Being a theme park enthusiast, and having been a parent with all the frustrations that come with waiting in line with a small child... I STILL knew (and currently know) what the unwritten rules are: * You don't get to cut in line (for any reason be it a kid or otherwise)... * You don't get to have people ''hold a place'' for you... * If you REALLY need to go to the bathroom unexpectedly you should have at least been IN the line before you leave (and you should inform the people in front and behind you to eliminate any confusion when you come back)... * If you are a parent and you KNOW that you (or your kid) has a problem with standing around for hours in line, then don't get in line! * Theme parks have created and exaggerated this frustration by introducing ''class warfare'' with fast pass purchasers. "Hey if you have more money, not only will we treat you better (and you can get on more rides today), but we'll ALSO let you make the experience worse for people who can't afford to pay extra!" Tell me that isn't going to create issues... but then again... that's kinda the American healthcare system and half of the country seems ok with it so there ya go. :)

If you allow people to ''cut in with a fast pass'' then you've pushed other people who ALSO PAID A LOT OF MONEY further back in line thus giving them LESS rides in a day because of the fast pass users. It sounds stupid now but just wait, eventually it'll get to a point where if you don't purchase the full ''fast pass upgrade'' at a theme park, you'll be paying $100 for 3-4 rides over the course of 12hrs just because you can't afford the extra $100. Funny enough if you went back in time 30-40yrs the concept of ''pushing people back'' because you have more money would've been repulsive for most amusement park enthusiasts.

@@Incomudro1963 So?

The problem with line cutting is that the people who give cuts think "I own this space in the line, and I'm entitled to allow my friends to join my space." The reality is that every position in a line represents a certain amount of time you have to wait before getting on to a ride. When you give someone cuts you aren't sharing your wait time, you are adding to the time everyone behind you in line has to wait. In order for your friend to wait less (by getting cuts), everyone else behind you in the line has to wait more. You don't have the right decide it's ok to make other people wait longer. When you're giving cuts, you give away something that isn't yours to give. Virtual queues are so much better. They should offer them for every ride. Waiting 2 hours for a ride is torture if you're standing on hot asphalt with your knees locking up. If you have a virtual queue position, you can go to a restaurant, shop, sit on a bench, whatever. You only have to come to the ride within a few minutes of your virtual queue time. Although the "imagineered" queues (with story elements) are better than steel switchbacks, virtual queues are just better in every way.

While I and 3 of my friends waited for Guardians of the Galaxy, a lady in front of me was slowly joined by 22 other grad niters whereas she was the only one in front of me when I got in the line. Over the course of 15 minutes more and more teens joined her ahead of us. By the time we got into the building it became apparent that she was an adult chaperone and had spread the word that she was in line and that everyone could join her. The rest of the queue seethed but didn't say anything. Line cutting rules need to be more apparent as opposed to it mostly being enforced by the "honor system".

See, this is why we need elektric fences in the que

They should allow you to go to the bathroom but Cedar Fair and Six flags parks do not. If you leave to use the bathroom you must go at the beginning of the line.

Last year I was at Disney World and we were in line for Tower of Terror when my daughter had to use the bathroom. I didn't want to get out of line because I didn't want people thinking I was skipping the line (although with a young kid most people understand). Thankfully when we got back, there was a chain where my wife and son were I was able to go under it and few people saw me. What I saw in other lines were the random teenagers who would say "my family is up there" but somehow their family was way up at the front. If you got out of line that long, you don't get to just cut back in. I did see one person calling the teens out on it though.

Years ago my wife wanted to meet some of The Disney princesses. To help speed it along my son and I got in one of the longer lines so that my wife and daughter could go into a shorter line for one of the other princesses. Once they got done they came to us in the line and we gave up our spots so they could stand in line where we were. And then my son and I went and did something else, is that line cutting?

Definitely not line cutting for 2-3 people who went the restroom or get food and meet up … maybe a giant group then yea that’s different but I still wouldn’t care, everyone is just having fun

I see it a lot, especially near the front half of the line. 20 minutes in, a family of 20 will cut everyone to join up with one or two people. Or if there's a cheerleading camp or some event, 20 friends come join two people that are ahead of us. In those situations, the proper thing would be for the two people to stop and let people pass until they join with the 20 people. But that never happens. It's annoying. Happens at the disney transportation as well. Big groups cut the line for buses...and it makes some people have to wait to catch the next bus. The attendants just watch it happen and do nothing about it. It's so annoying.

