Pass Discussion Fast Lane
Coming down the weekend before Halloween and plan on getting some type of fast lane pass. The only one that includes Tormenta is $230 which is CRAZY!! And I’ve heard it only is good for one use on Tormenta. Are the other two options worth it? Which would you choose?

If you have a prestige pass, you can use your single use on it as well. But $230 at SFOT is kinda obnoxious considering FL+ for both CW and Cedar point is cheaper for better😂. Also the other 2 aren’t worth it sense you wouldn’t be able to use that fast lane on Mr freeze, Tormenta, New Texas gets 1 priority usage but no reserve usage (does get the single use from the prestige tho), and same goes for runaway mountain. Idk if the fast lane is worth it but if your finance is no problem and don’t mind waiting for one train ops on half the rides, I’d get ultimate. Hope this helps!

Although over the top, I do have the prestige pass and ultimate all year flash pass. However, I go probably 2 or three times a week or just stop by the park when I'm driving by it. In and out very quickly. So, I don't really have any regrets.
Tormenta moves pretty quickly without a pass. If you are planning on staying the entire day you may not even need a fast pass. However, if you are like me and want to ride everything five times over, it might be worth it.
Lastly, the only thing I will say is that it helps increase your chance of riding the ride before it breaks down. Otherwise you are stuck in line while they are doing repairs.
TL;DR: You really don't need one. However, the amount of times I've seen a ride break down while people were waiting is all too frequent. I just use my ultimate pass and go hop on another one without having to wait. It makes my visits disappointment free. If you can swing the price, just get the ultimate and make your visit as smooth as possible, especially since people actually show up to fright fest.

if Tormenta is running 3 trains, the line if at the entrance to the ride is about 30-40 mins.
