From the Kings Island Newsletter:

We understand some of you may have missed the May 31 deadline to purchase a 2010 Gold Season Pass due the deadline falling on a holiday weekend. In an effort to accommodate our loyal newsletter subscribers, we are offering a special and exclusive FINAL offer to buy your Gold Pass by extending the deadline for you until June 10.

Get your season pass by clicking the link below:

This extended offer is available online only and cannot be purchased at the park or by phone.

Did anyone expect them to NOT extend the deadline?

^ Yeah they always do that...

Remember though, it's online only. That's means you can't show up at the park and purchase on and you can't make a purchase over the phone either.

Just to avoid any confusion, this offer appears to be open to anyone, not just those who subscribe to the newsletter.

I was not surprised that the offer was extended.

As I said in an earlier thread, there is never a guarantee these things will be extended. Some day, the economy will dramatically improve, and the park will decide more money is to be made by not extending the offer than by extending it. Remember, at first, Kinzel & Co. tried to sell season passes and charge extra for parking from day one...when pass sales slipped dramatically (and they did), parking was quickly included again, and those who had paid for it got a refund (like me). So much for his vaunted pricing integrity. You would have thought that might have been his first clue that the Paramount people did many of the things they did for good reason. Mason is not Sandusky and Kings Island is not Cedar Point. Yet....now we get the FUN & Only.
