PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE TEMPORARILY OUT OF SEASON PASS VIP JACKETS. ANOTHER SHIPMENT IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE EARLY THIS WEEK. PLEASE CALL 1-800-952-PASS FOR UPDATES BEFORE HEADING TO THE PARK TO PICK UP YOUR JACKET. EVERYONE THAT PURCHASES A 2008 PASS BEFORE 11/11/08 WILL STILL RECEIVE A FREE VIP JACKET.

Quoted directly off pki.com. This is becoming much more of a hassel. I was going to head up tomorrow, but I guess I better call before doing so.

Good info. Thanks for the heads up.

No problem, sorry for the all caps, I just copied and pasted from pki.com.

And here comes some more complaints.

Well, this means that they didn't order enough jackets, or the 2008 passes are selling like crazy. From what I saw at season pass sales, I would go with not ordering enough.

If I got my season pass awhile ago and I was unable to get to the park to get my free V.I.P. jacket will I still be able to pick it up next spring when the park reopens?

Yes, if you don't pick them up before November 11th, you can pick them up next spring. But if you are going to try and pick one up this year, make sure you call the park before leaving.

And here comes some more complaints.

I love when people complain about free things.

Season pass sales typically really kick off after the next year's expansion announcement.

Or lack thereof

Or how about the vendor not being able to meet the demand?

These jackets are probably not being made in sweat shops.

Anybody who DOES have one of the jackets, just where ARE they made?

Probably doesn't say where they are made. They are probably stock jackets, with custom embrodary (done at another location).

I've heard they don't have pockets. So basically, it's a tarp with a logo on it.

I like how the fine line between a 'jacket' and a 'tarp' is based on its pockets.

^It could be a pancho too, right?

I've heard they don't have pockets. So basically, it's a tarp with a logo on it.

Unbelievable.

Ok, so now we have heard that they are out and to call them to find out.

Well EVERY time I call I am on hold for 15 min and NO ONE answers.

So is this good guest relations. I am not about to drive up there to find out they have none.

So has anyone else called and ever gotten ahold of a living person to talk to?

Did they get any more jackets in?

Well after a long wait, they finally answered. Guess 10th time is the trick.

They said that there is trucking issues and that they do not know when the jackets might arrive.

They said they will update the website daily. So I guess you check the website and if it has not changed dont spend your time going up there to check.

I assure you that the very second that I hear from the park that the jackets are in stock, the fine folks of KICentral will be the first to know.

^Would you be one of those fine folks?

just looked at my jacket and as usual, made in red china. i wouldn't get too uptight about these jackets, they're not all that great.

OOOOHHHHH, China. You better make sure no lead paint was involved in the making of the jackets.

You think they will extend pick up of the jackets after November 11th, since they haven't had them this week to hand out? Or will we have to wait till the spring?

OOOOHHHHH, China. You better make sure no lead paint was involved in the making of the jackets.

But if you suck on them, it could be a a real big thrill.

At least for your significant other!

Well guess this site was not first to tell us. I checked the pki site this morning and found no report of them not being there. Called and found out they have jackets. We went up at 1 PM and there was a steady line in and out of the park of cars. We got in a line of 50+ people and it was nuts. People complaining up and down, not sure if there was a line for just jackets or passes or what. A guy in front of us went postal and was shouting profanities at the workers. Pretty much it was craziness and we got our jackets and got out. So yes the GP was crazy about them and some are really mad about the process. Also, there were not that many boxes in the room. Hope they have more somewhere else than what we saw or they will be all gone again by tonight. So if you want one, get it quick.

As of last night at 11pm, they were out of jackets.

P.S. Ryan probably hasn't checked his email yet.

And by now, they may or may not still have any.

People, it's just a jacket. There will be enough for everybody, eventually.

And they WERE free, with a season pass purchase.

^As you can see, people will still complain even when it's something for free.

They should had been smarter and have enough before hand. They advertise free jacket with pass a 2008 people nowadays want it now or they are afraid they will not get one.
