Rookie Question about Flash Pass

[milst1]

I've got a rookie question about the use of Platinum Flash Pass to get onto Goliath at SFGA, which is the only credit we need there.

 

Of course we've used Flash Pass many times and we've paid the obnoxious Platinum premium to get onto a new ride. The problem this time, however, is that we are coming to the park later in the day. We've often reserved FP but we have always arrived at the park in the morning. If we reserve/pay in advance, do we lose our money by showing up late in the day? If they sell out of Platinum but someone returns their Plat Q-Bot to leave for the day, will we get that Plat Q-Bot?

 

Thanks for your help and sorry if this has been covered in the past.

After recent comments I heard about the park, even if the park told you it was cool, I wouldn't trust them.

Fair point.

We finally bit on the Flash Passes, although thanks to MattGuyver and Lauren and Joann G. for recommending the single rider line.

 

We looked at the Flash Pass site online and 1) the price had come down significantly since our last check and 2) there was no warning of a time limit on picking it up. I'm willing to kick and scream and stomp my feet if it comes to that.
