GateKeeper Fast Lane Plus

Hello, I don't post on here a lot, but I read a lot.

For any of you with Fast Lane Plus, how long was the GateKeeper wait on opening day? I know it was six hours regular waiting, but I'd like to know for Fast Lane Plus.

Thanks in advance!

6 hour wait? Is this a fact, or an assumption based on word of mouth?

It was a fact - an employee I know said that they know how long the waits are for the ride (and others) from certain points, and the line exceeded that point.

I waited from midway games after gk plinko and still managed to ride including delays for guest illness and a lift hill stop for some jackass undoing his harness in 3hr 30 ish min

The wait was never six hours. We encountered a number of people who had in fact waited for three to four, but it wasn't six.

And here's a pro tip: If the line is that long, go ride something else! Today was fairly crowded, but the normal rules apply.

I heard the early morning line was in that 3-3.5 range as well. I doubt it climbed above 4 hours at any point.

Oh okay, sorry! I must've heard them wrong. But I still want to know how long the Fast Lane Plus wait was.

Well by the point that their line merged with the regular it was 10-20 minutes.

Well we entered the fastlane plus line around 910 with only 6ppl ahead of us. Not really sure if ppl knew exactly where to go but was told we could enter at 10. Well thnx to this lady who raised some serious hell about paying for FLplus and having to still wait til 10, we were allowed to enter around 940 got our 1st ride at 952. Got off and got right back on with only a 10min wait. So in all we got 6 total rides in and could of had many more. Fastlane plus was money well spent also I love the way the revamp the fastlane lines on many of the attractions especially Maverick. Literally a 10 min wait. One of the highlights of the evening was on our final ride on GK the train stopped for a good 10 seconds about 150ft on the lift. I was cool with it and didnt think much of it but it freaked my friends out lol. Finally the ride ops did a pretty decent job there was alot of train stacking throughout the day but alot of tht was because they had to remove some of the bigger riders and try to place them in row 4.

I still had 20 minutes to wait when your train got stuck and got mad that it may have broken down.

Im sure because we sat on the break run for a good 10 min. And you could definitelt see alot of scrambling around in the control booth. Also saw Monty on the platform but hey gotta expect a few bugs that still needs to be ironed out.

My goodness. Didn't the person who sold it tell them that they had to wait until 10?

I don't believe so. She went on and on about purchasing a platinum pass and then purchasing a FL+ pass and clearly she misunderstood that the FL+ que didn't open til 10. Well Deborah who I believe is one of the ride ops supervisor came down and took the approach I probably would have. She didn't want to argue and just simply please the guest so they opened the que early. The best part about her rant is that she didn't even purchase a FL+ pass she was merely a arguing voice for the people. Don't know how I really felt about it because I was content just waiting but everyone else applauded the lady.

sigh. This is what world we are starting to live in. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

If I was a supervisor, I wouldn't have opened the line. Rude guests shouldn't get what they want.

^ Totally agree! People's sense of entitlement nowadays and thinking they can yell and be rude to get what they want really irritates the crap out me. I really just want to smack people like that.
