silver2005 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Some CF parks are whipping out a Pre-K pass for 2018. 3-5 year olds will get complimentary admission. https://www.valleyfair.com/tickets-passes/pre-k-pass https://www.worldsoffun.com/tickets-passes/pre-k-pass https://www.dorneypark.com/tickets-passes/pre-k-pass https://www.carowinds.com/tickets-passes/pre-k-pass https://www.kingsdominion.com/tickets-passes/pre-k-pass Thoughts? EDIT: It appears to be a chain wide promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoan Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'd be happy with this. I have to start paying for my daughter next year as she will be turning 3 soon. Pass costs the same as mine with 1/4 the ability to ride rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Cedar Point has it as well, valid at both CP and CP Shores. It's a great deal to let families get their kids hooked early. Planet Snoopy at Kings Island is very well attended and has lots of rides for that age range, so the offer might not make as much sense here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 https://www.cedarpoint.com/tickets-passes/pre-k-pass Cedar Point has the pass as well so it is likely chain wide. Since Kings Island has not announced anything for next year I am thinking it will either just show up on the site or there will be part of another announcement at a later date.

silver2005 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 The parks must be slowiy adding them on their respective websites then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeBond Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hopefully we find out soon if Kings Island is going to get this. I want to buy my families 2018 season passes but I'm going to wait and see because my daughter turns 3 in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my thought process but as someone with a 4 and 2 year old I have realized this year passes havent been worth it nearly as much to me to the point we are considering not buying them next year. Both my wife and I have to buy a pass and spend the same amount on my son. We have been about 10 times this year and most of the time is spent in the kids area it hardly feels worth it having to buy three passes so one kid can have fun. I will be on board with buying a season pass again next year if I don't have to spend the extra $100 for my sons pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoan Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Any more news on this pre-k pass, sounds like everywhere but KI has them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I noticed Cedar Point had this pre-K pass. It will be interesting to see if KI does this. My son (just turned 8 months old today) will be affected by this in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The park confirmed that Kings Island isn't one of the Cedar Fair parks offering the Pre-K pass for 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I somehow suspect when KI has the best kids area in the country it's not going to be something they give away for free. Somewhat surprised CP is doing this as it appears to me they have a rather extensive kid offering as well, but I suppose it helps with the destination/resort nature of the park, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Yes, but Carowinds has an extensive kids area (which they are adding to for next season), and they are offering the Pre-K pass. On the flip side, it was stated on the last conference call that KI has among the largest pass base of any park in the chain, so there would be substantial revenue lost if they brought this to KI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Makes sense that KI has a large season pass base- it has few competing parks, its very close to its main market city (Cincinnati) as well as withing decent driving distance from many others (C-bus, Indy, Dayton, L'ville, Lexington) as well as large suburban growth very close by (West Chester, Liberty Township, Mason). I could see KI being the only seasonal park in the chain without a Pre-K pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
