Geauga Lake knows the feeling

Stepping over a nickel to pick up a penny. It is almost like they are purposely accelerating the efforts to make bankruptcy the only option...

New direction is chop off part of the season and give you a free entry ticket to make up for it. Caveat emptor

Enjoy it now, because under Six Flags, nothing is a given for next year....

^That one shows they are looking for theatrically trained folks, whereas this one is just the random anyone can apply, so maybe it will be a few paid mazes and a few that are free...

Now with Haunt 4 hour waits brought to you by Snickers

One thing we know about our passholders is they will come regardless. Even if the park did zero decorating and no scare zones or roamers and only focused on upcharge mazes, people will still pack the park. If people can't get in the mazes with entry into the park, then the rides lines become even longer than they already are during Haunt. On Haunt Saturdays many of the FL get to/approach the queue entrance, so the lines will be even worse.

I thought it was already confirmed a Cheesecake Factory and Burger King

It says good rest of 2025 at all parks, but they can always change the terms at any time without notice.

Many say this, even fewer follow through. What have you decided you will do instead?

It will be interesting to see if other parks offer a MVP sale and if they tailor it to what they are trying to get out of that park guests. For example, maybe the analytics show that at Wonderland they have the smallest percentage of people that buy a pass from there with the all park passport, so they offered that free to try to encourage them to attend other parks. Maybe another park will offer something else free? Or is that thinking too much and they aren't that smart LOL.

^And that is what they are banking on. Be the best bang for the buck and lowest pricing to make it up on quantity and figure enough people will accept whatever product is offered to them because of the lower prices. What other product, service, or entertainment offering has had prices go down? They are desperate and going to their go to give away the gate option.

Yep. I posted this in another thread: Since this is starting to roll out earlier than usual, this tells me that attendance is down chain wide and they need some good news momentum for the TBD Q2 call. They wanna be able to say 2026 pass sales are strong and momentum going the right way and all that jazz to divert attention away from YTD performance. I would be shocked if we don't see this rollout to other parks in the coming days.

Because our guests entered the single rider line DEMANDING to not get split up in single rider line and the ride ops were getting verbally abused. They were not ok with getting split up. Just not worth it. Keep it FL and make some money.

^yep. Look here back when Prestige came out and the "may vary by park" benefits changed daily and caused lots of confusion.

So they aren't selling the all park passport and just comes with the gold pass next year lol. As usual a bunch of nonconsistent verbage that they modify as they see fit without notice.

It will change 12 times as they realize that they messed up. Caveat Emptor

Apparently they plan to make it up on parking if you visit other parks LOL

I have mentioned here before that it appeared the strategy for 2026 passes would be lower prices than last year to make it up on quantity and sadly that appears to be the case... Giving away the gate is their fallback.

It did. The south was the main toll with more toll lanes than the north and had like 3-4 dedicated lanes off KI drive going to it and when they would close one of the entrances during light times, it would be the north entrance that would close. But like you said, it would back up so the decision was made to move the entrance north to hopefully only back up on KI drive and not I-71 also. But during Haunt it has backed up onto I-71.

Speaking of parking, I guess when your company picnic is at KI, you can take up multiple spaces up close lol

^I think they will go the other way and either hold prices steady or lower the price for 2026 passes. They have made comments that have alluded to making it up in quantity moving forward. The only way to do that is lower prices.

Funnel Cake Friday - BOGO from 5 to 8pm.

Oh I remember...I even remember when they had actual cars parked around the park advertising ....just pointing out we are slowing seeing the return...
