I just want to point something out, you don't have to pay ride in the front row of Shambhala. My first ride was in the very front row, I was directed there by the ride op. If there's no one with the fancy new gold pass (front row) they let the normal queue use the front and not the standard fast pass queue.
Which leads me on to how annoying that system is. There's obviously no limit to how many they'll sell, so in order to have a good day out, you have to pay out. Full queue pen for Shambhala, yet it was effectively running on one train, as they were designating a whole train for fast pass queue!
It's an amazing system you're willing to fork out, but the normal queue-goes will be royal **** ed.
That full cattlepen of Shambhala's, with only 'one' train, was a low point of my life.
