Kings Dominion's Fast Lane Pass: Everything You Need to Know

by Theme Park Center October 15, 2023

A Fast Lane Pass is the most popular pass at Kings Dominion.

In this guide, we'll go over what a Fast Lane pass in Kings Dominion is, what it allows you to do, what rides it includes, and where to buy it.

What is a Kings Dominion Fast Lane Pass?

A Kings Dominion Fast Lane Pass gives riders access to a separate and faster line, where riders can get to ride attractions much quicker than they would in regular lines.

Once a Fast Lane pass has been purchased, riders will be given a wristband that will signify to park staff, that they have access to the Fast Lane line.

There are several types of Fast Lane Passes which we'll cover in a later section, and each one is an additional cost, meaning it's not included with admission.

How Kings Dominion's Fast Lane Pass Works

Once a Fast Lane Pass has been purchased, riders will be given a wristband that will signify to park staff, that they have access to the Fast Lane line.

Throughout the line, there will be various checkpoints where you will need to show your wristband to park staff, and ride operators.

These checkpoints are normally at the beginning of the line and before boarding the ride.

TYPES OF FAST LANE PASSES OFFERED

There are two types of Fast Lane Passes offered at Kings Dominion including:

Fast Lane Pass
Season Long Fast Lane Pass

The only difference between the two passes is that the regular Fast Lane Pass can only be used during the day of your visit, while Kings Dominion Season Pass holders can use the Season Long Fast Lane Pass to skip lines all season.

FAST LANE PASSES CAN RUN OUT DUE TO POPULARITY

It's important to know that Fast Lane Passes are sold on a first-come, first-serve basis.

During the busier season (summer and/or around a holiday), it's not uncommon for Fast Lane Passes to sell out due to visitors wanting to skip the longer lines from the larger amount of crowds.

IS IT INCLUDED WITH ADMISSION?

No. A Fast Lane pass is an additional cost and visitors will still need a Kings Dominion ticket to access the park.

In short, you are not able to use a Fast Lane pass without an admission ticket.

WHEN SHOULD I GET A FAST LANE PASS?

If you're not a fan of waiting in lines and are looking to ride the most rides possible in the shortest period, a Fast Lane pass will be a great fit for you.

The nice thing about this pass is that you're able to get back in line immediately after riding as well.

You can do all of this before those who are waiting in the regular line have moved a few feet on a crowded day.

FAST LANE PRICES CAN CHANGE BY DAY

Prices aren't the same for each day and are typically more expensive on the weekends.

You'll want to click through the Fast Lane Calendar to see the different pricing options available.

When Should I Get a Fast Lane Pass?

If you're visiting on a weekend when the crowds are heavier and the lines are longer, you'll want to consider a Fast Lane Pass to do less waiting and more riding.

If you plan to travel on a busy day (Check the Crowd Calendar to see), even if you get to the park early, as the day progresses the crowd will eventually show up.

These passes can help your experience tremendously.

When Should I Not Get a Fast Lane Pass?

If you're planning to visit the park on a less crowded day, where the lines will already be short with a minimal wait, it doesn't make sense to spend money on a Fast Lane Pass in this situation.