Disney just changed their disability service (due to abuse), so people with legitimate issues who need to leave the line and return (Disney's solution) are going to get harassed for doing what they're told to do to handle their medical issue. Hopefully Disney handles it in a better way than what everyone can think of, because if you need to leave the line for a bathroom emergency you're already cutting it close, so to speak, you're certainly not going to be able to look for a CM, explain you need to go to the restroom or step out of line to handle your medication, wait for them to give you a return pass, etc. And if you're having a panic attack or PTSD episode? Again, not able to find a CM...you're just looking to get out immediately. What a mess they're gonna have on their hand.

I'll admit, people cutting in lines bothers me more than it probably should. However, if I'm in line and I see you walk past me like you're leaving...and then come back and say excuse me like you're going back up front, I don't mind it in the slightest. But if I've been in the line for 45 minutes and you're trying to get in front of me, and I never saw you walk past me before...then I have an issue with it.

Regarding if a friend jumps into a line with friends. Technically they aren't making the line longer if they're even numbers. :P But yeah... just dont line up until you're all together. Bathroom needs override the line. I know they do because I asked a worker once if I could exit through the lightning line to washroom and then come back in that way in order to get back to my group. They were fine with it.

It's getting worse at Knott's. I did have an incident years ago there. One person left their group in front of me. Came back with 3 other people. I wouldn't budge. Ride operator came by and they said "they had to use the bathroom." But as far as the single people bypassing? It's not that bad until you realize you have a bunch of single riders "meeting up with their friends" and next thing you know you have seen 30+ people cut past you. It's getting bad and I probably won't be renewing my season pass. Not worth waiting in a long line to only see people just cut through that increases the time you are in line

The longest line I’ve probably been on was about 45 minutes for Yukon Striker at Canada’s Wonderland. Obviously I didn’t even think of line cutting. Not only is it against park policy, but it also gave me a long time to contemplate my decision to get on the roller coaster. But it was super fun!!!

Best thing to do on Yukon Striker is to go Single Rider. I think it usually ends up being even faster than the Express Pass. I think the longest I've spent waiting for a ride at Wonderland was for Days of Thunder. Yes I'm old.

At Knott's Berry Farm, a man punched me in the face for not allowing his daughter to cut me in line. Yep, a grown ass man, punching a skinny girl in the face because she dared to tell his entitled daughter to respect her spot in line. The guests sided with him. Experienced more than 40 line cutting incidents like this at Knott's, patrons always sided with the line cutters and staff was doing nothing about it. I'll agknowlege a lot of the groups there were school music trips and not coaster enthusiasts that went accross the country just to ride coasters (for what I thought would be my last big coaster trip at the time, then I got a scare acting job at Hersheypark in the fall and have just been bouncing around place to place and riding lots of coasters in the process) but the fact that the adult chaperones were far worse than indifferent to the behaviour, to put it mildly, shocks me. I've never seen such badly behaved guests, even, again, as someone who worked a haunted house where kids love to be assholes and scare someone behind them.

That’s horrible. I’m sorry you had to go through that. Some guests can be really nasty. Knott’s does seem to have a lot of issues with their lines, especially Ghostrider, Xcelerator, and Silver Bullet. I have seen people cut in line on all three of those attractions. I have also seen it at Disneyland in the line for the Matterhorn. The most widespread line cutting I have seen was at Portaventura. It seemed like everyone was cutting in those lines. :(

@@mattrix4200 So you're providing an excuse for poor behavior. I think we call that self entitlement.

Is it punishment to folks who chose not to buy a toll pass to use express lanes to get to work 20 mins earlier than the guy who decided not to buy the pass and drive on the main roads in the slow lanes? Just because I can afford to spend an extra $200 on an express pass doesn't give you the right to get your feelings hurt and feel entitled to cut me in line. I don't get mad at the folks who fly first class and can board the plane 15 minutes before me. I also don't get mad at the guy who can afford to stay on property and get 1 hour early admission while I choose to stay off property and have to go in at the regular time. By the way I stay on property all the time and get 30 minutes early or 1 hour early and I don't feel superior to anyone as I'm walking by them. I paid my money, they could have paid theirs, that's it.

Was at Disneyland last week, saw this on multiple occasions with friends cutting in to be with their group, and a group of youngsters cutting through the dividers. None of it is monitored or enforced, and in this day and age, if you call them out, you risk getting into an altercation. Can't wait to go again Friday 😂

People cut all the time in my school lunch line and it took my school almost 2 years to figure out a decent solution, I dont understand why people just cant wait and not be a degenerate human being.

