The topic of line-skipping passes at amusement parks (Fastpass, Flash Pass, Fast Lane, Quick Queue, etc.) seems to be a controversial issue among theme park goers. I'm curious to see what other members of this site think of these passes because I haven't found any other threads about this.
Personally, I like them. I never use it at my home parks, but if I'm making a long distance trip to a park and won't be coming back for a while, it's a great way to make sure you get on all the rides you want, or to make sure that you get the most of your limited time. The last time I purchased one was on a Thursday at Cedar Point back in June, and while the park wasn't incredibly busy (mostly 10-20 minute waits expect for the A-list attractions), it was nice to get in a bunch of rides on that day. Only complaint about it is that based on the way the lines are set up, I still had to wait 15-30 minutes for several rides, but it was still worth it.
I don't agree with the notion that fast passes are made to cater to wealthier park guests. I paid $85 for the Fast Lane Plus, but I wouldn't consider myself rich by any means. It's all about how prioritize your budget and what you choose to spend your expendable money on. That being said, I will admit that when I use fast passes, I do feel a little guilty walking past everyone else in line since I've gotten a few dirty looks while doing so.
