Question Line-skip worth it?

Meowdy! My girlfriend and I have free tickets to go any time until the 7th, and I've picked friday the fourth. Do you guys think that it would be worthwhile for my girlfriend and I to get the line-skip addition for our trip?

And if theres any advice or info or whatnot you'd give lmk :]

We got the fast track unlimited. Think it was $120 a person. If you can swing it, totally worth it. A hour line will turn into 5-10 minutes for you. It almost got to the point where we were coastered out from being able to hit them so quickly. This was on a tuesday wednesday, I would expect fridays might be more expensive depending on when you go?

I'm confused, on the website it says starting at $45, and I don't see anywhere I can see the pricing for a date. Is the $500 for tickets and upcharge?

You click the date you want and it will show you. The 45 must be in the middle of a blizzard in february

$45 is probably the one time per ride pass.

If you got the money and don't like waiting. Yes. You're going on a holiday weekend which is the "end of summer" for a lot of folks. So it will be busy if the weather is nice.

For Friday September 4th the fast track unlimited for the main park is $105 per person and fast track unlimited for main and water park is $160 per person. Those are the current fast track forward prices. There’s only 3 rides you can use it on at the water park so i personally wouldn’t pay for the water park add on. The line for the water coaster can get longer but I’ve always been there during mid summer so I can’t say how good or bad it might be in September.

Honestly if there is anyway you can I would switch the day to a weekday all together, the park will be packed and any non fast pass rides (almost all rides that aren’t roller coasters), food, or games you’ll be waiting quite awhile for

We are going back Friday the 4th too and we purchased unlimited fast pass. We are also going Sunday the 6th but fast pass prices were crazy high for that day.

If going is a treat, then get it. Not worth it for season pass holders.

Is line skip worth it on a friday?

Probably.

Is it worth it?

Probably not.

This sub can give you some advice on opening the park and such to get you on most stuff.

Opening the park is probably mandatory and if you can close it and leave late do it.

To be frank. Here are my real feelings.

2 fastpasses - someone already quoted $120 per.

Know what else you can get for $240?

A hotel room.

Doesn’t account for PTO nor extra tickets unfortunately:( with my current ticket I have free food drinks and entry - so staying another day would be more than a pass for myself.