Happens in long lines at food courts also. One person in line and then twenty friends walk up to place orders all at the same time and say "we're together".

Man, you had a crappy teacher then, our teachers always got onto line cutters and made them get in the back of the line.

When I go to a theme park, I follow the bars/ropes that direct the foot traffic even if it was a slow day such as winter season at Universal. I never assumed the line area was completely empty.

I really dont care if its one or two people who go to their group, but once its like a whole family is when it gets annoying

I’m glad you clarified about leaving and returning

I was waiting in the IRON GWAZI queue line at Busch Gardens and this woman starting cutting the line. Since she had on a backpack, I thought she was just leaving out the other side. She got to the front and when the next car rolled in, she proceeded to sit down in one of the cars. I immediately called her out about how she cut the line. The ride attendants escorted her off the ride. Karma got the best of her.

Line cutting vs having one or two people catching up with their family is different and there’s a reason Disney doesn’t do anything about it. You may feel differently but why do you think Disney allows it?

I was at Disney world for the first time ever. Was so shocked and a but angry because of the line cutters. That one family member would be in the queue then the rest of the family would come later. Making the wait times much longer. It happened way too often. I let someone infront of me not knowing they had 6 other family members were arriving in 20 minutes!

I was at six flags the other day and there were so many friend line cutters, it angered me cause I had seen the original group enter at the same time I did. This was quite annoying since we waited around 2 hours for this coaster 💀

The last time I went to MK was terrible with the line cutting. Don’t even get me started on getting on the tram. I don’t know if they changed the rules but at the time we had to run across the street to get on the tram and because of that everyone cut and you don’t get a spot and have to wait for the next tram. While my family and I were waiting in line for Jungle Cruise a middle aged man literally cut in front of everyone and stayed between my sister and I, and my parents.

Unfortunately, from my experience, Disney parks are some of the absolute worst places to go because of line cutters. The cutters are among hundreds of reasons why I haven't been to their theme parks since 2009.

Whenever there’s a small line on theme parks my family goes under the dividers we’ve never been told not to do it and we are not affecting others. We also don’t cut in front of others.

Last month for Alton Towers opening day the new retracked and rethemed coaster Nemesis Reborn had a maximum of 275 minutes (over 4 hours) next month at Thorpe Park I can see Hyperia being 8+ hours (I won't be doing Hyperia's opening and definitely won't be watching any videos until I experience it myself

I was at Dorney Park with a few friends in 2005, the same day Hydra opened. We wait for an hour, and 30 minutes in, my friends mom cut through to give us water bottles. Security went over her about line jumping, and she told the guard to back off and said he was checking on his son. The guard obliged , and she left the line.

I haven't been to Disneyland in over 15 years and when I went a few years ago I hated every moment of it, I never knew how creepy Disney adults were till I saw them and how aggressive getting in line was it reminded me why I don't bother going to such a park.

There’s no such thing as cutting if you have to put stuff in a locker then meeting your family up ahead. However, I do agree that a whole circus of people cutting to meet their family is pretty ridiculous!

It’s so annoying when you see groups do the go somewhere else then join there party in line (that is the most common way of line cutting in Disney world

Sorry but if there are empty sections, it’s harmless to go underneath it. Why do ppl do it all the time? Bc it really does not matter. No one is getting cut in front of, no one is getting hurt. But what do I know, I’m the “whatever works, works” type of guy who is all for just doing things if it doesn’t hurt or bother no one.

Thanks for the rant. I had an experience way back in 2014 at DCA while waiting in line for Toy Story Midway Mania where a woman in front of me got on her mobile phone, said "you better get here" once we were nearing the boarding platform. All of the sudden, 8 people were pushing their way through the line and reached her. I asked the cast member if this is OK, as he witnessed what was going on and he just looked at me without saying anything. The 9 people got on the ride like it wasn't a big deal. It all made me feel as if Disneyland Resort didn't care and as if I wasn't a valued guest.

I can understand about the bathroom situation that is Np. I have seen that done few time.

I’ve seen a lot of the skipping through empty lines lately. Even at GR we had two groups cut in front of us doing this.

Had scenario 3 happen at BG Tampa: one guy got in line for SheiKra, then halfway up the queue, about 30 minutes later, his entire familia came trotting up. All 10 of them.

6:15 I've been in this situation before, I was waiting for the front row on a ride. I had loose articles with me, so I went across the train to the bins. Then an elderly woman and her granddaughter/niece walked from the back and sat in the front, so I told her that that isn't the row she was supposed to wait for; but then she told me that she waited in line like everybody else; but then my dad - who was riding with me stepped in and said "get out of his seat".

