Busch Garden's Quick Queue Pass: Everything You Need to Know
A Quick Queue pass is the most popular pass at Busch Gardens.
In this guide, we'll explain what a Busch Gardens Quick Queue Pass is, what it allows you to do, what rides it includes, and where to buy them.
What is a Busch Gardens Quick Queue Pass?
A Busch Gardens Quick Queue pass allows you to skip the regular line, by using a faster Quick Queue line, that lets you spend more of your time riding your favorite rides rather than waiting in lines.
If you purchased it in the Busch Gardens app, or on the Busch Gardens site, you'll receive it as an eTicket.
Most Quick Queue lines bring you right next to the rider loading station, which is a nice perk as there's much less walking (and waiting).

Quick Queue Prices Change By Day
It's important to note that prices will vary by day and season.
If you're planning to visit the park during the busy season (during the Summer season), be prepared to pay more on Saturdays and Sundays.
This time is typically when the park is at its busiest, and the prices will reflect that as more visitors will want to skip the lines on these days.
The weekdays will almost always be cheaper to purchase Quick Queue passes.
How Does Quick Queue at Busch Gardens Work?
As long as you have your appropriate physical ticket, or e-ticket on your phone, you can walk through the Quick Queue line, show the staff member that you have access, allow them to scan it, and then just walk straight through the line down to the ride.
Assigned Rows
Some rides will have assigned rows specifically for Quick Queue pass holders, which ensures that you'll have a short waiting experience.
On the flip side, if you prefer being in a certain row for rides such as the first row, or the last row, you may not be able to do this due to the assigned rows.
However, you can ask the ride operator if there are any alternatives and they may be able to accommodate you.
When Should I Get a Quick Queue Pass?
If you're visiting the park for one day, and the only time that you can visit is during the weekend, a Quick Queue pass will come in very handy.
As we mentioned, the weekends are typically the busiest time for the parks, which means the lines will also be longer.
When Should I Not Get a Quick Queue Pass?
If you're able to visit the park during the weekdays, you can get in early in the morning right when the park opens.
This is when the park is usually less busy.
Where to Buy a Quick Queue Pass
You can purchase this upgrade directly from the Busch Gardens site.
You can also purchase a Quick Queue Pass in Person at the Busch Gardens Park.
While there are no discounts or special offers currently available on Quick Queue Passes, you can save some money on your Busch Gardens admission ticket by purchasing from an authorized retailer like us here at Theme Park Center!
Is Busch Gardens Tampa Quick Queue Worth it?
Quick Queue is absolutely worth it if you're planning on visiting the park on a weekend during the busier seasons.
It will save you countless hours, and you'll be able to experience the entire park with minimal wait times.
