Legoland queues

[Jellybeans52]

Off to legoland in August with two children is it worth paying for the extra so that we don’t have to wait in the queues. It lets us virtually wait in the queues so that we can do other things instead. It’s 15 pounds each we can Afford it. Will it be worth it.

I’d say definitely. I went to Thorpe park yesterday, queues were 2 hours each until later on in the day when the park emptied out. It was tedious.
At legoland in the past we’ve got the Q-Bot things, just means you can actually get on rides.

Personally I would if you can afford it, especially in August. We went to Chessington a couple of years ago - just a weekend in September, not even in the holidays - and the huge queues meant that we managed to do minimal rides, the whole day was spent just queuing and it ended up being a bit of a waste of money.

Of course part of that was the amount of people who did have fast passes being able to cut into the queues😂 But what can you do?? If you can't beat em, join em!

The queues over the summer holidays are just obscene. I said never again.

I think even if you buy the passes you'll still have to queue and it doesn't include all the rides anyway?

Just check what you get for that, I think they have different levels of queue jump tickets?

Thanks will book the queue jump now

100%. We went on Monday and got them, it saved us hours of queueing. We only had to queue for Flight of the Sky Lion, took about an hour and my son was flagging, it would have really impacted on our day of we hadn't got them and had to queue like that at every ride.

The £15 ones still take a long time and you can only queue for one ride at a time but at least that way you can do the smaller rides, the big playgrounds, the shows, snack and toilet breaks etc. whilst you wait rather than standing in line. So hands down worth it.

Yes if you can afford it, do it, especially for August. We went midweek recently and some stuff was still an hour or so. And the park was only open 10-5. It stings and annoys me it’s a thing but will help you get more out of your day rather than feeling you paid to queue.

Absolutely if you can afford them. We had Merlin passes and were frequent visitors to Legoland up until last January but we didn’t renew them as the queues are just horrific.

In future they need to focus on creating rides that have maximum capacity per ride so you don’t wait ridiculous amounts of time.

Personally I don't think these things should exist or should be free for all, but since they do exist and you can afford it then go for it if you want to.

When we went last week, we arrived at 10 and the newest ride "flight of the sky lion" already had a 75 minute queue, presumably people virtual queueing.

You can’t virtually queue for that one unless you buy the very top tier Reserve and Ride for £90 pp and then it gives you instant access anyway so I imagine it was people actually queuing in person.

Hi, this thread was really useful, thanks. I'm wondering about getting the medium-level fast-passes for my daughter and her friend (while inwardly sobbing at the price) but do I just get them for the girls or do I have to get one for myself as well (as hadn't been planning on going on any rides). Does anyone know?

You won’t need one for yourself if you’re not going on the rides but you won’t be allowed to even queue with them for the (hopefully!) short while they’re queuing I wouldn’t have thought.

They’ll need to both be tall enough to ride by themselves. Then some rides still have short queues even using reserve and ride, the indoor ones especially have quite a way to go once you’re technically at the front, so they’d need to be old enough to manage that and keep in mind that they’d also need to take the phone with the passes with them as it needs to be scanned.

Thank you :) (My goodness, what a system…)
