dragsterfan420 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Have the Gold season passes been discontinued? I'm going on a trip up there in a few weeks and I would really like to take advantages of all the "VIP" perks ERT's, discounts, etc. It's just I couldn't find where to buy a gold pass online and I can't afford a Platinum pass.

hamoperator Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Gold passes were available this year, but the sale has ended. Right now only the regular season passes are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketingExpress Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Usually the gold pass deal ends sometime in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The deal ended May 31st. Early bird gets the worm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragsterfan420 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Crap..... Now I can't take part in the benefits of the gold pass without getting a platinum pass which is too much money for me. I'm going up there in like a week and every lit bit I could do to save money (discounts) and to basically just have a better time (ERT's) would make the trip that much better.

Gabe Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 to be honest, the discounts on food are nice (though nothing to write home about) when ive used them, but the ert is only 30 min during the week, which, on a busy day, usually only nets you 1-2 rides on DB. Beast is usually empty during ert, so there is a chance for a reride. IMO, the free parking is the best perk, which is why i always renew in the fall when prices are lowest. look for presales of 2010 gold passes around Haunt time.

The only way I can get the presales for the gold pass is if they sell 'em online. I live in Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 They sold them in the fall online last year. So, it could work out for you. But, how many days will you be going? You'd need to go three days for the pass to pay for itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcc Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 What's usually the fall price on gold renewal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtl2013 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yes the sale of gold passes have been dicontinued for this year since May. thats usually when the cut off is. But you can try and save up to buy a platinum.......then you would get more perks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well the last time I was there I got on Diamondback 3 times (twice without getting off) and a 3 ride marathon on The Beast all before 10am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragsterfan420 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks for all the replies. Honestly I'm just content with going to my "home-away-from-home" park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 What's usually the fall price on gold renewal? Last fall it was $84.99 for adult, $69.99 for Junior/Senior. What the prices will be this fall, only a very select few know now (and no, I'm not one of those select few!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the prices will be this fall, only a very select few know now (and no, I'm not one of those select few!). Not bad. I know prices fluctuate, just wanted a good idea We'll be renewing this fall for sure. I interview for the RN program next week, and if I get in, there will be no 'vacation' for us next summer...so we'll have to make due with long weekends. And yep, what better place to do so than at the Island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 As I recall, the price was just raised to 84.99 from 79.99 this past season (well, to be techical, in years past (last few seaons anyway) it was 79.99 with a 'free' upgrade to gold. This past year it was still 79.99 for the basic pass with an upgrade to gold available for 5.00 more), so I wouldn't expect an increase. I also wouldn't expect a decrease. If past years hold true, I would expect the 84.99 price to hold for 2010 renewals. But, be aware, this renewal price is only good for current gold pass holders. I don't believe it applies to first time pass buyers. The free parking perk has traditonally gone away after the end of the season, but I know that it was carried over to the spring this year, so as long as we're still in a recession, I would guess that the free parking gets carried over to the spring of 2010 as well.

dragsterfan420 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 I'm definitely getting a gold pass in fall/spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveStroem Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I'm definitely getting a gold pass in fall/spring. If I were you, I would save up for the Platinum pass and plan on hitting some of the other CF parks. Kings Dominion is getting a new Giga Coasters and CP is just a short drive up the road from Cincy (compared to Miami Fl that is). Canada's Wonderland was like a cross between Kings Island and Cedar Point IOW a great park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have the opportunity to go to another CF park like KD, CP, CW, etc. that would be awesome and I'd definitely buy a platinum pass. I doubt, though, that next summer when I go up to Ohio I'll be able to go anywhere other than good 'ol KI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
