Line Jumpers/Cutters

[Ayla]

Are you a kid? Some people can't get under those ropes easily. I mean if you do it just to skip the walk fine but then let the people, who were ahead before you ducked under, go ahead.

Has anything I have ever posted here (including about my DH and 2 adult children) ever given you the impression I am a child?

It's wrong to cut the line however it's done.

Just back from Disneyland Paris. On Space Mountain a family jumped in front of me in the single riders line when out of site of a CM. When they reached the CM at the point where single riders are let on they got very animated arguing with him that they should sit together and had been told they could (in my limited translation of French) by another CM before. Fortunately the CM spoke English fluently and asked me whether I'd witnessed this conversation take place when they'd passed through the single riders entrance before me. I happily told him that this conversation had never happened due to the fact that they'd jumped into the single riders line from the standby line. He thanked me, sent me down the stairs to the ride vehicle and kept them where they were. I hope they were kicked out of the attraction because I hate liars and the fact they'd blatantly pushed in front of me. I also hated the way they assumed shouting at a CM would allow them to get away with this antisocial behaviour and enjoyed the ride more with the satisfaction that they'd not just got away with it so easily.

I'm guessing they were referring to your height as many adults would struggle bending over enough to go under the ropes whereas children can do it quite easily.

Line jumping would never come up if the investment was consistent with a “world class company” and was built to accommodate the current levels of the travel industry

Apologies, you were not the poster I had meant to reply to! Twas this guy.

Not really a line jumper but I have done this. They have the back and forth chained lines that are empty and the line of people are way up. I have ducked under the chaines rather than walking back and forth until I chatch up. I always stop and let people pass that were already in the line and walking back and forth that were behind me but entered the line ahead of me. Is this wrong?

Not wrong at all…….that’s how it should be done; you’re being efficient and perfectly fair

Of course it’s wrong.

Wrong implies somebody was injured(adversely affected) or there was a victim.

In that scenario who was inconvenienced?

You are not permitted to go under or over the queue ropes. It’s not hard to comprehend. it amazes me how everyone thinks they can just do what ever they want.

I think you are talking about tort damages, lol. Once you enter the line you can't skip ahead of people just because you don't want to walk an extra 100 steps.

Maybe you are mad cause you can't

What do you mean?

 

[TalkToEthan]

Perhaps graph means there is a percentage of guests who find it difficult to bend or contort or negotiate the obstacle(chains or horizontal poles)

Implying that it’s amusing to leave those people in the dust . . . Nice.

 

[TalkToEthan]

Not amusing(at least to me anyway). There is nothing funny or entertaining about shaving off as someone put it “100 steps” without inconveniencing or making another wait longer.

The implication I got was that the only people who objected to it were the ones too old or physically unable to do it themselves. I don’t believe that’s true.

I don't think there is an actual rule against it.

I don't think there is an actual rule against it.

Based on the CMs' reactions when people do it, there must be a rule against it. Primarily for safety reasons, I should think.

Never got a reaction and have done it in front of CMs. So what you THINk isn't a rule.
