In one disturbing incident, a kid in a chair and his brother were trying to merge. Most of the people just ignored them and would not let him in until I got to that point and let them by (about 10 people I'd say). Worst of all, a security guard was standing about 5 feet from us and did nothing.
In 2000 they usually had 2 people working entrance on MF, one during the standard duty, and one stamping special access. They special access person would lead the people to the ramp and help them get in line. In 2001 this disappears.
They really need to either go back to having 2 at entrance because sometimes that position is overwhelming. Even better yet, have a security guard stand at that point at all times. It's the best position to view the queue and they can help them merge with the line.
It really sucks that some are making life harder on some of these people when their life is hard enough.
Do you mean that a 'special access' passenger has to go up the outside ramp of the queue and merge in at the bottom of the ramp, rather than entering through the exit and going up that ramp? If so, it's perfectly understandable that people doing that would be ignored or worse by people waiting in line because people waiting in line have no idea what is going on. If the idea is to merge people into the regular queue at the base of the ramp, then there needs to be an escort at that point. Particularly if the person merging in is ambulatory, because otherwise it just looks like your ordinary garden variety queue jump.

That seems kind of stupid, because then people will think its cool to throw gum from anywhere in the park, like say the top of Magnum's lift or something. People just need to learn to use the trashcans as there are over 2000 of them distributed throughout the park for convenience. I challenge someone to find a spot at CP that is more than about ten steps from a trashcan!
Another pet peeve of mine is how smokers always throw their butts on the ground, sometimes stepping on them, and then walking away. How many times do you see a smoker stomp out his or her butt and then bend their a$$ over and pick it up and deposit it in the nearest oil dry spot availible at most ride entrances. I realize that it probably isn't safe to throw butts into the trash when they're not completely extinguihed, but this seems like a form of littering that is somehow socially acceptable. Am I the only one who is bothered by this? Perhaps CP could have some of the "butt-out" spots at a place other than ride entrances. I'm not even sure if it would make a difference since most people just are in such a habit of tossing the butt aside on the ground.

Why not just remove the que railing and add fun facts! Or even history facts of CP, or MF's construction. This will give guests something to look at and read in line. If done right it should fit in real well. although make it modern and well kept up, not like those Pepsi signs that are faded and sit in front of some ride entrances.

Exactly Rideman
The special access "route" runs in that single queue line by then fence. They must then merge at the bottom of the ramp with the regular traffic. Some of the people who use special access have no visible signs of needing it (they may be diabetic, leg problems, mentally handicapped, etc.). Most people I see challenge them (Usually with a "what the hell are you doing?") and then the special accesses must try to explain, usually be showing them their special access book. Still, some morons don't get the concept and give them a hard time. The worse people are those when someone in a wheelchair, on crutches, in a brace, etc., comes up and they still give them a hard time and don't understand this concept.
During this whole time I am normally witness this in the upper most part of the queue have to refrain myself from jumping out of my spot in line and giving them a piece.
On a few occasions this year, there have been 2 people at entrance and one ride host escorts them to the ramp and explains. Due to lack of staffing, this normally is not the case.
