My sister and I usually ran around the park together.... and I was the evil one of the two. I loved to ride the Matterhorn and a couple of other E-ticket rides. However, the lines were gawd-awful long. So, being resourceful.... ok, sneaky... I would find those spots where the que fences broke and were "sealed" by just a chain. I would then proceed to find a young adult couple where were more interested in talking to each other than in watching how the line was moving......then I would "drop" my ticket book inside the chain, bend over to pick it up, and just "naturally" stand up and viola! I was WAYYYyyyyy in front of the mile-long line! My sister, of course, would then join me. In all the times we used that bit, I never had a complaint..... except from some kids that saw it once, but they were ahead of us in line by about 50 people, so they weren't around long. Ok, so I was evil! I was 9! Laura, [email protected]
