I AM DEAF. I NEED TO HAVE FOR RIDES.
My deaf friend wrote his simple and short sentences in the paper to show the staff at guest service near main entrance in Busch Gardens Europe (in Williamsburg, VA), one of most beautiful theme park in the world.
He is going to try to convict the guest service to allow us to cut the queue line times, go through exit door from train station to take a ride on roller coaster in no time. Think of handicap as deaf. The guest service said OK, gave the special permission of note to him. Whoo, it worked! We made cut the queue line on seven different rides in less than two hours.
I asked my friend if he have done with this in different amusement park. That is what he has been done before: Cedar Point - NO. Kennywood - NO. Hershey Park - YES. Hmm, I will take a note myself that I can be deaf and dumb when I go gu>est service in Hershey Park sometime in future.
Also my friend asked the guest service to request the ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter for show times, and the staff said "Did you call to make an appointment?" He said no. Also we learned that we need make a request for appointment to call 48 hours before (?) for no cost. Yes, you heard it - it's free!

Ok, please be patient with me. I am a student who is in an interpreter program. Wouldn't this be like a step backwards, culturally. I mean we are learning in our Deaf Culture studies that being dDeaf it's not a handicap it's just a difference. Please help me to understand.
