stky6 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 They had a pass holder appreciation weekend at CP...only pass holders were allowed in for extended ert. Wait times were nothing unless you wanted a front or rear seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejenkins1 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 They have had it for specific rides but never as a whole park event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I believe they will do that for Soak City Exclusive Soak City Access Grab your favorite chair and spot in the sun when you flash a Gold Pass and get into Soak City 30 minutes early prior to waterpark opening each public operating day. Plus, we are giving you access to special sneak preview days exclusively for Gold Season passholders. http://www.visitkingsisland.com/goldpass/benefits.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Kings Island used to do season pass preview days before opening to the public every season back in the day. It was a dry run day, and often allowed the new employees to get their bearings, when there aren`t single day paying customers in the park... Unfortunately at KI this has gone by the wayside. I believe that Canada`s Wonderland still does a preview day in the spring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 There were some chilly pass holder days if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And coincidentally (or not), most every opening day since has been plagued with mechanical issues, staffing issues, long waits, closed rides, and unhappy guests, some or even many of whom paid to be there and don't get to come back on a "better" day like season pass holders can.

Rutgerskev Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The $70 price point is all the appreciation I need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is why I'd like to see the season pass preview days brought back. Not because I want to have a half-empty park early in the season or because I feel a sense of entitlement, but because it gives them time to work out the kinks without negatively impacting the single-day paying customers. I'm not even sure if I would bother going to a preview day (knowing that there's likely to be mechanical issues and closed rides), but I would like to see it back for that reason.

Dry Run Day, and Season Pass Preview days, were two separtate days. Dry Run Day took place a week before the park open to the public, and we as employees recived tickets to give to our friends/family to enjoy this day. Park hours were like from 1pm till 5pm. Season Pass night, took place the Friday night before opening day from 5pm till 10pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
