Has anyone used one?
If so, what was your experience of how useful, easy to use etc they were?
Got some cheap Legoland tickets for July, but it's a Sunday - we've been once before but it was when the kids weren't school age and so the queues were small - guessing the same won't be true on a Sunday in July! Thinking as the tickets were cheap it could be worth a Q-Bot to stop us queuing for ages and the kids getting restless etc.

I'm only looking at the £20pp reserve a slot type one (not paying £80pp for the straight on a ride one!), so was wondering if they work ok, or if you end up waiting anyway, or if there's enough non queue stuff etc to do whilst you wait for your slot.
Everyone has someone keeping a place in the Q so don’t get upset and go with the flow. A bit frustrating when you are so close to getting on and another 6 arrive, but hey ho, they are only young once!
Had one queue of an hour (ninjago ride) right at start and the only other sizeable queue was dragon roller coaster however it was February so a bit cold.
However if tickets were cheaper we would deffo have done the £20 QBOT. You can only book the next ride and it just gives you a time to come back and go near front of queue (if current queue is 45 mins then your time to come back is 45 mins, so you don’t get on quicker, you just don’t have to wait in the queue) this means you can go get a coffee, see a show, go on a smaller queue ride etc and then go on the ride.
Our boys are 5&7 and queuing just made them wind each other up.
Get the LEGOLAND app and it shows you the current waiting times.
Would definitely plan what rides you want to go on and plan a path through the park to avoid wandering around too much.
Rides open at 10 but gates open at 930. Toilets, Lego shops, cafes etc are available at the entrance before they let you go to the rides. If you get there at opening time you are already late !!
The ones in Florida are 3 times that price at least I think...this summer is going to cost a fortune
The thing is if I’m going to a park just once and I’ve spent thousands to get there and only have one day then a couple of hundred quid extra isn’t the end of the world as it means we get to do it all.
Have done the parks in Florida twice and have never bothered with Fast Passes. The only rides that I ever queued a long time for were The Simpsons and Escape from Gringots at Universal.
If they are going on different rides with different que times you could take it in turns with the Mrs to go on the rides with each of the kids
Or there is a more expensive one that just queue jumps you.
They're pretty wrong really, it separates the haves from the have nots and teaches kids rich people can push in, but as Swisdom has pointed out, if you're going then you want to get the most out of the day.
We had 2 for 1 tickets + Tesco clubcard discounted ticket and I still thought it was expensive.
Food was another rip off...but you expect that from these places.
If it’s going to be busy, the waiting ones are ok but nearly everyone has one.
