Ride Plinko

Plinko is more luck based, so I think a FOTL is a good prize. I think they should enter where they are. In FL, you pay the price so you are guaranteed to go into the shorter line. I've even seen days where the FL+ for Maverick was at least an hour. In that case I would see Plinko as a better value. But I go to the park enough that there is no value in FL for me.

Ive won both GK and MF FOTL passes on plinko and each time I went to the exit.. and they lead me right to the front seat of each coaster right away.. no line waiting at all. It was awesome. I find it odd there's such different experiences.

The wait time on MF was about 1.5 hours and the GK wait was about 1.45

The look on the other riders faces wasnt so friendly.. but I felt like I had just won the lottery each time.

Front of the line means front of the line right? Like.. in front of everyone

I think people are really overestimating how 'upset' someone who is inline and loses one train due to someone that got a FOTL pass.

I wouldn't let it bother me, either being the person with the FOTL or the person next in line that happens to wait one more train.

And if we happen to be riding with a group we just ask people to move forward in front of us so we stay with our group.

It's really amazing how much civility and common sense can improve your day and how much you really enjoy yourself at the park.

That said, I understand there are some people that really do get upset, but again, I wouldn't let it bother me or have it ruin my day in anyway.

So the 2014 season didn't offer the 4 pack at night like it did for the 2013 season. Do you think they'll offer it in 2015?

I think they eliminated that by offering the four rides on one plinko ticket. Getting you to play more/spend more money. I missed the 4 pack last year. We hit that five times that year it was offered.

To answer everyone's questions and concerns over pinko boarding; on Millennium Force, if you had a Blue Front of the Line pass won by playing Plinko, you would be instructed to enter the gate between the unload and loading platforms. This is different from Dragster in which they would immediately board you at the unload platform. This is due to not being able to send guests to the loading platform from the exit. Red ride again passes, or Tony's Red pass won from a tweet up is a pass that is boarded immediately from the unload platform. There is a difference between the Blue passes and the Red passes. Hope this helps guys!
