xRazzBerryx 233 Report post Posted September 19, 2017 I wonder how many people they are going to give early access to until it is booked out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperV 54 Report post Posted September 19, 2017 Ugh I'm so annoyed! I have a membership and my friend has a VIP so I can't go in at 8:30 but she can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themagician 2,655 Report post Posted September 20, 2017 @Brad2912 They can? I only thought this early entry thing was for VIP pass holders, or is it for anyone who has a pass? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MickeyD 610 Report post Posted September 20, 2017 On the redemption page it says for VIP Holders.. Your Season Pass ID number is your Member Nr. It is located on the back of your VIP Pass in the bottom right corner next to the barcode. Please enter numbers only. If you have any issues please call our Sales Team on 133 386 for further assistance with your renewal or redemption. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan M. 203 Report post Posted September 20, 2017 Try entering your membership SPID, members were sent an email with the link. My current VIP pass works too, although have not received the email. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad2912 2,309 Report post Posted September 20, 2017 Passholder ID works for your member number. Memberships are technically a high level of VIP pass so why would they miss out? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aimsley81 37 Report post Posted September 20, 2017 I have the premier membership and I got the email invite to redeem an early access ride. I booked for the 30th of September. I figured that'd be an awesome way to kick off my birthday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loki75 46 Report post Posted September 22, 2017 Here this morning for early access. Just finished my second ride. All I can say is wow. What a fantastic ride. Couple of hundred people here and wait time is about 20-30 mins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jdude95 555 Report post Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) They haven't stated how many tickets are available, just that there are limited numbers. I asked how many were available per day and I was told that there are 400 tickets allocated each day. Edited September 23, 2017 by Jdude95 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glubbo 466 Report post Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) As a single rider today with 2 trains running, it’s under 15 minute waits during the VIP preview access. ...3 rides in before general public let in. Including backwards and row 10. 😍 Edited September 23, 2017 by Glubbo 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caleb 6 Report post Posted September 24, 2017 I managed to get in 4 rides before 10am including one backwards run. There was essentially no line for backwards rides, that made it worth the $10 for me alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MickeyD 610 Report post Posted September 24, 2017 I'm heading down next weekend for my early access and first ever ride. Paying the extra couple of bucks each month for things like this makes it totally worth it and I hope VTP's continue with these kind of incentives for the more premium memberships. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperV 54 Report post Posted September 24, 2017 Went to previews today and got in 2 rides then went to Superman at 9:30 as the person I went with felt sick. Got to ride row 6 and row 10. I love row ten for the drop and the first half but the bunny hills feel better in the front. I think that the front is my favourite. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What they need to do now is to slowly separate the memberships from the VIPs, and start dropping some of the benefits for the VIP passes to increase the push to membership. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MickeyD 610 Report post Posted September 24, 2017 100% agree @AlexB. I'd like to see something like a point system based on Member spend introduced. Earn say 1 point for every dollar spent on memberships plus bonus points for Premium memberships, special services and events booked online. Introduce a system in-Park allowing Guests to scan their memberships and receipts for purchasing a Product or Service across the brand to earn say 1 point per 2 dollar spent. Redeem anything from locker hire, photopass, Rivals backwards to meals - all the way up to the more high end experiences like AOS, a stay at SW or a backstage MW tour. Such an incentive for Members would not only encorage greater visitation it would significantly increase visitor spend across the brand/properties.