I've been called out for cutting in line for taking my son to use the restroom once but let's face it this is going to happen when you have three children and are waiting in long lines.

EXACTLY!!! THANK YOU!!! Every park has their rules clearly laid out in print on their brochures that include the park map. All of them go into detail on what line cutting consists of and they all say that you WILL be thrown out of the park if you do it! Guests get in line when they decide that there aren't too many people in line for how fast it will move. They didn't choose to let anyone cut in line and they never chose to get in line because there were 3 more people at the back of the line! The brochures clearly state that your ENTIRE PARTY MUST BE WITH YOU WHEN ONE OF YOU GETS IN LINE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT BE RIDING TOGETHER!!! If you want to skip the line, you must pay for the park's skip the line pass!!! NO EXCUSES!!!! You will NOT be cutting around me in line for ANY REASON!!! If you do, I WILL make it my mission to have you thrown out and banned from the park!!! No, leaving the for ANY REASON, including to use the restroom is considered line cutting because if you leave the line for ANY REASON, you are basicallu signing a contract that says you WILL NOT get your place back later in line!!! If you want to get back in line, you MUST GO TO THE BACK OF THE LINE AND STAY THERE!!! Park rules CLEARLY state that all guests must use the restroom between rides!!!! NO EXCUSES!!!

I worked at California Screamin’ in DCA for years and never saw anyone successfully cut the line. It was not an issue in any of the attractions I worked at. I maybe can think of one or two times it was a problem in the entire 7 years I worked in attractions. An entire group of 15 Gypsy’s once tried to cut the line, unsuccessfully, and were told to not come back. They didn’t push through anyone, though. They just tried to get to the front with an improper pass. Sorry, not buying into this. These videos are isolated instances, but certainly not the norm you’ll see.

If I was to ever make a theme park from scratch: I'd design every ride queue with more than a 1 hour average wait to have small, time sensitive restrooms every 50-100 feet or so that have a 5 minute limit (basically you can only do number 1 and/or quickly change pads/tamp if you menstruate). A scanner with camera outside of these restrooms will only accept a restroom card (explained below) if your face matches the picture you took at the front office. This would prevent families abusing this when there are already regular restrooms outside of the ride queues. The top of the in-queue restroom would have a countdown timer to let other park guests know if it's occupied and when the next person can expect to use the restroom. If you're not out on or before the 5 minutes, the self-cleaning feature activates and sprays the whole thing down with water for 30 seconds then the door opens automatically. Restroom cards: Each park guest that needs one of these would go to the front office, take a picture, and receive a unique restroom card that allows the use of 3 of these in-queue restrooms throughout the entire day. Each use of the in-queue restroom pass would have a 1 hour cooldown. Park guests that are ADA, pregnant, elderly, have small non-potty trained children, or have doctor's notes would be able request for special restroom cards that increases the number of uses, time limit, and cooldown time depending on the what it is. All of the conditions would need to be verified through a HIPAA-exempt rule allowed by the state or government so no one can fake it. From there, I'd make a rule where line cutting results in an immediate ban from the park for 180 days. No excuses, no warnings, no second chances.

One thing I forgot to add: you (and your party's) spot in the queue is paused where the in-queue restroom is at. A bright red line would indicate where your spot is. If someone is stepping on the line, you line up behind them when you exit the restroom.

At my local park Kings island. There is no holding spots for others or cutting to be with a friend. All forms of line cutting are prohibited and will result in immediate removal from the park. They’ve always had that rule but never really enforced it till this year. Now they have signs up all over the place and I’ve heard a lot of reports from people that they have seen people escorted out of the park cause they line cut. So they are enforcing it. Now how long that will last has yet to be seen but at least for now they are enforcing it.

I make line position for my kids and my wife. When they finish the ride, I give our spots for them and leave the line no one until now get mad because usually the line dosent move that much

There has ever been ONE time in my entire life where i actually accepted line cutting: after waiting in line for nearly two hours at a harry potter ride, someone downright offered me $1 to cut in front of me. I accepted. I mean, money is money, i aint gonna say no to that. Dude proceeded to offer money to everyone else waiting. Bro must've been desperate😭

The thing is too, I've heard that if you DO have a thing like suddenly you need to use the restroom (or your kid does), you can try asking a cast member if they can reserve your spot while you do that, then come back and reclaim your place. Sometimes, you simply just need to pee, and can't hold it for that long. But also, it's just best to use the bathroom before standing in line as it is, because you simply don't know how long that line could be - or how long it would be until you need to go. There are things like special needs (such as autism) that can allow you to get a pass and go into the faster line as well (idk about in Disney, but Universal did). But for crying out loud, PLEASE don't proclaim disability and be using it just to do that! It's uncool and very unfair for those like myself who GENUINELY HAVE THAT SPECIAL NEED.

