jcgoble3 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 http://www.visitkingsisland.com/season-passes Click on the "3 EASY PAYMENTS" tab, and at the bottom, you'll see that it very clearly states that Halloween Haunt and Howl-O-Fest will NOT be included with regular season passes. What do you think about this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 What if we have already bought or Gold Passes last fall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsrattler Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Then your pass will allow for entry into haunt, as you have a Gold pass not a Regular Season Pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savesonofbeastfb Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 It clearly states " Free and Unlimited visits to our fall events!" Right under the " HALLOWEEN FREE" Section. So I don't know where your coming up with this nonsense? http://www.visitkingsisland.com/season-passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsrattler Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Regular Season Passes end Labor day, Gold Passes are good for Haloween Haunt and Howl-o-fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savesonofbeastfb Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Oops sorry, But I thought regular season passes were never good for those events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browntggrr Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Honestly, you get what you pay for. If someone tried saving $5, and didn't read the fine print, they have no one to blame but themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I could be wrong, but I thought it was the same way last year; Gold included admission to Haunt and regular did not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yeah, I think Regular pass admission ended on Labor Day last year, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrick Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yea, I'm fairly certain that this is nothing new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I honestly don't even know why those passes are even offered. Free parking alone is worth the upgrade to Gold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Gold generally goes away around Memorial Day. After that, it's regular season pass plus a parking pass or a Platinum Pass, at least in years past (or should I say passed? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KingsIslandPR Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The opportunity to get a Gold season pass for the 2012 season ends Memorial Day, May 28. After Memorial Day, as mentioned above, Regular and Platinum are the two season pass options available before 2013 passes go on sale in the fall. We'll have the expanded list of the one-hour of early rides every public operating day for Gold and Platinum passholders posted on our website within the next few days.

miniracer Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Regular passes did work after Labor Day last year. Both my kids had regular passes last year since the only perk we used was the free parking and they didn't need it. On the last day of the season last year I did upgrade them to gold passes for this season as I'm pretty sure it was stated back then that they would be only good till Labor Day this year.

lopan Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 yea my daughters regular pass worked too on one of the last sundays after labor day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGeek101 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Really, it is a good decision. I think not even Gold should include Haunt. I think that if they had a "Haunt season pass that only cost maybe 20 bucks, then they could put a LOT more money and time into making the event awesome.

miniracer Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Maybe a good change for you, but for people like me with kids that only used our passes for Sunday afternoons after Labor Day it's not. I'm not sure what the price difference between regular and gold was when I renewed ours, but I bet it could probably cover our gas money for another trip to the park.

Browntggrr Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Maybe a good change for you, but for people like me with kids that only used our passes for Sunday afternoons after Labor Day it's not. Why would you only use your Season Pass then?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniracer Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I guess I could have worded that better. While we did go many times during the summer, after Labor Day we only went on Sunday afternoons which are pretty much just a regular day in the park with some candy added. So for this season I had to upgrade my 8 and 10 year olds passes to gold to get those last few Sundays. If they made a seperate pass for the Haunt like CoasterGeek101 suggested we would either lose those last few days, or have to buy another pass even though we don't really do the Haunt stuff.
