All Season Fast Lane for $849

During 2017 the lines of every BIG Roller Coaster were all walk ons. People wasted their money. The Maverick was 5m. The Longest was the M. Force which was 15m.

I must have totally gone to the wrong park in 2017.

What I wouldn't give though for season long 5 and 15 minute waits on "The Maverick" and "the M. Force". Wait a minute. I wouldn't give $849 :P

It wasn't everyday. It was most all Fridays during HALLOWEEKENDS. It was during School Times too.

K, well that’s not what you said. It’s pretty common knowledge that Halloweekends Fridays are dead and Fastlane would be a waste of money.

I sure didn't think so. With the Platinum pass discount the Halloweekend Friday night FL was only $65. Even on the earlier season, slower Fridays the Steel Vengeance line was never less than 45 minutes. FL line was walk-on. I think I rode it 10 times. Well worth $65, not to mention the use I got out of it for the others.

I’d get it if I was a young single professional.

More or less this. :) Family price? $3,400. I suppose there was a time in my life when this would have been appealing, but that ship sailed. When did it leave the dock? I haven't a clue....

Now as a few days go by I think more and more about this and perhaps getting it. I live 50 minutes away but I am in a point in my life where I can go many many times a season, and I can afford this big splurge, I can easily do 40 trips even more, I will certainly get more than the value out of all season fast lane. And being a single rider will only pay for me.

I then think though if last year's attendance is sorta similar, it really won't be all the time saving May, June, and September (it will save time don't get me wrong but those were the lowest attendance months from my observations). it would be amazing July, August, and October (some of those HalloWeekends Fridays had pretty sizable crowds).

Like I said earlier, this would be wonderful for Maverick, TTD, and Valravn, and would be the greatest of course with SV.

One last thing I really would enjoy is I certainly won't feel a need to arrive in the morning to enjoy shorter lines, just arrive in noon/afternoon and stay til close and enjoy my night owl self.

I doubt I'd purchase this but I'm ok with it. I've stayed at lots of hotels in my life. Knights Inn, Days Inn, Hilton, Bed & Breakfasts, an Italian castle once...and the recently named most romantic hotel in the US down in Key West. In some cases I just wanted a bed to lay down in and in other cases I wanted to splurge on an experience. There aren't going to be a lot of people who will bite this apple; certainly not enough for everyone else to be concerned that THEIR experience will be ruined because of it.

Halloweekend Fridays are no longer the unofficial ERT sessions they used to be. If the weather is nice, the causeway can back up and the parking lot can be full.

If I was still local, I would absolutely get this. It’s half a paycheck and would be a worthy investment for sure.

Cheaper than I expected for all-season FL+ at Point but still too rich for me.

I am curious if they will sell out the allotted amount and if that may change the price point in the future. Also curious to see if a "discounted" pass will appear mid-way through the season if they don't sell out.

Is the limit of 500 sold really true? Where did you get this information?

Internal document put out a few days before it was announced publicly.

<snip> Just a lot of my snarky output. Not necessary.

I'd imagine there are quite a few folks who live close enough to the park to be passholders but may live far enough away and have "normal" work schedules that mean they generally can only visit on weekends. I could see this as being a viable option for them if they can afford it.

Just read ImpulsivePhoenix's comments.

I could have written that word for word. Single rider living about 35 minutes away and go 40 or so times. Usually first thing in the morning to hit my favorites before the crowds hit. Much prefer going to the park in the evening when it is darker and cooler. It's a steep cost but I would enjoy it very much. I am retired and can afford to spoil myself some now.

It's definitely for people in a higher tax bracket than me, that's for sure. I can see it being valuable to someone who has a very well paying job with an inflexible schedule that sucks. Someone who may go to the park frequently but has little choices over what days they will be there like always having off on Saturday when the place is packed. Someone like me with a job that doesn't pay so hot but has a break for the summer does not need it.

Right now I'm trying to get the all season FL+, but my pass can't be verified for some reason.

Same problem.

I am taking a good guess everyone is having an issue. I try for the heck of it adding on funpix and it works so I think it's obviously not in yet or overload of people trying to get it possibly too...

just got in

What did I just spend. Oh boy All Season Fast Lane + really happening.
