I purchased my first-ever Gold pass thats good for the rest of this year and next year. Can anybody tell me what extras you usually get with a Gold Pass? I couldn't find anything on PKI.com. Thanks.

You get walk on weekends, double ride tuesdays, food discounts, open early days, meet the characters breakfast, thats all I can think of.

Unfortuanently you wont be able to use those perks till next season since thye all ended.

Not to mention you can get in free for FearFest/Nick or Treat for this year (although you can already do that with regular tickets/season pass), discounts on Winterfest tickets this year, and other stuff I'm probably leaving out.

Yeah, the parks will put up their 2006 perks for their 2006 passholders sometime in mid- to late March.

..and congrats on the purchase! A most wonderful investment!

Thanks for the info. I'll watch PKI's site this spring. I'm really excited. I haven't went all this summer, as I kept putting it off all the time. Now I have no excuse and can just head down whenever I have the time. I live about 90 minutes away, so I think I'll be able to get there a couple times this fall and lots next summer. Thanks again.

Yeah, I live right at two hours from the park, and I still find the passes very worth it. I went, as you can tell from my sig, 6 times this summer, as opposed to once the previous summer. The pass makes for a great excuse to go to the park.

Don`t forget the one perk that is good on any visit to the park, whether in April or October, the Gold Pass Reserved parking area! Definantly an excellent perk, as long as that lot is monitored (it is usually monitored until around 6pm most days).

One question that I never really thought to get answered all year, regarding the Gold Pass lot:

Is that lot the same as the premium parking area next to the RV/bus lot? If it is, do we have to pay the $20 or whatever to get in it, or is it just $9? (Note, I was an idiot and didn't have quite enough money at the beginning of the season to purchase a parking pass. If this affects my situation at all, please let me know)

No, the Gold Pass parking area is near the middle of the parking lot on the south side. If you have parking included with your Gold pass you won't need to pay anything. If not, you just pay the $9 and then you can still park in the Gold lot. I find that it is probably one of my favorite perks of having a gold pass. Especially on really busy days.

Don't forget about bring a friend free days. It gets really busy on those days but it's still fun! I think that there were 3 or 4 this year.

Yeah, there were two official, pre-announced at the beginning of the year bring-a-friend free days. And then recently they had the Nick Parade special where passholders could bring a friend....

...and I feel like I'm forgetting one.

Also, thanks for the gold pass lot info. Wish I would've asked before the season ended
