Ride reservation and Express Pass Question

[orlandonyc]

Last time I went to US/IoA (Like 4 or 5 yrs ago) I remember being able to scan my park ticket and reserve a spot on line and then come back when kiosk said and get on the express line. is this still true or has the express pass done away with that?

The Express pass that you are refering to has been done away.

In it's place USF has implemented a program where you can purchase express passes for the attractions. This will allow you access to the FOTL (Front of the Line) queue.

If you are staying on site at one of the Loews properties your room key will allow you the use of the FOTL queue as well.

The kiosks you refer to have been done away with. The only way you can get in the "express" line now, is if you are staying onsite (you just show your room key) or if you purchase "express passes". Staying onsite is a much better deal in my opinion. You will spend just as much, if not more, if you stay offsite & purchase express passes for everyone in your party. Also, you have to purchase a seperate express pass for EACH PARK, EACH DAY, and you can only use it once for each ride!!! That's one of the reasons staying on site is a much better deal! You just show you room key, and you're in!!! Some people have said that on really busy days, they limit it to 1 time, but we've never had that happen! We've even been known to get back in line OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER for the same ride, and we always go during sumertime when it REALLY BUSY. I also have to say that staying onsite is a much more relaxing experiance. You don't feel rushed, and the whole experience it 100 times better!!!

When you start looking for a "FOTL" queue, know that you are entering the EXPRESS queue.

If you want to not wait and get right on the ride, take a VIP tour.

You could also run into the right TM at the right time and get VIP'd to their attraction just because they felt like making someone's day.

But a VIP tour is a VIP tour. They're like nothing else!

Packages start at $100/person for the non-exclusive tours.

Running into the right TM is FREE! But requires amazingly good timing.

running into the right TM would be the question now.

As long as they're not frequently being "locked in the box" then it's all a matter of luck.

That's what happens to many once they're trained in tower/control booth. It happened to me at BTTF and JP...
