[QUOTE="lauralethal93, post: 2083283, member: 509521"] Hello everyone, here with a very specific question for you all! I have an appointment on Friday where I'm finally being told whether I'm getting a pump or not (only been waiting a year for it.....). I've looked at the pros and cons of pumps and I, without a doubt, do want one. I just have one very specific concern with it - How do I make a pump work with rollercoasters? I'm a rollercoaster enthusiast and I regularly travel to Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Blackpool, etc. I'm a stickler for not going on a rollercoaster unless my pockets are empty so how do I get this to work with a pump? I don't fancy losing my pump at the bottom of the pits that some coasters sit in.... I've had a quick glance and found that I may be able to get the disabled passes but as someone who uses fastrack a lot, the pass would be useless to me. I know that pumps can be disconnected but what's the max. amount of time with that? I normally carry a bag into queues with me so the pump can go in there while I'm riding the coaster. Anyone else have experience with this and just shed some light on it please? It's my biggest concern considering that half my life is currently spent on these massive rides! [/QUOTE]
