    oh maybe it was because it was quite (well quite for Alton Towers) But they were very strict on who had a red wrist band.

    i believe you. I just cant understand why they would write something
    on there web site and then do something different. is your disability being blind or do you have others as well.

    i am only blind ... no other disabilities.
    i am aware of what it says on the webdite, but to be honest, i think the last thing you want in a packed queue, with steps up and down, is a blind person!
    its an accident ( and possiblly a claim) waiting to happen.
    they cover themselves by saying that a white wristband is available in the hope that people wont bother queuing for something that doesnt actuallu give them any benefit.
    so if the disabled person doesnt declare their disability, then the theme park had no way of knowing and accomodating them .....
