Early Entering Question

I am heading to the point this week for the first time this year. Sadly we are not staying in one of their resorts this year. I know that resort guest and joe cool get in at 9 to ride select rides. I also know they let everyone in at 9:30. When they do this is the general public that enters then able to get on these select rides or do they actually check and make sure you are staying in a resort or a joe cool member until 10? I wanted to get there around 9 or 9:30 but if I am going to get there and wait outside a que entrance until 10 I might change my mind.

No once they let you in at 9:30 you are free to start riding.

That is usually the case Raptor1116. When I was there back in June, TTD wasn't running (surprise, surprise) and that morning they gave us Millennium Force and Mantis. At 9:30, the ride op working the entrance at the Mantis would not let anyone into the queue without showing proof of being either a Joe Cool Club member or resort guest until the ride officially opened at 10:00.

All the other times I've been there, they've given us M.F. and Raptor and the Raptor ride-op lets everyone into the queue at 9:30 when the gates open regardless of who you are. So I guess it depends on the person and the ride and how they interpret the early ride time policy, whatever that might be.

Out of the past 3 years i've gone as a resort guest, I've never once been asked to show resort card, etc to get into an early queue. But then again the only rides i've done in the morning are Dragster and MF. It probaly just depends on the employee but majority of the time its seems that they just let people in.
