does it ever occur to anybody how long it takes to get to superman ride because of the boarding pass and why have fastlane if you can't cut in line. On Friday it took me 1 hour when it usually takes me 35 minutes. the bad thing is also is that the lady that taking the boarding pass and fastlane at the same time was only letting like 10 people at a time. So when the train was going up i counted at least 9 or 10 empty seats.
how come they don't do that for the other rides. Ragin Cagin is longer wait. they used to do it like 5 years ago, but like i was saying you shouldn't let fastlane people in right away they should wait 10 min. before letting them in.

They do that in other rides when its long. Like Ragin Bull sometimes gets long but they dont usually do that. And Rajun Cajun is only one passanger per time so they cant really do that. Theres only one cart available basically.
Alot of people in line with me were getting mad that they see fastland people cut in front of them. Mabye someday someone will start a fight over that. Some people have low tolerence for cutters.
In my opinion is that fast lane people buy waste their time and money to do that. Its allowed and no reason to get mad for. The people that get mad should just be quite because the had the chance to buy the pass and didnt take the time. They came early and bought it. So they had to suffer to not just the people that get mad at the fast lane people.
so you wouldn't be irritated if you waited 2 hours for a ride and in front of you they let 15 people in front of you even if you don't buy one because you think it is a waste of money to buy one

First of all, there are only 8 rows on Superman. Second of all, if she led someone to there row in the station, the line would probably be even longer because she would have to walk up and down the stairs, appoint a row, take boarding passes, and punch fastlane cards. They would be better off with 1 train if they did that. Plus put into account how tired the op would be after only one train. The 9 or 10 seats were probably just because of groups not wanting to pair with another group.
Here is my thought on the whole thing: if you are gonna do that, do it at the top of the stairs right before the station and have another person doing the Fastlane at the bottom of the stairs.
Don't worry I did think about the factor of that they would need more workers. But don't you think special rides deserve special attention?

You could always try to pretend like your with another group.
The real problem here is that you don't need to block up the line on SUF like you should do for Viper, V2, D Vu, and Whizzer. If they want to let the fastline people go first, I'm okay with that. However, after they go, the other people in line should move up the stairs. SUF has four riders per row unlike the above mentioned. When you are in this station packed, it seems like 10 minutes, not five hours (unless front row).

I like Superman's Fastlane just how it is. Same with Whizzer and any ride where they take Fastlane at the station. Batman is the one that bugs me because the employee just sort of looks for a gap and holds out his hand and says "Excuse me, these people need to go first" On Superman, I never feel like they are cutting because we (the regular riders) and the Fastlane people go up to the station together. Actually, at Superman, they were only letting 4 Fastlane riders at a time, so there was actually like a 10 minute wait for Fastlane people.

Are you saying that they should take boarding passes at the top of the stairs and Fastlane comes in at the bottom? If so and it is what I think you mean it won't work because the fastlane people won't have a boarding pass to hand to the worker and they will not know if they are cutting or not or from fastlane. They can't show thier fastlane card because they could just be cutting and have a fully used fastlane card so that won't work. The only way that could work is if the fastlane people got another specail boarding pass but that would only waste more paper money time and eveything. This is a bad idea.
