Captain Nemo Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Two rides I find surprising that have not had a Speed Lane line built is Face Off and Flight of Fear. Flight of Fear may work if they added another train to increase capacity. Face-Off is one of those rides that are hard to make a speed lane for. That ride itself needs to work hard to get the line moving at a good pace. Now the crew this year is doing a great job and the line has been moving quite well so it could work. But why buy a speed pass when you can just go on a day the park is not crowded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Maybe PKI should have speed lines, and when the park is really croweded they could use them. Normally the lines are that bad just to wait it out. With the excepiton of a few rides. Face/Off Drop Zone and maybe Delirium, and Tomb Raider.

coasterking123456 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 There should definatly have speed passes because italian job was the only ride they did that on but they didnt do it for other new rides like Delirium and SOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 They have Speed lane for Gold Pass ONLY on Beast SDATHC WTRA (flume) IJST And your choice of Drop zone or Delirium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterking123456 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Why not every ride in the park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersNSich Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Why not every ride in the park? Not every ride has great demand, for one. You can get on Top Gun, Adventure Express, Racer (uh, maybe) and Vortex relatively quickly because of good capacitty - especially on busy days. Also, only those select rides had special entrances and/or lanes created for this purpose - because of their popularity and/or slightly lower capacity. If the new Cedar Fair owners decide to ditch the "Speed Lane" or any reservation system, I would be OK with that: as long as they do their best to send trains/vehicles quickly, and fill every available seat. Having a single rider line on the Stunt Track, Delirium, Drop Zone (maybe others too) would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI_Diana Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 And finally they need a system of signs throughout the park that display updated ride wait times (or if the ride is running) like they have at Universal. That would save me the trouble if i just got of The Beast- i wouldnt have to walk across the park to see if Delirium has opened back up or not -- or if SoB's lines have died down yet. The problem would be keeping it updated to the minute. Now THAT is a good idea. You win the PKIC Nobel Peace Prize of the day. How about marquis around the park with ride closures and wait times? I love it. It'd be like the AIRPORT at PKI. Good idea, but I REALLY don't see it ever happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Today if they were a speed pass available they would have been no need for it. Flight of Fear and IJ:ST were the longest lines today. Everything else was a walk on, except maybe a 1 or 2 train (cycle) wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else was a walk on, except maybe a 1 or 2 train (cycle) wait. Speed Lane is available Saturdays and Sundays only, now (June) through mid-August. They expect Saturdays (and sometimes, Sundays) to be the busiest days, obviously. I got my Speed Lane tickets last Saturday, though they were redundant because of the light crowds due to the light rain and cool temps.

Captain Picard Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 How are they giving them out this year? Last year they gave a pass to you for 9pm when you was there at 10am. They was wanting to keep you there longer but it don't work for me. If I was going to be there 12 hrs I don't see a need for speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
