[quote=""McFlurry""]There's a few issues here to be honest. Firstly, there's times when TTF Queue Jump - Everyone's done it, it happens, its a fact of life. Secondly you do not know under any circumstances how that person will react. If, you feel like the world is about to end becuase someone has walked infront of you then so be it. But it doesn't give you ther right to force the group to stand by your OWN merits. What would happen if that person was to attack a member of our group? Yeah they would get the crap kicked out of them by the rest of us however that's not a position anyone should be put it.

There's various consequences involved, not just for you, but for the people you involve i.e the rest of the group. What happens if they meet one of the group later on a decided to get revenge? A bit far fetched I know but the fact is somthing like this COULD happen.

Yeah we're not exactley gonna let a group walk through the middle of us while queueing, but to be honest it's rather hard to get through us in a Queue anyway as we're such a large group. But if it's one person in a small queue it's not worth losing sleep over![/quote]

This isn't Scotland :P . Even if a person turned nasty, I would hope (against hope) that the rest of my clan would step in to calm the situation and defend me, and the person who started it all would be kicked out and appropriately dealt with! If you start something over something so silly, then others are welcome to finish it!

My stance when it comes to q jumpers in never let them past, regardless of who they are I always stand my ground, and if they try to intimidate me then they asked for it. Obviously if it was a small child who cleary was trying to get past, not only would I let them past if someone infront of me didn't I'd stick up for the kid and make sure they got to their family safely.

An incident that happend at Fantasy Island in June is there was 4 of us in Millenium Coasters and a typical "Jeremy Kyle Show" style chav couple tried to get past, we wouldn't let them past and despite them swearing and failing at trying to act hard, we stood our ground till a member of staff kicked them both out. :P

Had I been at Camelot on that say, I would definatly had backed you up Diogo mate, and had they got past I'd have recorded the incident, followed them to the station and showed the video to the ride ops.

Also, I have never q jumped in my life or brought a Fastrack and never intend on doing either. It's against my morals.

I love how you said something and then completely contradicted it in the next sentence. :P

Suppose I did tbh :P

But a 6 year old kid is different to a Chav, or any queue jumper that thinks there better than everyone else and therefore doesn't have to queue for a ride. :)
