for example has a fixed endpoint. We are all going to get on the ride in the same place. Now, unless something happens to disrupt the line flow at the load point, which is not what we are discussing, then the same amount of people are loading every hour as they always do. Gaps in the queue do not effect this. You can not deny this.

 

[Bonemachine]

Most lines aren't single file and many (like TOT, HM, Dinosaur, RnRC, several at Epcot) enter in groups.

Who said we're not talking about stopping near or at the very end of the loading platform? The closer you are to the end of the queue, the more you mess it up by stopping. Common sense would tell you that we're all talking about the entire queue, particularly the end portion.
