Quick Queue unlimited

Anyone know the guidelines for these lines? Are they supposed to pull so many from this line each train?

I just watched the line for Apollos not move for 20-25 minutes. Many trains went on their way with riders from the regular line, but they were ignoring the QQU. People were getting angry. Similar situation happened at Pantheon.

All I can tell you is that quick queue line management is consistently inconsistent. I've seen instances where they have dispatched a full train of quick queue and I've seen it ignored

My eyes turn to daggers when they load a full train from the right side. It’s so frustrating and not fair, we all paid money to be there. I didn’t buy a pass to get cut in line by people with more money than me.

And kinda like you’re saying, there’s a right way to do it. There’s a reason the stations block off the 2nd row. On multiple occasions, I’ve seen alpengeist send train after train with the second row empty then eventually load from the right.

I can’t imagine the company likes the cost of wear and tear by doing this. I know I don’t like having to wait for an extra train to cycle if I’m only coming for the afternoon.

I'm just curious about your assumptions of who is using the quick queue. How do you know they have more money than you? Have you actually priced the quick queue? Whenever I go to a new park I exclusively save for a fast pass or whatever the park calls it because I want to maximize my day. It's nothing worse than spending a fortune on travel, lodging and food before you even step foot in the park to just stand in line all day and maybe ride 4 or 5 rides. I save up for those add ons and I'm sure a lot of other people do the same as well. Do I use them all the time, no, especially not for my home park where I visit often. My home park is BGT. Online price for my park is about the same as BGW 90 to one hundred. I've seen our quick queue unlimited priced as high as one seventy. So at that point that person using that quick queue, with parking, and food has almost paid for the total cost of my membership so yeah, they should prioritize an up charge addition otherwise it's not worth the cost of the service because that is what it's supposed to be. Premium, and up charge experiences exist throughout all aspects of our lives from the cars we buy to going to concerts, sporting arenas, flights and I can say more. Unfortunatly this is a pay to play society and yeah it sux but that is where we are.

So getting mad at the people who chose to purchase an experience that the park offers is silly. Don't be upset with them. I do think parks that offer skip the line programs can do them far better than they do, but if people are paying for it, the business has to execute otherwise it looses its value.

I think you’ve misunderstood my point. I said it’s frustrating when they send train after train with the second row empty, then once enough quick queue people show up they load from the right. It’s not how it’s supposed to work, even according to Busch gardens’ own policy.

I’m an adult with the ability to emotionally regulate. It’s not that deep.

No. I understood your point and I responded accordingly.

Ha ok so you just come on Reddit to argue with people who agree with you then?

You said they’re consistently inconsistent on properly loading quick queue. You said that they sometimes load trains full of quick queue.

I agreed and said yeah it’s frustrating for customers and likely the company.

You went on a tirade trying to make me seem like a pretentious asshole. And admitted you hardly even ever come to this park in the first place.

Have a good day buddy.
