I went to the Guest Services section and found this:

THE FLASH PASS
The Flash Pass allows guests to bypass a majority of the ride line on select attractions. Get The Flash Pass in Hometown Square next to the Grand Music Hall. Passes can sell out quickly, visit The Flash Pass Sales Center for more information.

Is this just like Fast Pass? Where you only get a few rides? Or is it the entire day for the select attractions? I am assuming its the same as fast pass but with a new name. Could someone key me in on this?

Flash Pass? Hmmm news to me.....

[RagingBullFan]

Flash pass is exactly the same as Fast Pass, just renamed/rebranded with the character The Flash.

Hmm, well thats interesting. Anyone have more information on it?

Considering the park hasn't released any...there's no reason that any of us would.

I'm sure it's the exact same as last year, but Shapiro probably wanted FastLane rebranded to build on the "streetmosphere"-based rebranding project across the parks.

Basically, it's the new name for FastLane.

Actually it has. At least for parks with the Lo-Q based system, others should follow suit.

Wow! I may be dumb, that looks pretty complex. Does it plan your whole day? Maybe i read that website wrong.

You can basically reserve times for the ride. So you don't have to wait in line. That way you can stop by the ride and scan your pass and reserve your time. Then you can go and do other things...rides, get something to eat, make a potty...then you can show back up at the ride at the time you reserved and walk right in. At least, that's what it sounded like it was like.

I think some people might have trouble with this new system if we do end up getting it. We'll see how it goes.

I was actually looking for a press release and then article from Motely Fool following suit, but good call.

That would explain all of the electronic boxes that were installed last year on all the rides then. I believe this is a great idea as you can reserve your time for one ride and go ride another! So basically in the time it would take u to get on one ride, you can get on two in the same time frame.
