What is a Quick Queue Pass
Quick queue is essentially Busch Garden's fast pass system.
It gives you access to a separate and faster line, in order to skip the regular line and spend more of your time riding your favorite rides rather than waiting.
You can receive a wristband or you can also have it on your mobile device as a Quick Queue eticket!
Most Quick Queue lines actually bring you right next to the rider loading station, which is a nice perk as there's much less walking (and waiting).
Is it Included With Admission?
No, it is an additional cost as you will need an admission ticket in order to be able to use the Quick Queue pass.
How Does Quick Queue at Busch Gardens Work?
It's super simple.
As long as you have your appropriate wristband, or eticket on your phone, you can walk through the Quick Queue line, show the park attendant that you have access, and then just walk straight through the line all the way down to the ride.
Assigned Rows
Some rides will have assigned rows specifically for Quick Queue passholders, 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 is there are any alternatives and they may be able to accommodate you.
Enjoy unlimited front-of-the line admission at each of the following rides:
- Tigris
- Falcon's Fury®
- Cheetah Hunt®

Price Changes 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 (the summer season on the weekends), be prepared to pay more on Saturdays and Sundays in particular.
This is 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.
Typically the weekdays will always be cheaper for Quick Queue passes.
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, and 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

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. It will save you countless hours, and you'll be able to experience the entire park with minimal wait times. On top of that, you can ride your favorite rides as many times as you want. You can actually finish riding, and get right back in the Quick Queue line to ride again.
