Wireless Devices to Cut Wait Times
Submitted By: ThmPrkCrtc on 2/4/2002 10:12:00 AM
Six Flags is going to launch a new system in which guests can more easily navigate the park and reduce line wait times.

Instead of having to wait in long lines, park visitors can pay extra for the luxury of registering at a special kiosk for each ride. The devices will then notify them when they can return and get on the ride without having to wait, said Debbie Nauser, a spokeswoman for the company. Six Flags is headquartered in Oklahoma City and in New York.

Last year, under a pilot project at the Six Flags Over Georgia amusement park near Atlanta, the companies offered the pagers to park-goers and found them to be so popular, it had to increase the number of available pagers from 60 to 800, Nauser said. This year, about 1,200 of the devices will be offered at the park.

I hate this. They charge more money to skip lines. This is awful and I hope they keep the free fast-lane system from last year (Six Flags Great Adventure).

More and more parks are offereing it as a perk it seems, even the bigger ones offer packages if you stay at the hotels on property. Nice if you do it, not nice if you been waiting 45 minutes in a line

I don't agree with the Idea of skipping lines. Though this system is better then the fast pass with paper tickets lying around every ware!

Early bird gets the worm...hey if your stupid, you deserve it. I am talking about the free tickets, not the pay. Paying is kinda unfair, but I won't be complainin cuz I don't make the rules...
