By 5pm we had done all major rides. Most queues were 5 minutes long, the longest was maybe 25/30 minutes. Even the new Wicker Man ride was about 30 mins (however it was busier at other times of the day).

Overall, it all depends on what type of traveller you are. If you can bear spending an extra few minutes in the queue, then it may not be worth the spend. But if you're travelling with small kids or on a tight turnaround, an Airport Fast Track pass might just save you a headache.
