I'm opposed to the line-cutting aspect of the VIP tickets. Don't care if they get to see more, eat better, have a personal escort, etc. But being able to go to the front of the line at every ride seems unfair. The non-VIPs will never know how long the wait is for a ride, as I imagine every VIP ticket available will sell out. A lot of wealthy people go to those parks and they aren't going to blink at another few hundred dollars so they can tell all their friends back home that they did the VIP thing.
 
Front of the line passes at Universal has been around for a long time. They just kicked it up a notch with food and unlimmited usage.

You get what you pay for.

I have no issues with it and have paid for the "line-skipping" service before.
 
That should be don't restrict. And you are right, if you have an equal amount of tickets, then non VIP would never get to do anything in a timely manner. You would wait all day to ride a single ride.
 
I just don't enjoy amusement parks anymore. Kids don't rave about it either.

Unless you are talking early on the season, workday before schools are out.

Anything involving herds of people kills the enjoyment/fun for us.

The entire "buying" your way to the front of the line is simply BS. No different than gaming companies telling you to get DLC crap. I hate that sort of business practice (probably the reason I don't play games much anymore).

Just makes me sick

I don't find myself agreeing with Vdubchaos often, but I completely agree with everything you wrote here.

yeah I just pay for VIP so I don't have to deal with that shit

😉
 
I don't think they should. Only meaningful if people, the ones without all the money, stop going to universal. Otherwise the theme park can screw em as hard as they want by monetizing the income inequality of the country into a ratcheted visitor experience at their parks.

Line cutting sucked when we were kids and doesn't change as adults when viewed through the prism of personal wealth.

I bet it works out great for universal though.
