Crush Coaster now with Fastpass

[DLPdaft]

I've just read about this on another DLRP forum - yesterday and today Fastpass was open and being used for Crush Coaster. It doesn't affect me (no way am I going on that thing ) but I just thought it was interesting, after hearing about the stampedes to join the queue for Crush Coaster without fastpass.

Hurrah!!!!

If only that had been there a week ago! I wouldn't have lost 2 hours of my last day to it!!

Mr EK and I are now having a bit of a debate about where they have put the fastpass queue and how the Crush queue is organised, where the two will join etc.

Then again we had a row about a turnip once.

I'm still going to do EMH then over to the studios for opening so as to get a fastpass and then get in the queue. We missed it a couple of days on our last trip as the q's were terrible.

yeah, I can't imagine...I recon over towards the flying carpets side somewhere, and maybe its just like buzz where you still have to wait in the regular line, but only say from the main entrancey bit (where the spinning shells are) that ould still be a pretty long wait though...

This is good news if it seems to be true

woohoo, fastpass goodness

Granted it means the normal queue will now take longer, but it does at least give you a reasonable chance of getting there at 5 minutes past opening time and not having to queue for too long.

It seems to be true, I have read this on another forum too, someone has posted pictures there. It says this is a test from the 15th-21st July. The fastpass is currently using the flying carpets machines and from the looks of the pictures the fastpass goes down the side of the regular que, straight to the building door (so you miss out the undercover que that winds backwards and forwards.)

Let's just hope it's a success and they choose to keep it full time. It'd be really good if it's still running when we go in 10 - 14 days time!

lol i could have done with this last week, it would have saved my tired legs from running every morning!

fastpass yessssssssssssssss

 

[vettegirl]

That is outstanding news, that will take some of the stress out of my one day only trip!

 

[ukstitch]

Interesting...

By all accounts they tried this once before and it didn't work out too well. Hopefully things will be better this time round and they'll decide to keep Fastpass running on Crush's. You can read the article about the first attempt here.

I hope they have FastPasses when we go.

From reading the trip reports on here it sounds like fastpass for Crush is very neccessary. I just hope that there is a working fastpass when I go otherwise I'll just give it a miss, to me having to sprint to get into a queue for a ride is not what DLRP is about.

If this is true, I`ll collect fastpasses for Crush the 20th and 21th, so I`m sure I`d get to ride it in case they decide not to have fastpass on it after the 21th.

I hope it is true. I rode crush back at the very beginning of June and it took forever in line, even though I headed straight there at park opening. Fast pass really does make sense for this ride.

From what i read Crush Coaster isnt really a FP ride as its slow process of people getting on and off the rides. I guess we will soon see if the introduction of FP cuts the queues or make the waiting times worse.

Thats what i have read as well- thought they had tried out FPs on crush but found they hadnt helped because of this.

Ohh it would be so nice if it could work this time around, having to leave the Park at 9.20am to rush and join the queue so you don't have to hang around for a couple of hours would make such a difference, it could mean that you get to be at rope drop elsewhere in the park!!!
