That would be cool. It would highly increase the amount of rides you can ride for the day
It only schedules 1 ride at a time... Though you can scan multiple rides, it won't schedule them until you complete the first ride. After your first ride, then it will schedule the next ride that you scanned.

The only the park that has it to my knowledge is SfOG, I used it there and it is much better then fastlane. but much more expensive. I dout any parks will ever get it as Lo-Q is out of bussiness.
SFWOA has it. its awsome :D

On the other hand, the philosophy behind Lo-Q is that people will be spending more money on shops and stores (the park's major moneymakers) than they would if they were in line... plus, imagine a group of 6 people... for FastLane, that's an additional $70 revenue. They would very quickly make beck they original outlay.

I'm not sure, but I think at SFSL its around 15-20 dollars and you get up to six people per qbot. I could be wrong. I dont have my park map handy.

So it's basically like Fastpass at DL/DW right???You come back between a certian time frame to ride a ride, BUT you don't automatically jump to the front of the line. You wait at least a good 15-20 minutes.

that sounds cool....and a lot better than fast lane.......this kind of sounds like the handicap pass, you go up the exit get it signed, dont stand in line, BUT wait just as long. i think id try it once, but not an every-visit thing, i would spend that much money!

If you go in a group it is cheaper than fastlane. If your in a group of 4 and you split the cost of the rental, it wouls coast each person $12.50. I would much rather get q-bot than fastlane. The only way it is more expensive is if you go by yourself.

HiIm a stock holder of LOQ in England the designers and suppliers of qbots.The company is very much in business but money is tight. LOQ are having a great summer but probably need a new contract to survive the winter.The company is only worth 1.5 million dollars yet will generate around 8 million dollars for sixflags this summer alone.They do still own 50% of the atlanta installlation and 30% of the others. I am led to believe LOQ is in talks with Dollywood.Hassle the park manager to demand LOQ qbots for their park next summer. I'll be laughing all the way to the bank.GBwww.lo-q.com

It has to be better than the paper fastlane... instead of just paying to skip the line, you're actually waiting the same amount of time, you're just paying for the privilage to be out of line for most of that time. Makes sense to me!
