Finally tried out the gold flash pass and it couldn't have been any more worth it. Got to the park at 10 and stayed until 9 for the 11 hour run.
It was excellent making a Dark Knight reservation and walking past the hours of people in the neverending lines that i would never wait. The ride is worth the 5 minute wait after the flash pass entrance, but thats it.
Got on Bull 5 times early in the day sporadically then manipulated that Gold Flash Pass to get on it 5 times in a row all while the first queue house was totally full. It felt great for a total of 10 times. Just craziness.
The Gold pass had us just walking up to rides, and re-reserving them and walking back up after the ride. It was a blast and so worth splitting it with a friend at about $35 a person. Having a season pass makes it so worth it since its basically just like paying for portion of a ticket into the park.
We got STUCK on Condor at the very top! It was terrible and nerve wrecking (and my first ride on it), everyone was worried it was going to drop. Is this a normal happening for it to just stop at the top?
The park was crowded and the lines were very long, and after going so many times this year and now using a flash pass, i just cant imagine waiting for any of the rides more then 30 mins to an hour. I walk by some rides like Batman and CANNOT believe people wait over an hour for it. I love the hell out of it, but its less then a minute. Same for Superman, the GP has a certain love for it.
Tried Aunt Marthas chicken dinners for the first time. It was pretty good, much better then the terrible Johnny Rockets.
Pictorium is showing the Shallow Seas ONLY in 2D for the past week or so due to "technical difficulties" ... so no 3D if you are looking forward to that.
If you have any questions about the day just reply!

How exactly does the Gold Flash pass work?
I mean what's the REAL big difference? Because I wanna go on RB about 10 times! "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
You get the little Q-Bot device, and the list of rides come up and supposedly it knows the length of the line but the Gold version cuts that line down 75% whereas the regular you wait the whole length. My experience yesterday had Raging Bulls wait about 10 minutes from the current time, so we would get scanned and then you would reserve Raging Bull again, and by the time you got done with the ride it would buzz and you could just scan again. ALL while that whole first queue house was totally full and wrapping. It was so worth it. Me and a friend split it and it was $35... stayed 11 hours so it was basically $3.50 an hour to never wait in lines. It was amazing.
So do you have to schedule your rides with the Gbot/Gold Pass? Or can you ride them whenever you want?

You schedule them with the device, but even being a Saturday from the moment i reserved the longest reservation time was like 30 minutes for the Dark Knight. the MAIN advantage to this system is you can reserve right away and ride anytime on or after your reservation time. You DO NOT have to be there on time. So say you get on Raging Bull and then want to Batman and the time is in 10-15 minutes. No sweat because the time to walk there and do Raging Bull will take over 15 minutes easy. It really is worth it and saves a whole lot of standing around.
i rode raging bull 7 times with no flash pass at all and the first queue house was full

oh well thats nice. while you sat in line, i was doing other things. and i could have ridden probably over 20 times... your 40 minute waits were 5 minutes for me. For those who have season passes and just want to go and not wait, the 35-40 bucks is no doubt worth it.
im definetly getting one of thos next time i go

especially if you go on a weekend day with good weather. really makes it worth it. it sort of makes you smile walking past the line
It seems like the flash pass is worth it.

If you get one with another person its around $40 (unless you have that $10 off season pass coupon) So if you have used your pass alot, just look at it as you paid partially to get into the park. It makes the day just overall more enjoyable and fun
How many rides do you get to ride with the flash pass?

It's used at Bull, SUF, TDK, Wolf, Whizzer, V2, and there's a couple more idk about
SF trips 09 = 15
SF trips 10= 11 SF trips 11 =7
I know what rides use them. But I don't know how many rides you get to go on when you use the flash pass or is it unlimited.

Wow that seems like something that I need to start doing everytime I go there.
