It all went very smoothly and everyone was super friendly. The last line to the topdeck was 15 min wich is acceptable with that amount of people but the option to use the stairs was very good.

The visit was great, the only reason I didn't select "Awesome" for a rating is that I purchased the skip-the-line tickets and there were no lines to skip so I didn't really need to spend the extra money on the enhanced tickets. I'm assuming people cancelled their plans to visit because of some weather earlier in the day which was great for us, it felt almost as if we had the place to ourselves.

It is my good experience, but the most of security men pointed out that the Headout's mail didn't show EXPRESS. I was almost kicked out from the EXPRESS line if the manager had not come to me. Otherwise, it is great!!
