LuckyluvsKI Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Interesting that they are having the longest preview time frame yet limiting to only one day per person. Hope the 5th Isn't too busy. Fingers crossed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatchesC Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Before it even starts here's a tip: type your season pass Q-codes in your keyboard enough times for it to be recognized on mobile phones quicker. I'm down to only needing to enter the first 2 digit/letters for it to recognize. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try to do it on my computer and have everything typed on a virtual Sticky Note, so I can just copy and paste the codes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOFirehawkFAN Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 If the new hours are 11:00 - 7:00 does that mean you are still allowed to go an hour early with a platinum pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallyomalley Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Did I read that correctly, only 1 visit between July 2-11, and only 1 active reservation at a time for pass holders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Yes, that is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaikies Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 So we can only visit once during the whole 2nd - 11th time frame and that's it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess one thing that bugs me is I am assuming that billing will resume however season passholders are being stripped of ERT and techinally not unlimited use. I think the park has handled this very well otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Season passes have always been subject to capacity limits, which are subject to change. COVID-19 has, of course, dramatically reduced the capacity of all types of businesses. The way I see it, I bought a 2021 season pass, and whatever visits I get this season during the pandemic are a bonus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster sally Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 After the first week just like any other park they will see that they are not even close to there capacity and will alter said rules on how many days you can reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 At least for the first month, no night rides (except for the 4th). Hopefully after things open up and settle down, maybe August will have some later hours...fingers crossed. Slight bummer, but still exciting to see the park opening! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm kinda hoping our school district does online learning so we can head to KI for a few days in August and September. We start 1st week of August blah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me spell it out a little more clearly. You are allowed one reservation at a time. You can only reserve on day between July 2nd and July 11th, as of today. Based on capacity, they may change that requirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartbeast79 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 So I just got my reservations for the 4th! Here's a question, though, I go the confirmation email, but there is not direct confirmation of the pass codes I entered. In other words, no confirmation of you entered "XYZ code which belongs to Joe Smith's pass," or I can't find the reservation "showing" on my pass in the app or anything, like the dining plan does, for instance. Is this typical? Anyone have insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
