    You only get one Fast Track with the Premium passes now and that excludes Lego Land..

    What ?? You mean Premium pass holders (in 2013) got unlimited fast track access ?

    No they didn't. This must be a new thing being brought in for 2014, and I very much doubt it will be unlimited - more likely a voucher for you to swap for one day at one location.

    The website says the fast track is limited to one fast track (and does not include lego land). Presumably a one day fast track pass only.

    I see that the 'Be Nice's post said Premium passes only get "1 Fasttrack pass now" which implies they used to get more than 1. I didn't think they got any up until now.

    You are correct, they didn't get any previously.

    Went to the London Eye today for a visit (was there anyway, live in central London) and its closed for 'essential works', for a couple of weeks.
    Should have checked the website first.

    hi dose anyone no if when you bye at the sealife center you can get in for that day and then just get the voucher to use in a few months at say lego land? I ask this because it says on there web site that they'll refund your entrance fee when buying a pass. its my sons birthday tomorrow so would like to go there and then not use it for a few months thanks in advance

    Hi, we did that last year but to get the entrance fee refunded we had to take the pass out to start there and then.

    Every January is the cheapest time to buy a pass so if you are planning on buying a pass every year - it might as well start in January.

    Had merlin passes for our family a couple of years back. The value is superb, (especially if you live in London), but for us the fast-track system was used so much that it made the normal queues at the theme parks intolerable.

    I have a dilemma.

    I bought a voucher for us from Gweek in the January sale last year. We didn't get round to swapping it for passes until mid-October. If I buy the renewal now I have to say which attraction we'll go to to renew, and I have to do that sometime between mid-October and mid-December - not massively convenient.

    Do they do these sales every January? If so I'm tempted to just let the current passes run till mid-October and then buy new ones next January. Any flaws to that plan?

    (ETA we live in South Wales with no attractions within 100 miles. Going to one to pick up passes isn't simply a case of popping in!)
