I saw that. We are heading that way in a few weeks (Disney, not hiring a disabled guide).

There has to be some way where everyone can wait in the same line.

1. This is nothing new. This has been going on at all sorts of theme parks for years. It's been a long-time trick to get priority. It's just that now that somebody has actually made a business out of it and there's an underground ring that it's a story.

2. These are the same people that rent wheelchairs so that they can get through airport lines faster.

3. Before anybody throws all these rich, white moms under the bus...it's pretty clear that the tour guides came up with a genius business plan to turn their disability into possibility. They're making some serious dough.

The people upset at this story have nothing to do with defending disabled people, but rather pissed that they have to wait in line so long and rich people don't.

I don't see anything wrong with this. I always rent Bammers to to do low skill labor it gives them something to do until they get further instructions from Saban on what to think and do.

I use former SEC players to dig ditches and clean port o potties. No harm.

The last time I went to Six Flags, 10-12 years ago, there were 3 sets of girls that were taking turns pushing each other around in wheelchairs. And they would roll straight up to the front of the line and ride. This concept is not new, just taken to a higher level.

I saw it at Disney 12 years ago, nothing new.

Once again, they need to find a way where everyone waits equally in line (outside of fastpass of course)
