KYCavsFan Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 So I am planning a visit this Friday, August 19th and was just going to buy daily tickets however with the Gold Pass sale I'm really, really tempted to buy the Gold Passes and just do installments. I have a few questions and maybe someone can give me insight. With my down payment and installment agreement the rest of 2022 is included, right? Is there a blackout of wait period? I see there is a free Fast Lane Plus for 2022 included as well. Anyone have any experience using the installment plans for Gold Passes? I live around 2 hours from King's Island but 2 or 3 visits in 2023 and it's paid for itself and the perks seem really, really awesome. Plus it's kind of nice that I can get my visit this Friday for like $100 down payment instead of almost $300 for one day tickets (there are 5 of us). Any help appreciated. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 As long as your payments are current, you are good to go. No blackout period. The free Fastlane ticket isn't good on Saturdays, just FYI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhimes90 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 For KI’s Gold Pass, the payment plan is super simple. As long as you make your monthly pass payment, your pass will be active from the moment of purchase. If for any reason you miss a payment, your passes would have a block placed on them until the payment issue is rectified. As far as blackout days, a Gold Pass will get you into the park on any regular operating day, which includes Haunt and Winterfest. It also gets you the free parking as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco2000 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 The renewal site says the Fast Lane is not Valid on Saturdays or Sunday 9/4. So it will work any day this week except for Saturday. Enjoy FREE PARKING, exclusive perks, discounts, and more with your 2023 Gold Pass. All Passholders: Enjoy FREE visits the rest of this year and UNLIMITED visits in 2023 at Kings Island. Purchase between 8/11-8/14 and get 1 FREE Fall Fast Lane Plus to be used any one public operating day between 8/11-10/30/22. Excludes Saturdays & Sunday, 9/4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsus Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 A pass on a payment plan is valid effective immediately and remains such so long as the payments are made on time. Buy a pass today on a payment plan and you can use it immediately. The exclusion for the free FLP is specifically every Saturday, as well as the one Sunday on Labor Day weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYCavsFan Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Awesome! I appreciate the info. I'm about to buy 5 Gold Passes today. So I can just do the photos at the park or is it best to go ahead and do them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Either way - they can take your photo right at the booth they scan you in if there is no photo attached or they don't like the photo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYCavsFan Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 So I bought 5 of these. $650 before the processing fee. The Fast Lane Plus freebie is nice regardless of how busy. So I'll be in Cincy from around 5PM Thursday until Sunday. I can pop into the park on Thursday and get our photos taken. I wish there was interstate connection from Huntington/Ashland to Cincinnati. The AA is pretty fast all things considered but interstate grade travel would cut off 30 minutes of travel time. Most visits I want hotel accommodations now that I'm older.

So wait, from my understanding if you buy let’s say 3 of passes during the flash sale, every single pass gets a free FLP? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
