LOL, so I wasnt the only one!!!

I think hate to fly said that this and hogwarts express will have the express pass

Transformers, Kodos and Kang, Hogwarts Express, and Gringotts will all have Express pass. :thumbs:

Just like FJ had an express queue built right in from day one. There are plans, and then there are realities. :wave:

sorry, couldn't resist...

Yeah built and being open are two totally different things In all seriousness the only ones that may not open is the Potter ones but who knows. Both will have crazy capacity.

Like the line from JP: "with the best of intentions".

i REALLY hope hogwarts express gets express.

The express line will be open only if it is not an epically popular attraction and its uniqueness wears off after 3-4 months. So, your only hope is that it is boring and average or that it has a throughput of 12,000 per hour. :wave:

Man I wish they would just open an express line on FJ... haha
And that would be stellar if they had one on HE

I've gotten so used to being able to walk right onto the ride everytime I go through single rider that even if there was Express, Id have no use for it. Even with Express, Id probably still get on before most who do use Express. Too bad that's not the case with Dragon Challenge.

I wish Express and FP didn't even exist but that's just me.

Why is that?

 

[captainjack]

Great shots Felipe :thumbs: now that I've figured out how to post from Photobucket I may do updates as well

 

[Shockwave]

Why is that?

Before FP/Express, the only reason a line was long was because the park was busy (15 - 20,000+). Now because of FP/Express, on days when less than 10,000 people are in the parks, the standby line of popular attractions (Space/Splash/Big Thunder Mountain, Tower of Terror, Toy Story, Spiderman, FJ, Mummy, etc.) is half an hour or more when it shouldn't be.

I agree with hatetofly. For me, the biggest issue is that I believe these systems encourage the "shot gunning" of rides. You go from one to the next without concern for what is happening in between in an attempt to do as much as possible.

Same here. Without these line skipping perks, I'm pretty sure only the low capacity rides would have a wait. But hey, since it's there, may as well use it :smiley:

I don't think FJ having an express would help it very much, isn't it extremely similar to the loading style of Rockit? I heard from a Rockit TM that a express would mess up the flow of the rides loading, seems like it would be the same case for FJ.

Seeing how FJ uses a magic carpet loading system and how FP messed up the Omnimovers, the TM would be correct

If they have the express pass rejoin the que near the end there wouldn't be an issue. Similar to DL's BLAB

Thanks for the updates, Vyrus and cquaz!! :thumbs: There's definitely been some visible progress since Saturday.

PS: Count me in on the TF-building touching club I also touched the wall, the doors, and everything I could. (I always touch, knock, try to feel everything )

Is the gift shop still supposed to open the end of next week?
