? For Keepers of the Gates

Post by jldrn1 » Tue Jun 01, 2010 9:28 am

Not sure if this question is appropriate..... if not chalk it up to a SGT.

Say I want to park hop to another park for the evening but I know all the fastpasses will be gone. So I leave the tweens at the morning park and take their tickets with me. Will tehe gate guard let me put those tickets through the the evening park turnstiles even though those guests are not with me in order to get fastpasses with them?

Honestly, this question is best answered at Board X or Y, but I will help you out. You will not be able to get fastpasses for anyone but yourself at the PM park (if you do the above mentioned)...the reason being: the tweens will not be going through the turnstile; therefore, their tickets will not work at the fastpass machines in the PM park.

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me and we can "talk" that way.

I tried to PM but do not enough posts to do this.

To clarify my question: Will the gatekeepers let me put through the tweens tickets even if they are not with me i.e put through 3 tickets for just my entrance. Thanks for the quick reply!

I doubt it as that would be abuse of the Fastpass system.

OK, I'm going to be very rude here (it's been a long day and I still have two hours to go - *slams head into desk*)....

Really? You really need to ask this?

OK...I've edited myself too many times at this point....I keep deleting what I've written for fear of offending my friends here.....

I will just shut up now......

Hope your head doesn't hurt. You can be ruder than that if you have a valid point, which you didn't present here. Doesn't bother me.

Really. There's no problem taking the family's tickets and running somewhere else in the park to get passes while they are getting food or whatever.

So, what difference does it make if you leave the park and get them for an attraction in another park? You can't physically be in two places at once, so it isn't like you're going to be utilizing two sets of fast passes for the exact same moment.

So, again, how is it "abuse"? "Abuse" would be buying expired tickets off eBay and trying to sneak in on them. This would actually be the people whose tickets were used to get the pass, using the pass.

Obviously, the issue would be, can you get a FP without a ticket at that particular park being active, and if not, can you get them scanned at the front, which would be probably not, without the right biometric scan there.

You can't do this. And just think how AWFUL it would be if you could. Think of all the TOURING groups that would get their groups of 40 into park A and then send a runner over to park B with all 40 of the group's tickets and suck up all the fastpasses, not to mention the amount of time they would waste running all the tickets through the turnstile. And you couldn't do that anyway as you would need the finger of the ticket holder (unless they were under 10). So no, you can't. In order to get a fastpass, the ticket holder has to have passed through the turnstyle themselves.
