Cedar Point's page has a bit more info. Same type program. Just to give an idea, Cedar Point's prices were $375 for Silver (4 hours), $475 for Gold (9 hours) last year. https://www.cedarpoint.com/tickets-passes/vip-tours

Still available. Runs a few hundred dollars but you'll get VIP treatment. Most every park does some variation of this.

104 Days til opening on April 11th.

https://www.kingsislandgear.com/ Shipping seems to be $6/order.

Yeah. Click on through. If you use Paypal it will even show you the exact conversion before you hit the final submit button.

Yep. Same for dining and funpix. Ends up being a roughly 12% discount after taxes/fees/conversion.

Save ~ $100 on the all park all season FL by purchasing at Canada's Wonderland. Also of note, last year they did $69.99 for admission and FL+ on President's day weekend. Can save you a few bucks on FL+. Carowinds was $59.99 on Pres Day.

If it's busy like last Saturday you'd pretty much have to go looking for the actors in these areas. We rarely saw them at all.

Good video there. Hope more and more people get a chance to see it. It came up on my feed earlier today.

The Beast is down. Employees at gate said "Not sure if it'll open today but we hope so."

Is this station really going up before West Coast Racer's station? lol

Just some FYI: On a tour of Thunderhead at Dollywood they mentioned they installed a new chain this year. He suggested they averaged 6-8 years on that ride. And they check the links to ensure they are within tolerance, etc. as mentioned above.

Do they keep that machine on-site? I'm guessing it's shared and moves around?

Dragster is not open on Fridays due to staffing per CF.

No

I'm really looking forward to the Halloween stuff. I've never done one of these events. Until earlier this year, I hadn't been in an amusement park in 20+ years. I'm addicted again. Looks like we'll end up doing SFOG, Holiday World, Kings Island, Knotts Scary Farm, and Magic Mountain. Might go to Universal but it's crazy expensive and we don't have a ton of time. Small chance I work in Carowinds end of Sept. Going to be a great couple months. I've been told KI is pretty good. How would you guys say it ranks with others?

Look in the mobile apps.

Thanks for the update. I figured that might be the case on the fast lanes. They do appear to be park specific. I imagine that was frustrating. I'm assuming you had no problems actually getting into CP, right?

That is pretty darn cool. Great for family and group Tshirts. Prices don't seem bad for personalized gear.

Yes

100% showing CDN prices. If you click through to Paypal, it will show you a conversion. FYI: Not sure how Paypal compares to CCs, but the FL+ for all parks was showing $752.59 after taxes, conversions, etc.

CP has said a few times a 2020 Plat gets you into all parks except Knott's. Only 1 free entry there in 2019. They have posted it on Twitter, Facebook, and people have called CP and been told the same. This helps me out and something I was trying to figure out yesterday. In fact, from everything I've read, you can claim your pass at any park. Purchase where you want the added perk. Or buy off Canada's Wonderland to save money.

It takes the season pass barcode on the purchase screen. Taxed heavily but still ~$125 savings. I haven't hit the final button yet. Still not sure I want to spend the money on the season FL but it's tempting.

I'm still tempted to buy the all season FL+ off Canada's Wonderland page for a discount. Looks like roughly $125 USD savings. Should work, right?

From Facebook this afternoon: Canada's Wonderland 2020 Platinum Passholders will receive unlimited free visits to all Cedar Fair parks in 2019 with the exception of Knotts Berry Farm. There you will be entitled to one free visit in 2019. The Fast Lane Plus Pass is a one time use and can only be used at Canada's Wonderland (it may not be used during Haunt or WinterFest).
