SFGADV Gold Qbot (gold flash pass) tactics please?

[d_gil]

Hi all,

I'm planning a visit on a probably crowded saturday/sunday.

I probably going to get a gold qbot,and wanted to know more about operating it in the most efficient way

 

let's say both KK and Toro have 2 hour lines each,what should i do:

 

1- scan at one ride,get the ride time i need to come back at,than go to the other ride and scan there to keep a spot in line - than - had back to the first ride and go in line?

 

how would i know i am not missing my spot at the ride i scanned while im waiting in the regular line for the other??

I mean,since the gold Qbot reduces about 75% of the wait time,i would probably miss my Qbot line if i stand in another regular long line for a diferent ride no?

 

2- can i go to Toro,scan the ride,than head in for the regular line for toro and use the Qbot line stargiht as i get out of the regular line?

again,being a gold Qbot,won't i miss my Qbot line spot ? let's say there is an hour wait time for toro and i scan it and than go in the regular line,won't my Qbot spot be after 75% of an hour,meaning i will loose it when i get out of the regular line after an hour?

 

mybe it is better usuing regular Qbot for that kind of operation (scan and go to regular line for the same scanned ride)?

 

3 - can i go around scanning a few rides one after another,do i have to do the scanning one by one,meaning scan a ride,go ride another ride,and only than i can scan a third ride etc..?

 

Sorry if it all sounds complicated - i just try to make the best of the Qbot $$$

Any tactic advice on using the gold/regular qbot would be VERY welcomed...

 

thanks

I used a Gold Q-bot when the lines for KK and ET were two hours, I found earlier in the day it was pretty much get on straight away and later in the day it was around 15-20 minutes til your time.

 

You can "officially" show up five minutes before and ten minutes after your time but what I did on El Toro was they let me through 20 minutes before my time because they didn't seem to care (there is two checkpoints to get through for ET), so I ran around and went again, and a third time before my the booking expired.

 

I never needed to do multiple bookings and you lose reception in the loading station for ET. I think that multiple bookings would be more necessary with the standard qbot but the Gold cuts the wait time so much that it was never necessary when I was there.

 

All I can say is the Gold was worth every cent.

 

I had problems with re-booking a ride straight after I had ridden it, and sometomes the next ride wouldn't book because it said I was on the other ride.

We (canobiefan and I) had problems with the gold qbot as far as re-reserving for El Toro (KK was down the day we went). You must allow for a short amount of time (I'd say maybe 30 mins) before re-reserving El Toro. Otherwise, we'd have gotten on it more than the 6 times we did that day.
