Ride Availability/Operations 2022-25

Random question but I haven’t worked there for years and/or been in a situation where a ride has broken down with me queuing for years. Do they not give out the little cards which allow you to go down the fastrack queue for an equivalent ride anymore if the ride breakdown?

These got removed a few years back.

You get nothing now if you get kicked out of a queue at Towers, wherever you been queueing 5 minutes or 5 hours. Which I do think really does annoy a lot of guests.

I think the issue they had was the cards you got would be abused, I mean I have a massive stack in my room from times when staff didn’t take them off you, or you just collected more and never used them, they were also undated so many people saved them for busier days like fireworks etc.

You then have the issue that if you clear a 90 min queue from galactica and give everyone a card, 99% of people then just go to nemesis to use it, meaning the fastrack queue for they becomes massive.

I personally do think you should get something when cleared out of a queue especially if it’s been a long queue. But it should be better controller and possibly dated for that day only.

At thorpe they are (or were) doing this, last year we got evades out of the queue for stealth, (I was in the station at the time, disappointed my frend didn't get to experience it, as it went down the whole day) but they got out this bag filled with the fast pass tickets and started handing them out, as people left through the gate between onload and offload.

Still got the tickets as we didn't use them the rest of the day
