gforce1994 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 And................................ King's Island released their Fast Lane deals today. HOWEVER, no season long Fast Lane pass included. I would have used it on MT and WG if it was available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Might as well. Every time I was at the park last year it had less than 20 minute waits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 It is a capacious miracle, that Banshee! It's funny that the number I threw out there that I would be ok with KI selling is exactly how many KD is supposedly going to have I had no special info, I promise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenban Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Looking at the ride list I feel like the park could offer season long Fast Lane as an option. As long as it is the regular Fast Lane and not Fast Lane plus I think it would be manageable. This would mean no Mystic Timbers, Beast, Firehawk, or Flight of Fear. The problem being that while the rest of the list has some great rides many of those do not typically have long lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdf21972 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 So keeping on topic , what is your price breaking point that would say , nope not worth that price. If they offered Fast Lane Plus to your season pass at $199 or $299 or $399 or higher? What price would you say NO to? My price break point is $249. Too much to pay for this product.

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 If it's $150 or less, I'd probably have to get it just out of fear that normal lines would suffer from all of the extra Fast Laners. More than that and I'd be okay with passing on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I think if the do it in the future and do it like KD, I don't think it'd be too bad. If the jack the price way up, i bet they'd sale just a few. I don't know, I'd probably jump all over it if it was offered and I could afford it.

VekomaRulz Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Carowinds sold out https://mobile.twitter.com/Carowinds/status/839192848784363520 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VekomaRulz Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Canada's Wonderland now has All Season Fast Lane Plus for $499. https://www.canadaswonderland.com/tickets-passes/fast-lane I'm kind of surprised that the price is so much more than what the other Cedar Fair parks were charging especially since it is now 2 months into the season. $99 was probably too inexpensive for a park like Carowinds or Kings Dominion since those parks sold out so fast but $499 seems like a lot even for a full season for a park that gets large crowds frequently.

malem Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 At a $499 price point, it's certainly a niche product - as it should be. Their single day Fast Lane Plus pricing is CAD$69 during the summer. EDIT to add: The CAD$499 price is inclusive of 13% sales tax, while the CAD$69 is not. The break-even point is 6.4 visits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Canada's Wonderland is a park where I always suggest purchasing a Fast Lane Plus.....no matter the day you go, it's busy.....the park is at the end of a bus line, so a lot of folks just get on the bus and head to the park. I've witnessed this park at various points during the year. I would say the $499 season is not out of the realm of the park. I honestly thought it'd be much more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 THAT is a price point for these things I can get behind, especially for the larger CF parks. To add on to my posts from the first page of this thread, I wonder if being at that price guarantees you a Fast Lane Plus wristband regardless of day, time, or demand. Wonderland's website doesn't specify, from what I've seen. I'm indifferent either way--at that price, this system isn't going to sell enough units to create a noticeable change in FL queue length. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I really do feel the pass was too cheap at many of the parks. $499 feels right for a larger park like Canada's Wonderland. I do understand the season started some time ago but I also feel there is enough time left to make it worth purchasing. I believe this leaves Knott's, Kings Island, and Cedar Point without a season long Fast Lane. I cannot see it being offered at CP unless it is an expensive chain wide option. I suspect Kings Island will see this at some point and it will likely be $499+. Which I might hold off this year if it does occur since so much of the season has passed but I would pay $499 for a season long Fast Lane plus to Kings Island. I only have time to visit on Saturday and Sunday so I am stuck with long lines typically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtimeluvr Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 You all used to complain about Kinzel's nickels, but now you are all happy to pay for Ouimet's money grabs. I know it is a business but the hands in every pocket we have has become outrageous IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannersdaddy Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I noticed that it says that it does not include Haunt. Do they even do Haunt at CW? I also find it odd that they bring it out now. Gotta think attendance / spending is down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorarius Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 They do Haunt, but it's a separately ticketed event... Season/Platinum passes get you a $5 dollar discount for Haunt admission (which is about $45)... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyano Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 The actual price of All Season Fast Lane is $387.93 with the exchange rate. (for Canada's Wonderland) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
