LingLing13 Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I'm a little confused about the Q-Bot system. I don't get the difference between a normal Q-Bot and a Gold Q-Bot. The website's not very clear. This may sound stupid to most of you but i've only ever been to 1 six flags park and didn't get a q-bot.
Airtime&Gravity Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Regular q-bot saves your place in line, so if a wait is say an hour, you come back in 45 minutes to ride. Q-bot gold, while costing $300 more(well maybe not that much), advances you to the q-bot entrance without having to wait the 45 minutes.

Would a normal q-bot be good or is it better to get a gold. Because Gold is quite expensive. On the website it said $71 which is about £35.
Airtime&Gravity Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I've actually never had to use it because I haven't been to a park when it was necessary to use it. It really depends on how long you will be at a park and what you want to ride. If you are there for a short time, then get gold, but if it is a day long trip, just stick with regular.
exmouse Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I used a gold Qbot at SFGA earlier this year and it was almost too good. Basically with the Gold Q Bot it reduces the queue time by 70percent. If a queue is 1hr it will allow you to return in 15 minutes, if the queue is 20 minutes you can return in 5 minutes. The standard Q bot makes you wait the same time as the real queue only you don't have to stand in the queue, so if the queue is 1hour you return in 1 hour. But while your Q bot is queueing for 1 ride you can go off and ride another. The problem we found was some rides had relatively short queues, we didn't have enough time to run off to reserve our slot for another ride before we were due to get on a previously reserved one. In fact we missed a few reserved rides as the queue on the station platforms were too long. It did help us do several Goliath rides in quick succession and those who didn't want to ride a particular ride didn't have to wait around too long for the rest of the group. I'd say only get a gold one if the park is absolutely heaving and you are desperate to ride everything.
