Nice to see they eliminated an hour per day from the Lounge schedule... I heard the new VIP area is behind Tower Gardens by the RR's right there by Coney BBQ. Not sure until we get there.

It only makes sense to move the VIP next to the crapper as that is what most people think happened to the Prestige benefits 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting to see a 12 x 12 pop up canopy thrown out on the grass, some lawn chairs (maybe), chips, and a water hose to fill a 3 ounce paper cup (or no cups and just drink out of the hose). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure until we get there. Bingo, I've heard it's still in Adventure Port. If my mind serves me correctly, they cleared that area next to the Tower Gardens end of last season. And I've heard they were laying a pad of concrete over there. Could be more outdoor seating for their new restaurant, but if I were a betting man, I'd say that's the new VIP lounge. I think the entrance is going to be next to the Coney Mall Crapper though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for those who have it in a wallet app, you may want to pull it up or have the physical card ready. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco2000 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Sorry for double post, but here are the "benefits" flyer at the VIP lounge. The VIP lounge in Soak City entitles you to.... exclusive seating...no mention of fusion water or snacks....

To be fair, it’s a temporary VIP area and it was a day where Prestige pass holders were very likely to be there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Preferred Parking is first-come-first serve. As of 3:00ish on a busy day (Opening Day) which is likely heavy on Prestige Pass. So far, it seems like they will be able to accommodate most crowds. We shall see. I’m sure it’ll be problematic some days. Several dozen spots left so far.

But seriously, I like the way they did the snacks. If they would have done that from the beginning, we might still have bottled drinks. Would have been a lot less likely if someone had to say, “Excuse me, could you load my bag with 12 bottles of Coke?” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Exactly. Let's hope this is a test and they bring back bottled drinks, or at least bottled water. I am sure many people got prestige for the convenience of a bottled drink with a lid. Those dinky flimsy cups and cooler water don't cut it for most people. Or offer a Coke freestyle machine in permanent area. But I don't see that happening as they need to have guest turnover and not spend a lot of time in there so that there is room for all the prestige passholders lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
