jensenracing77 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Is there a set time when the 2020 Gold Passes will be available? I tried to search it but can't find anything. I am new here and been going to Kings Island since 1982. Never had a season pass or Gold pass before. This will be the first time and plan to go 5 times next year and likely more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will likely be before the end of August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck norris Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 And the gold pass will likely stay at it's "lowest price" until at least Haunt... So you'll have plenty of time to get the gold pass.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensenracing77 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 OK, Thanks. Are they usually the same price or close to it each year? I think I was told they were $90 last year starting out? Also, what kind of food and drink discounts come with the Gold Pass? I assume it is still high priced with the discount? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Gold Pass is around $90/$100 when it first goes on sale. You also get a 10% discount when you buy food and merchandise at the park.

You can also add all season dining (2 meals a day) for about $100 per pass, and all season drink refills for about $30 per pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't eat very much at the park. We usually go out to the car and eat out of the cooler and relax for an hour. Sometimes we will get a little something there. We are headed there now.

jensenracing77 Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Had a great time. Yes, I had ridden Mystic Timbers the first year. I felt it was much better this time. Not sure if it is in my head or if it has gotten broken in and is really better. I will do a small trip report in that forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jallie79 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 2019 passes went on sale on National Coaster Day (Aug 16th). They did a big promotion for the weekend that ended up lasting like 2 weeks... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimlaheyscar Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I think I saw the 2019 pass would allow you entry for the rest of 2018 if you bought in the fall. Any idea if the platinum would be accepted at other CF parks for the last few months of the year as well (or just KI)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, buying a platinum in the fall would give you 1 free visit to a non KI CF park. We did platinum passes for 2019, and used our free visit at CP in the fall of 2018.

Enchanted Voyage Lover Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Haven't purchased a season pass since '15 season. My daughter went to work at Disney and so did my money. I've been to KI twice this year but heading back south to check out Galaxy's Edge in September. Hopefully I can get back to KI & CP more next year.

Any idea if the platinum would be accepted at other CF parks for the last few months of the year as well (or just KI)? This is exactly why I bought my first platinum pass ever last fall. I wanted to go to Kings Island Haunt and Winterfest and had already made a trip to Cedar Point during the summer. The Kings Island promo was a 2019 gold or platinum pass purchased fall 18 was good the rest of 2018 at Kings Island but not any other park. I think Cedar Points deal was a free fastlane if the pass was bought through that park. Renewing pass holders had other perks but I forgot what they are. I'm hoping Cedar Point offers a fastlane or free tickets for friends with renewal. I have Kings Island season fastlane and plan a Cedar Point Haunt trip in Sept. The renewal offers will determine what park I renew my platinum through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimlaheyscar Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Guess I'll need to wait and see. Would be nice to get a 2020 Plat pass at KI during their Halloween event and then use it once at Knotts a couple weeks later. I suspect this wont be possible, though. The wayback machine shows last year's deal was KI visits for fall 2018 but not other parks. Knotts deal was 1 visit in 2018 if you bought your 2019 pass early.
