Que jumpers: Beware!

Whilst all theme parks condemn the idea of que jumping, que jumpers are a prominent problem within theme parks today. Why is this such a big issue? Could the parks be doing more?


All the major theme parks of Orlando do have signs that state that queue jumpers will be ejected from the park without reimbursement of their admission. However, this problem continues to happen. These signs must be more prominent and basically have more of them!

Clarity: Alton Towers clearly define the premise and
consequences of queue jumping.

Another problem is that the theme parks do not necessarily define what a queue jumper is. Perhaps they should take a leaf out of Alton Towers' book, who clearly state what queue jumping is at various points in the queues. 


So what is the problem? Why should the theme parks be bothered? Simply because it can cause upset between guests and also often acts as a spark to ignite arguments between guests - putting a downer on what is supposed to be a 'magical' day.


It is one of my biggest annoyances at the parks. Surely it is only fair for everyone to wait for an attraction! It is understandable with families with young children who may need that impromptu visit to the bathroom, but holding a place for a group of friends? Not on my watch.
