    I am thinking about going to Pirates of Emerson and am wondering if it is worth it to purchase a Speed Pass. Is it?

    I've never been there this close to Halloween so I'm not sure how packed it's going to be, but my guess is probably not. The only benefit is being able to cut ahead of the line. You're best bet is to ask them how packed it is inside when you're at the ticket office. At Gyro's with the VIP pass you also get access to a "lounge" with food and drinks, so it may be worth it there.
