Combo Park Pass?

[2012Jarrett]

I am going to be going to Kings Island with a member of another forum tomorrow, and we will be going to Cedar Point the day after. I've noticed that on the park's website there is a combo ticket that allows you access to both parks. My question is, how is this used? Do you have to print it or get a confirmation number or what? And does it need to be bought a certain time in advance (for instance, you needed to buy online tickets to KBF 3 days before you used them when I went last week).

There is no time restriction on this ticket. It's valid any public operating day, once at each park.

After you purchase the ticket online, simply print it out and bring it to the entrance gate of the park you want to enter. Save the ticket, as you will use it again at the other park. You may be asked to sign the ticket to confirm your identity for its second use.

^Thanks! One more, though. Do I need to buy it from the computer with printing capabilities or can I buy it from any computer and email a link/PDF/whatever I'm given to myself to print it out on one that has printing capabilities? My main computer can't connect to a printer.

You will receive an e-mail with a link to print your tickets. You can open that link from any computer with printing capabilities.

Another option would be to purchase it at a local Kroger or Meijer store. This is a good option if you want to avoid the $5.99 processing fee on each online order.

Do they have the individual combo passes there? I can't say I've ever seen one at a local Kroger.

^ I saw them last season at Kroger stores in both greater Columbus and greater Cincinnati. Meijer stores in greater Columbus carried the combo ticket, but the Meijer in Sandusky instead carried a discounted platinum pass.

Your best bet is to call ahead.

They also had these combo tickets at Dayton Kroger Stores last year as well.

I would assume, however, that the ticket would need to be used this season; in other words, you probably can't visit one park this season and the other park in 2015 on this ticket.

Yes, I meant to say any public operating day of the current season. KI tickets expire if not used during the season that they were purchased.

In past seasons, it has been possible to upgrade (for a fee) an entirely unused ticket to instead be valid for the next season. This ability isn't guaranteed, and information probably wouldn't be available until the next season actually starts.
