Six Flags has it, it's called FLASH Pass, you pay extra.
A while ago, before Nemo opened, someone made a Nemo fast pass. It's in the office, I heard.

I actually had a guest on the phone the other day that asked if she paid an EXTRA $300 on her premium ap if she could have front of the line for every attraction.
And us regular people wonder why the ap's keep going up in price....

That's actually a revenue opportunity for the company. If there's a big enough demand (read suckers) that want to pay that much money for the service then sell it to them.

My boys and I got what I assumed would be called re-ads when we got stuck on Test Track. They were slips of paper that looked like TT Fastpasses, but the "return time" was anytime the ride was open, expiring several weeks later. We had to hustle back to the Polynesian to catch our bus to Port Canaveral at the time, so we never used them.

I would most definitely pay for that, but being local I would use the heck out of it. As I mentioned a little earlier in the thread, Universal offers a version of this called the Premier Pass, which offers unlimited Express after 4 p.m., plus free valet parking, eight bottles of water, free tickets to Halloween Horror Nights, and some other cool perks. Heck, we make back the cost of our passes just in valet parking over the course of the year!

We got stuck on Small World, in a place that was not safe to evac (we were the first boat behind the safe area, go figure!) and they gave us re-admits to any attraction, minus Nemo. We used it for the Matterhorn and saw a family that was obviously abusing the GAC, and also being assholes to the CM's.

How long does a ride have to be stuck to get a re-admit? 'Cause if I had a nickel for every time I was stuck in Madame Leota's room...
...I'd be able to purchase a small fraction of a churro.

Dan, thanks for posting that! That's some funny stuff!
And I don't know how other attractions work it....I'm still fairly new (not just to the board, but also the park. Just started at the beginning of the year).
But I just guess that I'm too used to SGs. I've worked retail since 1995, most of that time in movies, video games, music and software. You want stupid questions, those are the areas to work in.
Compared to some of those folks, I can stand being asked if we have a Fastpass every 45 seconds, or someone just not turning their flash off, and grumbling that they can't get a picture through the porthole.
