ToT Webgame Buzzkill

[GreatAndoski]

so, I discovered some bad news about the fastpass vouchers on friday. first, I'll review the procedure.

you hand them the voucher. they scan it to determine whtehr or not you've won an instant FP (I didn't). then they scan your tickets (up to 6) and give you that many fastpasses. so you can't walk up by yourself and say you have a party of 6, they only give you as many FP's as you have tix (again, only up to 6). Redeeming the voucher counts as getting an FP on the system, so if you turn in your voucher and get an FP for tower, then you will get rejected at soarin, screamin, etc if you try to get an FP (until your tower time window is up). however, you can redeem the voucher at any time, so I'd recommend grabbing an FP, THEN turning in the voucher.

and now, the big buzzkill. you can only redeem one voucher PER ticket barcode. for day guests, this means one voucher per day, as they're only using their ticket for the one day. but for AP's, only one voucher EVER. the computer remembers your barcode, so if you come back a week later with another voucher, you get rejected. so at least for AP's, there's no tricking the system, no use in obtaining multiple vouchers, you get to do it once, and you're done.

(note: mods, I realize this may get merged into the main ToT thread, I just thought it was a distinct enough topic that it deserved its own)

Nah, its not a buzzkill.... Its just Disney being smarter than the guests who are trying to abuse the system.

I did it the other day, We got six tower passes, and six california Screamin passes too

I for one am very happy that Disney is being intelligent about preventing abuse of this system. We all get to play the game once and redeem a voucher. We can all still go to tower itself and grab a fastpass for the attraction for the same time you would have gotten with a voucher. (Only 10 people per hour get awarded those instant ones anyways). When contrasted with the possible abuse that could come with being able to take a new voucher each day, i think they were smart to set the system up the way that they did. So i was very glad on the 5th when an attendant explained the system to us and told us that in the two hours that the redemption booth had been open she'd already had several people trying to cheat the system, that their efforts would not be sucessful.

I wonder how many people printed out several vouchers planning to get multiple fast passes.

What's the big deal? This response comes off as the kid that reminds the forgetful teacher that she didn't give the surprise quiz. This isn't as serious as trying to use 2 coupons for Armour Treet.

LOL! Lord, Treet. What memories that stuff brings back.


Treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

more like i'm just trying to bring a little perspective to a topic entitled "ToT Webgame Buzzkill". It's not a huge deal, but i don't think we should be disappointed that we can't cheat.

I wasn't planning on handing in 5 vouchers a day, but I didn't think there'd be a problem with 1 per visit (and didn't really think that that would constitute cheating).
