momtowkco Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Is the date that 2015 Season Passes will go on sale public? We'd like to visit the parks this August or early Sept, but also want passes for next year, so I'd like to get them for 2015 if they still allow you to visit for the rest of the season. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Cedar Fair typically allows ONE visit during the year before on new passes purchased for the following year. Passes are typically sold beginning late August/early September. And Welcome to KIC! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yes, in the past few years passes for the following year have gone on sale on Labor Day weekend. That does not guarantee that they will do the same this year, though. Also, as The Interpreter mentioned, passes sold for the following year have, in the past few years, only been valid for a single visit in the year purchased, not for unlimited visits the rest of the season. Again, that does not guarantee it will be the same this year, but don't expect to buy a pass this fall and make repeated visits this year on it. Again, welcome to KIC! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I strongly suspect that this year there may be some different FUN options. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 ^ That is very possible. Don't make specific plans until they announce the details of 2015 pass sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Also, typically the best price on a season pass is in the Fall, so if you're going to buy it's the time to do it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbum123 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I just finished paying of my family's platinums from last year. One if the best "investments" of the year! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob_rider Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I am hoping they include an option to include season long meal plan with passes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 ^ That's a type of offer that's difficult to get rid of. After getting a taste of "unlimited", it's hard for customers to accept paying per instance again. I predict that it will be back in some form. Possibly with more time restrictions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Wait before buying a Platinum Pass. With the way they are giving away the gate on 2-day passes and what not, and getting into other parks being the only other benefit, I threw money away going Platinum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MantisMan Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Kings Island @KingsIslandPR 1h Mark your calendar! 2015 Gold and Platinum season passes go on sale Thursday (Aug. 21) at the absolute lowest price. More details to come... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Guy Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hmmm, a Thursday eh? I'd say there's a good chance of a 2015 announcement that day as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I bet it won't be 9.95, at Kroger or anywhere else. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback96 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I bet it won't be 9.95, at Kroger or anywhere else. And there's pretty much no chance of them announcing it to be at such a price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals890 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Have you guys checked out Canada's Wonderland's site. It says that if you renew your season pass you get a free Fast Lane Plus wristband to use at their park this season. (I contacted them and this promotion is only valid at Canada's Wonderland.) Do you think that Kings Island will offer something similar because that would be a great incentive for people who may not renew because it doesn't appear that anything big will be coming next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 ^ If KI offers that deal, Fast Lane queues on Haunt Saturdays might not be fast at all. Platinum pricing is $184.50 for new passes or $180 (same as last year) for renewed passes. Platinum pass prices have been consistent throughout the chain for the past few years, regardless of the CAN/USD value. 2015 dining adds $99 to either pass.

harmony29 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Since this will be my first year renewing the passes, do they have the payment plans available when they go on sale or is that something that's only offered later on? I hope they offer the season dining pass again, it really made things easier for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Payment plans should be available. They are at Wonderland already as 2015 passes are onsale already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 how similar were Wonderland/KI passes last year? I would assume that it will be the same way this year maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I assume the Wonderland prices quoted above are in $CAN. Currently $1CAN = 91.8 US cents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 So CAN to US makes it $65... safe to assume thats about what we will be at for next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 ^ Prices last year were ~$85 for gold and $180 for platinum in the fall at KI. I wouldn't expect this to decrease. Canada's Wonderland's pass prices don't include parking (except with platinum). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yea I investigated after I posted. Didnt realize at first look that they didnt offer Gold Passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
