Fastpass is only at the Disney parks. 

And just for the record, your sig makes me cringe.

If the shoe fits, find another one.

Well, FASTLANE, which is what Six Flags has at some parks, you pay extra for a certain amount of rides.  You get to go up a special entrance and you dont have to wait through the entire queue.  You might have to wait 10 minutes max.

I believe this year the Six Flags parks are using Lo-Q.

Coasterbuzz had a story on it not long ago, search the news archives.

A bunch of Six Flags parks are switching to Lo-Q, but not all. The concept of Lo-Q is great, and I'd love SFGAm to get it.

However, FastLane is summed up in one simple word. Evil. You pay to break the rule of no line jumping (well, some people don't even pay, they just say "excuse me" thinking it will be all better, but thats a whole different line advancement system.)

I still have no signature.

That article pretty much explains it all.  Does anyone know how much it costs at SFoG?
