Yesterday, I went to Alton towers, which was very cool. We had a great day, but I couldn’t help feeling guilty: we went on about twelve rides, including Rita (acceleration on this must be experienced to be believed) Air (I’m sure I drenched someone) and Oblivion (wheeee), whereas apparently your lucky to get on four or five if you have to queue. I had a brief guilt complex – you normally have to pay extra to get fast-tracked, but we didn’t. it was simply because I was disabled.

I found myself asking: is this morally justified? I think it was: firstly, its probably physically easier if I just skip the queue, and secondly, well…there have to be some advantages to being a crip!
