I was there on Sunday, I picked up all pre-booked annual pass tickets, passholder friend&fam tickets, Passing tickets and Fastracks from Advanced Ticket Collection no problem at all:)
^ Which is fantastic, but just causes a hold-up later in the day when it's busy... So the problem of adding trains half way through the day still stands.
^ You forgot to mention the endless breakdowns.... Oh so many breakdowns
Nearly every time I've been this year they've only added the second train half way through the day. Are they trying to build up the queue to sell more Fastracks?? I can't see any other reason for it!
It seems that when the ride is finally up and running as it should be by about 2:00ish, the throughput is amazing. It's a shame they cant get it right in the mornings!
Well that's what I've found in my experience anyway
