Ive never used it, but i want Six flags Magic Mountain to incorperate it because its a really good design. I think it is cool

I hate it...it costs too much money...

rct2108 · #4 10-02-2003, 12:02 AM

How much money extra does it cost. I didn't read most of the article and what happens if u put the q-bot in two of the slots for different rides what does it do like does it say u r ready to go on the beast now and then says the other ride when it is your turn.

[i]Worst queueing idea EVER[/i]

slipknot8527 · #6 10-02-2003, 08:23 AM

worst idea ever..just like GP said.

Heres the basic idea of it:

You pay 30 bucks, to wait the same amount of time to ride a ride, but then you have to stand in another line thats accumulated from other QBOTers, and then you get to ride in the very last row.

We tried it when they were free (the very first weekend of 2001) and we hated em.

I would think they are only for large parks and that sucks you can only sit in the last row.

James · #9 10-02-2003, 11:42 AM

at sfne the q-bot seats are the 5th row of each ride.. sros t-bolt and cyclone i think BDK its row 4 yeah....Q-bot is not that bad...unless like 20 of them come at one time and teh op lets them all on..atsfnbe they only let like 4 or 5 per train...most of the time

I thought it was great...I've used it at SFOG and SFGAdv. I had relatives visit and the only day they could go to SFGAdv was a Saturday. Because we rented a QBot, we got to ride everything multiple times. They don't make you take any specific row at SFGAdv (for most rides). Any row but the front is OK on most.

When I was at SFOG (the year SUF opened), the QBot got me out of waiting the 2 hours for SUF and Deja Vu several times. If you only have one day at the park (like most of the GP), it's a great way to avoid lines, and be able to get all the major rides in.

It's great... especially when you get it for free. I don't really understand those who don't like it.

coaster9freak · #12 10-05-2003, 02:47 AM

FastPasses are good. I love those. Q-Bot...bad idea...

DEJA-VU RULES · #13 10-10-2003, 04:01 PM

I think save the 30 bucks and wait in line.

Dr.Bruce Banner · #14 10-11-2003, 01:52 AM

I used it at SFWOA and it came in very handy during the summer season.

Not worth the money, but they are nice if you get it for free.

Diesel · #16 10-11-2003, 11:54 AM

They'd be great, spend the $30 and use the time to do homework.

**Phil** · #17 10-11-2003, 06:22 PM

What? Some of your posts really confuse me Diesel.

slipknot8527 · #18 10-11-2003, 07:13 PM

If they were like 5 bucks, I'd have em...but I solve the line problem by simply *gasp* not going on the weekends!

Ta2KX · #19 11-08-2003, 02:55 AM

You should not have to pay extra to wait in shorter lines. It is unethical, I hate you if you do it, and you made my wait for Deja Vu at SFOG on opening day in 2002 a living nightmare.

whirl n hurl · #20 11-08-2003, 03:06 AM

I always try to go to the parks during the week. The $30 is not worth it to me. I would rather wait in line. Besides, if I ride something multiple times, I tend to get a little sick. Waiting in line gives me enough of a break that I can avoid that.

SFGadvKing · #21 11-08-2003, 12:19 PM

the idea of it is great but for that money, i would never think about buying it. that just shows the differance between disney and six flags.
