All Parks Passports have been out for over 6 months, not just 2. Great that it's fixed, but shouldn't have been a problem in the first place. That's all I'm saying. Just typical poor training. Although I do suspect it was the employees working at the time not being aware of policies. All Parks Passport worked fine last season at non home parks.

All of the parks were open when the passes went on sale. They've had nearly 7 months of these passes being in the wild and things like parking are still (or were) being screwed up? It's exhausting for the customer to guess what will actually work or be may be granted now days. It's exhausting fighting all the time just to get what you paid for. It's the nature of The Beast and seasonal workers, etc. I get it. But supervisors should know what's going on and be able to handle this without another park calling them, etc.

They went on sale last August.

I think people are just talking some real idiots. Gold pass at Knotts does not include parking. Gold pass with all parks addon includes parking. Theme park training is often terrible and this is another example. It's clearly stated on Knotts website (and all other sites) it's included.

Fast Lane prices are a good indication of expected attendance.

There is no processing center. It's all done at the turnstile. Takes a few second to snap a pic, scan a card and hand it to the guest.

If you are going on a Sat you might save a few bucks buying the 'any day' offer right now.

You can buy them now.

Just a heads up, express starts at 4pm for Premier passes.

More parks (Hershey, SEAS) are moving to a tiered rewards system for X numbers of visits. They need to send perks to folks that don't visit and create a reward system based on number of visits for freq visitors. Also keeps people engaged and active on social media even if they are just trying to understand the rewards or showing off what they have earned.

Beware, buying through CW means you'll miss out on the incredible Pass Perks that Kings Island frequently sends out.

You're fine. Nothing changes with current pass.

Glad they made 2 home park dining plans and 2 all parks dining plans that are the same price and work exactly the same. No way those could have been combined into 2 products. Then, cut the petty $19 to use it other places and you really start making things simple.

Changing to 5, once a day, skip the line passes seems brutal for folks accustomed to the free FL wristband. I always visit once in the fall to take advantage of that. Good chance that doesn't happen now.

Platinum is currently $290.

Schlitterbahn now selling 2024 platinum passes as of today. https://www.schlitterbahn.com/new-braunfels/season-passes

2 different promo emails were sent. Daily tickets for $39.99. BAF are $29.99. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason which promo email people received. Doesn't matter, no special link or code is needed; both currently available on their site.

Earlier, during the week, it was $5 for Orion, $7.50 for FOF.

Carowinds started a Chaperon policy program today as well. Wonder if all parks are going to enact this.

I can see that point of view. I like the teamwork it takes to unlock things, etc. I like the leaderboard outside and shooting for maxing it out. But yes, it's a glorified video game. Just well done for a park shooter, has personality, and is bright. It's also fun for a group of people together. Curious what this walking Minions thing ends up being at Universal. Guessing it's strictly screens and more Cupfusion like than MIB.

Not sure if I've missed this along the way but do we have Carnivale dates yet or strong rumors?

2 great shooters out there, IMO. Cupfusion at Hershey and MIB at Universal. Both of these have a potential max score. Both are great rides. Cardboard blacklight cutouts are certainly dated. I like Toy Story and have it in tier 2. Both hold a good line and keep people occupied. Once you're hooked, you have to keep riding until you max out.

It's the weekend before memorial day. Tickets on sale soon. Looks like we'll have a schedule before the on sale, too.

Made my first ever visit to Winterfest on Dec 30. Wife and I had a great time. Watched most of the shows, saw the animals, had dinner, and walked around. Nice evening. Parade had to stop midway due to rain but we got to see all the groups. Got lucky with light crowds after the day before was slammed. Park looked really nice with all the lights and decorations.

You're Too Old to Trick or Treat is really good. I don't recall seeing much talk about this. The cast is great.
