IOA Line Cut System

BimmerZ3 · #1 05-28-2002, 05:49 PM

Ok, i'm planning a trip to IOA sometime next week. i want to know exactly how their version of the Fast Pass works. I'm going during the week, either Tuesday or Wednesday.

1. Where is it located in the park?
2. How much does it cost?
3. How many tickets can you get at a time?
4. Does it assign a time?
5. Do the machines run out of tickets part way through the day?
6. Once you get them, is there a long line in the Fast Pass line?
7. Is it worth it?

Thanx

Moving to Travel Tips...

I'd say, actually, if you're going on Tuesday / Wednesday, it might be more trouble than it's worth. If you start at Hulk and Spiderman as soon as the park opens, then head back quickly to Dueling Dragons for a lap on each side, you won't be waiting more than 10-15 minutes for each anyway. That way you've done them all and can slow down and take your time to see the park at a more leisurely pace. But have fun, that's the most important thing!

That's alot of questions. I'd suggest visiting the dis boards and lurking the existing threads since your trip is so close.

1. Machines are located near the ride you want an express pass for.
2. It's free.
3. You can get 1 ticket at a time. Hotel guests get unlimited express passes and don't have to wait at the machines. They just flash their magic key and go into the express line.
4. You get to pick from two times from a touch screen kiosk.
5. Yes, the machines for the popular rides run out of tickets at noon.
6. No, once you get the tickets, the express line is 20 minutes or less, usually a walkon.
7. Yes, it's worth it. But you'll only be using it once or twice during your day. It's definately worth it to stay on site during peak times, but those hotels cost alot of money.

Best advice is like Melissa said. Get to the park half an hour before the gate opens. Then run to Hulk, Spiderman, Dr. Doom, then head back to Deuling Dragons.
