Previously, people would have to either wait in a long line or dash to the booking sites to obtain fast access tickets.

With the digital platform, they now can link their activated ticket with the app to reserve a fast pass on a mobile phone free of charge.

When arriving at the selected attraction, all they need to do is to present the QR code on their device or entrance ticket for scanning, just so they can experience the theme park in a fast and easy way.

The app is said to be able to make reservations for seven attractions out of total 24 so far, where some of them usually take as long as three hours to stand in line.

Reportedly, there have been problems with people scalping Fastpasses outside the resort when it opened last year, and the ticket prices also received public criticism for being too expensive.

The new mobile-based option aims to promote transparency and convenience for guests to enjoy a good time in the park.
