The thing with all this is that, regardless of whether it's a physical or a mental condition, people would handle or respond to it differently. For instance, I've found myself on crutches a number of times and have generally struggled, whilst a few weeks ago a friend found herself on crutches and managed perfectly well. Now, we both were entitled to the same thing that the school will offer you, yet we utilised different things to fit our personal needs, despite us having what aome may regard as the same issue.
My point is, such a thing shouldn't be determined by and based on whether it's physical or mental, but based on the individual and their needs.

No, he insinuated that you might think he is
Everyone needs to stop looking for personal attacks in these posts

If it is something which really makes queuing difficult for the person, it should be treated accordingly. That's what I feel, anyway.

I did not realise you had captured actual real #exclusive footage of my toppling out of Devil's Creek. Oh dear indeed.

Hi guys,
New here! Love Thorpe and all Merlin Parks so thought I may just fit in here
With next years dark ride I thought this would be the ideal place to keep updated, as well as discussing all things theme parks. My local is Adventure Island! (my way of avoiding admitting where I live)

Or ride Rocky Express 60 times!

Some of the audacity and impertinence I've heard from some people is disgusting! It's sad to see that some people can be so close-minded and petty with such a thing, really. 
 
 
Unsure if it's really been touched on, but one of the worst injured has returned to Twitter, saying he was 'overwhelmed' by everyone's support, he has decided to make his account private and I saw that a journalist had asked him for an interview, so I don't blame him for doing so at all, very wise. According to reports, he's got two broken legs; don't quote me on that, though.

Humans are selfish creatures. Whilst the world continues to shrink it is only when something that affects your little sphere of existence that you become moved. I saw the boat capsize this lunch time and it slipped off me, sliding past my field of concern like butter in a pan. Then, shortly after 2pm I received a text. A text that, at the time, I belittled and passed off as someone having a prank. But I sat in my office for the rest of the afternoon, unable to work, unable to tear my eyes from the forums and news feeds. Gradually feeling sicker and sicker.Every moment came with it a dawning realisation. Initially I had foolishly wished that I was on the car and could witness an evac from a valleyed position, then I heard that there was a collision of 2 trains and I started to regret my wish. I could very well have been on park today, if not for a last minute change to Thursday. That could have been me sitting on Smiler. Suddenly it all hit home and I felt beyond sick. I sat pale and unable to not watch more. I walked home as an air ambulance flew overhead, landing at North Staffs, and I thought, I hope your going to be ok to the person sat on board, I walked past a lady who was crying. it was probably unrelated but that along with every sad face I saw on my walk home filled me with sorrow beyond words.
So that's why I am writing this couple of paragraphs, to say that my heart goes out to everyone involved:
To the people on the ride, who were unlucky enough to be on the car when this happened.
To the other guests at the park who are now on their way homes feeling lucky to be alive.
To the friends and families of anyone who was on park today. (I had 4 worried texts making sure I wasn't at alton)
To the staff who worked on Smiler today who will, no doubt, need as many friends as they have tonight.
To the staff working throughout the park, from ride hosts to management who will, I am sure, all shed a tear sometime tonight.
To the staff who work at any theme park who will be silently glad that it wasn't their park and feel guilty for that thought.
And even to every one of the 'fan-boys' and 'fan-girls' who sat like I did, from shortly after 2pm in shock.

Here's another couple tweets. Based on what I've heard from actual news sources, this is quite a lie. I find it quite... Disgusting that people are exploiting this in such a way but what can you do.
 
 

 
 
EDIT: it's getting worse. This will not be good for the park at all.

Confession: I did not know that Matt Creek had only gone to Disneyland Paris for the first time this year. Furthermore, I did not know he still has not been to the likes of Europa Park, Efteling, Phantasialand and more.

Post of the year confirmed. 

Sebshep more like sebstep away from the keyboard

I'm really jealous that people can spend £599 on re-riding the likes of Stealth, Nemesis and the wonderful Vampire ride for a year. Honestly, I really am.

Not sure I read that correctly,
 
Are you saying everyone with less disposable income is simply 'lazy'?
 
If you think that then you and this forum are not going to get on well.  In fact you and life aren't going to get on well.

Does a 45 minute queue really warrant the need of fastrack? Like, really warrant it? Sure, it might be a bit of an inconvenience, but I really cannot fathom anyone who would see such a queue advertised and think 'no way am I queueing for that long, I'm going to by fastrack'. Of course, some people really do hate waiting and this may have been a busy day, there could've been plenty of factor as to why someone would want to buy fastrack, but for someone to be pushing for it at the entrance of a '45 minute' queue seems silly in my eyes.
 
 
 
 
I probably just showed a generically British love of queuing right there

Phew, that wasn't so bad. Thank you for keeping it brief LC12.
