Default "Fast-Lane" extra-special VIP amusement park tickets

Has anybody ever paid the extra fee to get one of those special wrist bands that let you cut in line on every ride in an amusement park? Is it worth it? Good/bad experiences? Do you feel like an enormous asshole the whole day? Do people give you horrible nasty looks every time you cut in-front of them? Are you allowed to spit on all the filthy casuals with regular tickets as you walk by them?

Never good for kids mentalities to have them cut queues/cut corners (imo). Besides, queueing should be part of the day. The scariest rollercoaster shouldn't be something you just walk into... gotta build the hype and anticipation while waiting [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Personally I always laugh at the businessmen who pay for the red carpet treatment on a flight. They get to cut the queue to get on but is waiting 5-10 minutes to sit down really an issue worth paying all the extra over? You take off and land at the same time as everyone else etc.

Which park are you going to? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I guess fast track tickets are basically the RMT of amusement parks.

i bought these at six flags once with a bunch of nerdy white ppl


We were getting on that water ride with the circular raft and walked past this huge family of Mexicans in pretty hood clothes and so forth that was at the front of the regular line. When we passed by this huge scary gangster-lookin dude in a wifebeater says "UN APPLAUDO" and the whole lot of them start clapping for us boarding early. I realized i wanted no part of this ever again.

Do the fast pass. It's good to teach your kids that it's better to be rich than poor. Too much rich hating these days.

I went to universal studios like 10 years ago and we had express passes. i dont know how it works everywhere but at universal studios they had express lanes and normal lane, obviously the express lane got you in a whole lot QUICKER. Did i feel like a dick jumping in front of 100+ of people? Hell no, its my money if i can afford it im going to going to buy express passes every time.

TLDR: Buy the passes and thank me later.
