Plinko game

Did they get rid of the game you could win passes to cut in any line for?

No. $5 for 2 pucks. There is one by GateKeeper, Valravn, Millennium Force and Maverick

There are 2 spots for a one time use for the Fast Lane line of any ride for 2 people per coupon. The other spots are a plush, $1 off $3 game, 20% off retail, $ off parasailing, etc

Not trying to brag or anything, but I myself have mastered the game of Plinko.

I like that game. Never won a skippy, but I did win a free old-timey photo one year, which was great cuz I'd always wanted to try it. (Sadly, I don't think they do that one anymore. :C )

I've mastered it too. No need to buy fast lane passes, lol.

^^^ Care to share your secret???

Yes, please do! :D

Well technically you are paying $2.50 per fastlane then right? You are still buying the passes, just at a discounted rate. :)

How can you master it? Lol. It's all the luck of the bounce off the pegs.

I wish they'd bring back the middle slot with fast lane. I'd be more willing to play more with the 3rd chance of winning.

Mastering= Walking to the bottom and sticking it in the winning slot LOL!

Well, last year I got 3 out of 5. When I walked up to the guy to get my tickets, he gave me 5 passes to cut in line instead of just 3. Lol! Was awesome.

I believe my record is 34-9 (a win if I walk out with at least one fast lane pass). You just got to be the pegboard. :)

Impressive!

^^^ Is that per 2 puck play???

I mostly do two pucks unless I have a large group. This past weekend though, I used two pucks and nailed both slots.

Canada's Wonderland has this exact thing, only the prizes are much better. You are basically guaranteed a fast lane pass for one particular ride, handful of rides to win from. In addition there was a regular fast lane pass as well.

^^^ Now if only they had a handful worth riding...

My girlfriend and I recently played the Plinko game at Millennium Force, and both tried with 2 pucks each. We both won a Fast Lane Pass. The people in front of us tried a few times and none of them got a pass. 50% win seemed pretty rare to the crowd that was gathered around. Pretty cool idea tho, I'm sure it's a solid quick/cheap money maker for the park.

Speaking of the games, this is a little bit of a silly question but does anyone know what midway game would be the best to try or a trick for winning. They have the secret life of pets animals and there's a Dachshund I'm dying to get since we have 4 real ones at home.

What games are they at? I'm ok at the old milk canister game where you have to toss a softball into it. It's all about the backspin of the ball for it to go in.

Holding the softball in your hand (not underhand, the top of your hand needs to be facing up, with the ball underneath) and with a flick of your hand upward to get the backspin needed for it to drop

Just watch others play for a bit to see what works and what doesn't.
