So unless Gadget and the Brain come complimentary for each CellQ participant this will be a flop. People can't screw up a ticket (they either have it or they don't), add a phone in the mix and there's going to be hell to pay.

You have a 1 hour window, or something like that, after you get the message. It would make more sense to emulate Disney’s fast pass.

But if you are going to charge, why not just charge for a Golden Ticket which would allow for cutting into any ol' damn line you want, sans a frickin pager? Now, can I hack this system so my number is up at Magic Mountain all day? Yeah, Daily admission is between 40 and 70 bucks.
