Joshua Manansala told Spectrum News that he was able to visit the land without the early entry charge but could see the benefit of going early to save time waiting to hop on the main ride. Meanwhile, Niles said, those who don’t buy the upcharged pass but arrive at park opening still get a decent enough experience that few have complained about. “The early admission delivers a ton of value to those who buy it: a chance to complete all the interactive games with no wait, a short wait for the Mario Kart ride, and - most important - the chance to get a convenient reservation to the Toadstool Cafe.” “This is a rare occasion when a theme park upcharge seems to be getting near complete acclaim,” said Niles to Spectrum News.
