[IrishBuckeyeI think Intamin should make a donkey!]

I think the complaining about fastlane is completely overblown.

I wasn't there on opening day, but I would imagine the waits were simply due to the opening day crowds. I can remember waiting 45 minutes for Blue Streak one year when I visited opening day. Yesterday, the lines were really short all day, and only once did I spot someone using fastlane, while walking through the Magnum's queue. I don't think any ride was more than a 30 minute wait yesterday. Near the end of the day, Maverick was a near walk on.

From what little I've seen so far, I think this is a system that CP is gonna make work really well, both for those interested in getting it, as well as it not having a huge impact on those who won't.

TBH though, the Dragster FL needs to be changed, it's simply not fair unless it's running at full capacity all day every day.

^You do realize that they let regular guests into the front station when there aren't any FL people to fill the train, right?

[alpengeist04Why do I still have a donkey title???]

Heck, the FP is worth it just for TTD, MF, and Maverick. ...Any other ride is just a plus, imo.

[KI KiddHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

^So true. I would pay $50 for Fast Lane if it were only those three rides without blinking.

You nailed it on the head. The first time you walk all the way past a completely full TTD queue and only have to wait for the few other peoria that are using Fast Lane at that time, you realized that the 50 bucks has just paid for itself. Also, keep in mind that this is just opening weekend and they are still experimenting with the implementation of the system. So, how they load TTD could still change if it proves to seriously hurt the capacity.

[smartestcoasterkidever!X is the best. Tatsu sucks.]

Yesterday, I managed to walk-on to the front row of Raptor, "magic seat" on Blue Streak, and back row of Wicked Twister. Waited 30 minutes for MF and TTD. Today, I waited 15 for MF and 30 for TTD. I rode Mean Streak twice today and it wasn't actually that bad!!! Not perfectly smooth but actually pretty tolerable, hence why I rode it twice.
