TowerGuy Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Has anyone else noticed that PKI's website has not been advertising gold passes for next season, does this mean that there will be no gold passes next season? As sucessfull as the gold passes were, I know that the employees tended to get frustrated with the special things that put extra strain on us.

SixFlagsMasta Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 well i'm assuming they're still gonna have them since i have a '04 gold pass in my wallet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryler87 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 This is true, I also have one in my wallet. (takes out wallet, looks at pass.) Yep, it's a gold pass. I just checked. We got a flier in the mail about getting the free gold pass upgrade as long as you get the pass purchased and processed by November 1st. I'm not sure as to whether they are still selling the gold passes now that that offer is over. I'd assume they'd go either the way of selling the gold pass 'till the first and then stop and only sell gold passes, or sell them for the rest of the year to next season for a greater charge than the regular.

Dane Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 The reason it has been removed it probibly because after Nov. 2 they push the prices up for them. The webmaster probibly remove the pages to stop sales, but will upload the new prices and checkout later in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Yeah, that is probably the reason, but the webmaster is usually slow at things. We had guests most of the summer saying the website told them they got this deal at Sharky's but it had really ended weeks ago and was at a new stand.

SOB/Gun Steve-O Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 It says on the website that you can upgrade to Gold Pass for $5/pass, you jsut have to go to the park to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoObKiNoS Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 I dont know about you guys but if i were a guest...id pay $5 a pass to not have a gold pass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterrz Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Why would you NOT want a gold season pass for $5? The benefits are far worth it just for the gold pass parking area. Also, I heard that they may be adding some new and better benefits next season for gold pass holders. Some of the benefits I`ve heard are being "copied" from Holiday World, with gold pass holders getting free refills on soft drinks for the season. Hopefully, this perk does come true, as it would save me a lot of money, and would be well worth the $5 upgrade considering a 20 oz. drink at the restaraunts was 2.36.

DegenRider Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 BoObKiNoS your looking at this from a rideop's POV. Its a B*tch to have to open early for the gold pass holders. With gold pass you get Close parking area Discounts out the wazoo Exclusive ride Times Early Water park entry Bring a Friend Free days (as flawed as they are they work) Double ride tuesdays Walk on Wed. Special gold pass only nights. Breakfest with the characters Good concert seats. (couldnt beat the seats for weird al or 3rd eye blind) And maybe Free softdrinks Free beach towls at BB Free sunscreen Gold pass is manily for PKI's Local crowd. It gives you a reason to come back again and again. Even before gold pass they gave out a coupon book with crap in it. Its a good value overall. Goldpass gives you more bang for your buck. Plus making it Limited time also helps bring in more sales. Goldpass really isn't for your vacationiers, its for people like me who live close and really had nothing better to do. I used goldpass alot in the spring because I only stayed at the park until 1:00 or so. if there was ERT I had a head start. Heck my mom who went to the park 2 times with me this year liked it. We were close to the gate because of goldpass parking (she refuses to get a hanicap sticker even though she can bairly walk alot of the times) and because when we sat down to get our meal we got a gold pass discount. Having parking on the pass was a goldpass thing till 2003. That was a GREAT idea. You cannot beat for 80 bucks a 2004 parking pass and season pass. I spent 127 bucks for my 2003 pass because I needed parking and I didnt buy early. 80 VS 127 is a deal to me. now a white pass Gets you into the park all season long And parking is on your pass. Hmm 5 bucks doesn't sound too bad after you size it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
