Theme Park Queue Eliminator

Theme parks are renowned for the length of their queues and the length of time you stand around in them.

Enter the TPQE5000. Once you have selected your ride you are strapped into a seat in the queue and it lurches off at a speed not quite as scary as the ride you are waiting to use.

During your wait in the queue you get an overview of the whole place, inducing you to try other rides you might not have considered. You also get to stop at a Rollercoater-By fast food outlet or two. The people behind you in the queue are still behind you, as they leave the queue station after you do.

The theme park operator holds your attention, sells you some greasy potato products and stale hot dogs and shows you where else to spend your money... You get the cheap fun you came for, in the first place, while waiting to ride the mechanical chunder-inducer of your dreams.

       Is there a queue for the queue eliminator?

       Nah, the tickets cost too much.
