I had a VIP pass to Universal when I went in California- I had been a part of the taping for the Richard Simmons Dreammaker show and one of the interns called over to universal and put me on some list. I only had 4 hours to do the entire park and I will say that I got to do all of the rides and see what I wanted to see on that pass- I was even riding on rides all by myself at times. It was cool to be brought through "secret" doors and down utility halls to the ride instead of lines- but it felt wrong at the same time- you could tell that others had spent a long time in lines.
I just think that when you choose to be a public figure you have sold your soul to the public and its just part of what you are being paid for!
I agree woohoo, although it must be so good to not have to wait in line and to be able to ride every ride, there is an element of unfairness about this.
Some years ago, it was reported that Victoria Beckham had staff at a zoo evacuate the public so that baby Beckham could look round privately-what a nerve! I mean I can understand an element of security surrounds some major public figures but the Beckhams.........puhleez!!
