Freeway on TTD

i have a qustion.

I have been on mf back in 2000 and it is my best ride still. by brother was at the time to afraid to ride but i have since converterd him to an enthusiast. we will be visiting the park on the 20-21st of aug and want him to expeariance MF befor drag because i dont want it to over shaddow MF.

with what you have all said above i am not sure if this is clever. some help please.

In my opinion, the rides are too different to worry about one overshadowing the other. TTD is obviously a really intense thrillling ride, where MF is like an intense classic coaster.

I love em both.

FreeWay on Top Thrill Dragster...

Guys, I used to do FreeWay passes for Park Operations. And the best I've heard is, as soon as Dragster can run consistantly at 1600 riders per hour minimum. Then, just maybe then they would consider FreeWay passes.

Millennium Force is, and always will be my favorite.

I have yet to been to the park while TTD has been running. I saw the booth, but how long before the stamps are gone on TTD? Would you suggust going straight to TTD or riding Millie and Mantis first thing before getting in line for TTD stamps and/or rides.


Thanks.

Let's pretend that freeway stamps were used on TTD. Like MF, they would be gone in about 15 min after park opens to the general public. You can't go ride a ride and then return to get your hand stamped. They will be gone. Best bet to have the best use of your time is to quickly get your hand stamped first, then hop in line for some other coaster, and return when the stamp tells you to.

If there's bugs on your shirt, you had a good ride.

Because this has been such a debated topic, I decided to research this issue myself. Everytime I called or asked about the Freeway passes, different employees at the park, online and on the phone say that it will PROBABLY not be used until next season.

The keyword is probably, that means that they don't expect to open it any time this year.

With the Exit Passes, people who recieve them can go up the stairs at the exit and load the train before it wheels forward to the loading platform. I have seen a few people walk pass me with Exit Passes through the freeway line. They are little pink tickets that say "exit pass" on them. I picked a discarded one up while I was exiting the ride. It is just a regular ticket like you get out of the arcade games. At least that is what I saw.

Life has it's ups and downs, might as well make it on a coaster!

My TTD pass from coastermania says "We apologize that your day was interrupted..." and goes on to tell me that I should go through the freeway queue.

Said pass is green, is nowhere near as small as an arcade ticket, and does not say "exit pass" anywhere on it.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As I have said before, I used to work on the FreeWay passes this season. The "Double Blue" as we call them for FreeWay even comes on here from time to time. And I think she could verify what I had said earlier.

The silver tags in Park Operations have detirmined that they have absolutely no intention of issueing FreeWay passes until Dragster runs at 100% capacity consistantly. Just imagine getting your one of two FreeWay passes for Dragster, and it breaking down for that hour.

The policy for FreeWay is if the ride goes down for maintenence, then the passes are not to be honored. With the exception of Ride Operators discretion. Most the rides however do not have a problem honoring the passes later on. I imagine with the intense lines on Dragster when it is properly functioning, that they would turn the FreeWay passes away.

Just imagine 300 people from two hours of downtime trying to use their FreeWay at once, when the ride finally got back up. FreeWay would be rendered useless for the following hour or two.

Yeah i guess we all know now that they have a freeway pass booth next to dragster, but is never open

------------------
TTD: 2 (Rollbacks seen: 1)
MF: 15
WT: 6
Usually at CP: every mon, tuesday, thursday

I also have a freeway pass from Coastermania, strange thing is, the ride operator was more than happy to allow me to use it, in fact, many times have they done this, I have never used it simply because I plan to wait for a longer line on TTD, and then hopefully wait half that...maybe..
