UK tourist boards have the privilege on offer so that these children can jump the queue with their friends.

Teachers have criticised the plan, explaining that this will undermine their attempts to encourage patience and it would be a greater advantage for children with ADHD, hyperactive disorder and attention deficit, to learn how to wait.

Kids with ADHD, which has been recognised as a psychiatric condition for 15 years, are offered special passes in most UK theme parks as well as many abroad upon proof of the condition.

Andrea Bilbow, chief executive of the National Attention Deficity Disorder Information and Support Service, claims that the plan avoids tantrums.

She said that Children with ADHD are very impulsive and just can’t cope in a queue or when there is a delay in gratification. Many primary schools let them go ahead at dinner time and it stops scenes, she added.

Miss Bilbow said people who criticise the tactic demonstrated that teachers lacked knowledge  of the condition.

The Disability Discrimination Act forces attractions to cater to the needs of all visitors.

People suffering from ADHD have a 30% “maturity lag” and their mental development is stunted until they reach about 26 years of age.

Marvel’s characters are already involved in a string of complex licensing agreements (Sony Pictures with Spider-Man 4 web-crawling deal for 2011, while 20th Century Fox holds rights to more X-Men projects), but Disney is prepared to participate in a lengthy game. In the short term the company wants to use the likes of Iron Man and Hulk for its theme parks. Disney CEO Bob Iger explains that creative officials from Marvel and Pixar have already met. ‘The groups got excited pretty fast. The sparks will fly.’

Ironically, X-Men and Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee’s company Pow! Entertainment has a first look agreement with Disney. ‘I couldn’t be happier with this agreement,’ he says. ‘From every possible point of view, the merger of Disney and Marvel is a match made in heaven.’

Disney has convinced analysts that it plans to let Marvel have artistic control for its properties. Although Marvel’s top characters are valuable to Disney’s movie, theme park and home entertainment businesses, the future will tell if the family-oriented media giant will lend a supportive hand to Marvel’s comic book undertakings in the long term. Could this agreement signify the end of Marvel as a comic book player?
