There  was a gentleman in a wheelchair who sat in front of us,
and we could not  see around him.  This has happened to us before because
some of the  chairs sit so high up.  


A few years ago my wife and I visited Universal Studios Park in  Orlando.  My 
wife was having real problems with her feet due to planter's  wart and heel 
spurs.  So when we arrived we picked up a wheelchair.   The story about how 
much fun we had there could have been, "Wait in line...drag  Mary...wait in 
line...drag Mary".  But it wasn't!  As soon as we  arrived in a line for a show, a 
theme park custodian would spot us and whisk us  to a side entrance and plant 
us in the front row, merely to wait in cool comfort  until the show began.  As 
the day went on, at times Mary wanted to stretch  her legs for a while so I 
became the paraplegic.  Great way to cool your  heels!  From now one when I 
visit one of those big theme parks, I'm going  with crutches!!
