My boyfriend and I are multi-year Gold Pass holder...

My boyfriend and I are multi-year Gold Pass holders and we love Valley Fair. We usually go during the summer a couple of times a week during the week so we can avoid the long lines and crowds. Let me be clear, we absolutely love Valley Fair and our time spent there during the week when it's slow.

Last night we decided to invite some friends for the adult night Hot-Dish and Hops. Pretty dismayed by the long lines, but we realize we've been spoiled by choosing such off-peak hours typically.

Here is where I have a major problem. There is no one to control people smoking in lines or line cutters. Line cutters are probably the worst of the bunch though. They jump over the railings and my friend got kicked in the ribs as someone tried to get over the railings. They push past you as if you waiting in line means nothing. They invite more and more of their friends so while it doesn't seem like a big deal, simple math tells you they just added some time to your already long wait.

I'm the non-confrontational type; however, there were multiple instances where someone in line was becoming visibly agitated and I was worried they were the confrontational type. At this point, nothing would be worse than to have a fight break out and while you're in line surrounded by waist high gates and people. Seems dangerous.

I will re-iterate; I love Valley Fair. I find a great amount of fun there. But I should only have an adrenaline rush on the rides, not when I'm waiting in line and it looks like I might get stuck between a fight with no escape.
