Not the most enlightening article but there is talk about "purchasing" fast pass - might just be a bad translation but thought this was worth sharing.
Source: http://www.shanghaidaily.com/feature/travel/Tips-to-maximize-the-magic-of-Disneyland/shdaily.shtmlDuring the soft-opening period, the three most popular rides were: “TRON Light Cycle Power Run,” “Pirates of Caribbean Battle for the Sunken Treasure” and “Soaring Over the Horizon.” Waiting times for these rides ranged from two to three hours, but to speed things up you can purchase a Fastpass.
There are Guest Services centers in each of the park’s themed lands that display the waiting time for all attractions. Visitors can get Fastpass tickets to selected rides in each land at these centers. It usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes to secure such a pass, so it is recommended that you get your tickets early.
Visitors should also be aware that they can only purchase Fastpass tickets for one attraction at a time, and can only obtain one pass every three hours. Guests should also be aware that attractions participating in the Fastpass program are subject to change.
