Are those that already bought Prestige getting the shaft once again?

I did go to Carowinds, since it saved quite a bit on 3 passes with fastlanes, but I find Carowinds a lackluster park. This was my second trip and I probably won't go back. I would of went to Kings Dominion,  but they wasn't open this past Friday and their hours was short, but Kings Dominion IMO is such a better park.

And not having fastlane wristbands was a hassle.  You have to log in to a website each day, add all 3 season passes to it, click redeem on each. It's a strange policy, because if you have people in your group, you could alternate fastlanes with them, because when you go to enter a ride, they scan my phone,  see it has 3 fastlanes and let us 3 in, they don't check who's fastlanes they are.

Why wouldn't they have that feature available in the app?

Were you on park wifi or your cellular service and if on cellular did you ever experience any slowness due to number of people in the park?

Idk why they don't have it on the app, it's silly, and you have to repeat the process each day. The first day I used my data, but the second day it was slow, so I connected to the wifi which was fine. Then, you choose which ride you want to ride on the website and click redeem and it gives you a QR code

Here's the website you link your passes for fastlane https://ca.sffastlane.com/

Almost as bad as when Coasters at CP had app ordering yet you had to type in season pass numbers for each order instead of the app being able to pull it up.

I believe the reasoning for tying the new Fast Lane system to a website instead of the Six Flags app is because the website(s) can communicate with whatever server(s) better than the app. It's a bad system, but I think it's still early in development. I would much prefer it if they made FL Ultimate a wristband-based pass and gave guests a way to use FL Reserve from their phone or a kiosk (also using a wristband). Anything to get guests off of their phones where possible.

I went to KD for their opening day this past weekend. I have been to plenty of legacy Six parks to experience their Flash Pass system, so I knew what to expect going in. The employees working the FL queues with the new phone-based scanners seemed to be well versed in how to scan people in, but the issues arose in those guests that entered the Fastlane queue before their countdown timers had expired. The employees were letting them simply stand in line until their QR code became available- forcing those who had their QR codes ready to go to wait several additional minutes- sometimes 10-15. Both TT and Pantherian were running one train (and kept shredding wheels... again), which compounded the issue. 

The QR codes do scan quickly, and they do seem to have the FL queues adequately staffed. It was easy to make a reservation in the app, though like many have said I did not like having to have my phone on me. To lap Twisted Timbers, this required me to get my phone out of the locker every time I wanted to enter the fastlane queue- rather than just store my phone in the locker for several rides like you can with a wristband. For me, that is the biggest drawback. 

I also experienced difficulty getting the all season FL on my pass to activate- after entering the park, the FL website still said I was not present in the park. I had to go to the premium experience center to get them to manually activate my FL reservations- which took nearly 30 minutes for them to figure out. I was glad Accesso was present to work through the bugs the first day. 

I did receive a survey after my visit- where I also left this feedback.