Knott’s Berry farm won’t let you hold a spot for your family member or friends. You can get removed from the park for this

Honestly I’ve done the one where we meet the group and that is because my kid sometimes has to use the bathroom and bathrooms are FAR AF

At Disney World splash mountain people always run up the fast past line and then crossover into the. Regular line at the very end. so annoying

I have been stunned by the gall of line cutters at Disney World cutting into the buzz lightyear shooter ride.. I thought really? You are just going to do that? In front of the hundreds of people standing there watching? I have no idea where these people are from but they were wearing a lanyard with tiny red maple leaves dotted along it. Another time I saw others cutting and there was a red maple leaf on the sleeve of their stylish short sleeve polo shirt. I can only conclude that these symbols indicate a mindset among whatever group of people this is. This is not a slam against anyone it just happened.

Not all the lines are lines. In some the cast members tell you to fill in the available space, they even say is alright to cut in front of someone if there's space.

Honestly, I've been going to the parks since the 70s and have never actually noticed a line cutter. Tho for the last 16 years or so we've entered through the disabled entrance because of my daughter. Not really noticeable there, and I probably just didn't care to look when I was in my 20s and younger. The Karen video referenced was actually the first time I'd ever seen it happen in any capacity.

It’s so funny I came across this about line cutting. It never occurred to me that when a group or an individual pushes past everyone else to catch up with friends it may be like cutting. Until recently that is. My friend and I were at Knotts Berry Farm and a couple of teens were working their way thru the line presumably to catch up friends that were already in line but to turned out they weren’t catching up with anyone and were in fact just cutting the line. We watch them stop behind a group of people that they pretended to be with but after watching them it was obvious they weren’t with that other group. They were trying to be slick by not drawing too much attention to themselves and hoping no one would say anything. Well nobody did that time. Now just yesterday I was at SFMM waiting in line for Twisted Colossus and a group of six teen girls pushed their way through the line but were stopped by an adult male that refused to let them pass him. He actually admonished them and told them he didn’t care if their friends were already in line, they weren’t and shouldn’t be allowed to just cut in line while the rest of us were waiting for 30 minutes already. He wouldn’t let them pass and told them to take it up with the ride attendants or security if they had a problem with it. After that they all did an about face and left. Thanks for bringing awareness as it makes me more viliant with I see this now. As for the bathroom scenario, that actually happened with me. A friend and I were standing like line for Full Throttle and I realized I wasn’t going to be able to make it so I quickly ran to the restroom and ran right back in line where my friend was. I also had this happen when I got into the fast lane by accident. I was actually unfamiliar how that worked at the time and when I got up there and wa asked for my fast lane pass I didn’t have one. I was more than willing to go get in the regular line but lucky me… the attendant said since there was nobody behind me and it was obvious it was a mistake he did let me go just that once. I didn’t even ask or make a fuss. I just said “oh I didn’t realize I was in the wrong line.. I’ll just go back.” I was waved forward and I said thank you and this won’t happen again.

When I was at DCA (just my mother and I) I waited on line at The Little Mermaid and when I got to the doors to go inside, I informed the cast member there I was waiting for my mother. He allowed me to stand by him as guests passed by until my mother joined me, and we were allowed to proceed to the rest of the line. It seems that was allowed as the cast member had no issue!

If you’re already waiting in line, and you have to temporarily leave the line for what ever reason. You should be able to come back without anyone giving you grief about it. Especially if you’re not near the front anyways, it’s really not affecting anybody else

What? People cut the line to get into California. This doesn't surprise me.

The so-called celebrities are the worst line cutters in the world. I've seen it happen.

Although I feel bad for people that had to go to the bathroom sometimes people will lie and claim that thier”friends” are ahead even though they’re not, I just wouldn’t let anyone pass me just in case

What about this scenario. Say you're in line and the part in front of you starts doing something that holds up the rest of the line behind them, including you. This tends to happen in queues that have props such as GOTG. Sometimes, guests will do things like start filming a TikTok video where they dance while they're in line and remaining in the same place, thus holding up the rest of the line behind them. If that's the scenario then I'd say it's OK to walk by them. In fact, it'll actually make the things easier for the theme park cast members as doing so alleviate the problem of lines being held up.
