May 30th, 2010

By:Kings Island and Cedar Fair News




So considering taking the plunge and buying Cedar Fairs most popular ticketing option? Do you know of any of the benifits this option holds? Or is it worth the Cash you will put out for it?

Benifits for Gold and Platinum Season Passes

All Prices for Passes are listed at the bottom, Prices included are for Gold, Platinum and Normal season passes!!



A List of the benifits are below that are included with the Purchase of a 2010 Season Pass Directly from http://www.pki.com/




Free Parking
■Throughout the season
■Gold Passholder must be in the vehicle to utilize free parking feature on pass
Enjoy season long free parking with your 2010 Gold Season Pass.

(MyThoughts) Free Parking is one of the best ideas ever brought to the Kings Island Gold Pass, Formerly developed by Paramount this is one of the main reasons I myself and many others purchase season passes. Parking at the Gate this Year Is around $10 to $12 bucks depending on how far or close to the gate you want to be , so in my oppinion this is a great perk to have!


Breakfast with the Peanuts Gang Discount
■Throughout the season
■$11.99 per person
Start your day with some of your favorite Peanuts characters and feast on a wholesome breakfast for only $11.99 when you show your 2010 Gold Pass.

(My Thoughts) Very good option for those who are bringing the young ones with them for a family fun filled day. Breakfast with the characters is one of the most unique experience for youngsters to enjoy. Also Parents It saves a few bucks so why not save and spend more on toys in the park!!


Backyard BBQ Meal Deal
■Throughout the season
■$9.99 per adult / $5.99 per junior
Gold Passholders can purchase these all you can eat picnic meal tickets for just $9.99 for adults and $5.99 for juniors. Tickets can be purchased online in advance or at the gate.

(My thoughts) Backyard BBQ Is one of the greatest values at Kings Island. Exclusive pricing for Gold Pass Holders is really a nice perk. Backyard BBQ non-goldpass holder pricing is $12.99 for adults and $6.99 for children Under 48". Meal time is 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. daily in the Picnic Grove through Labor Day. Buy your Backyard BBQ meal ticket at any ticket window or online at www.pki.com. This is a Great Gold Pass Perk

Early Ride Times
■Sunday - Friday: 1/2 hour early entrance for Diamondback and Beast
■Monday: 1/2 hour early rides in Planet Snoopy
■Wednesday: 1/2 hour early rides in Boomerang Bay
■Saturday: 1 hour early entrance for Diamondback and Beast
Every day this year, the park opens early for Gold Passholders to enjoy some of their favorite rides and attractions! (except for Fridays during Halloween Haunt)

(My Thoughts) Early Ride times is a great perk to have. Those who wanted to be a first rider on Kings Islands Newest Coaster Diamond Back almost had to have a Gold Pass To guarentee them a t-shirt. How do I know? Because I am one of the first riders and with early ride times I walked on the Diamond Back rollercoaster in abount 15 minutes on opening day. Great PERK!!!


Exclusive Boomerang Bay Access
■Boomerang Bay is open from May 22 - August 29 and September 4 - September 6.
■Early access to Boomerang Bay every day
Grab your favorite chair and spot in the sun when you flash a Gold Pass and get into Boomerang Bay 1/2 hour early every public water park operating day!

(My thoughts) Want that Specific place you sit to lounge but everyone is beating you to it? Well Exclusive Boomerang Bay access is great News for you because it lets you in 30 minutes before all of those Non-Goldpassholders!! Almost guarenteeing you your spot or at least a close enough spot instead of the stupid out of the direct sun seat. GREAT PERK!!!

(My Thoughts) To those that have ever visited Walt Disney World do we have news for you. Kings Island has managed in my oppinion to recreate that feeling of being just at home in your own dreamworld Called The Great Wolf Lodge. This Hotel holds inside a massive indoor water park featuring a New Water slide for the 2010 Season Named Triple Twist!!!


Bring a Friend Days
■ June 20, 2010
■Just $9.99 - one ticket per pass
Use your Gold Pass to bring a friend to the park with you on June 20 for just $9.99! One ticket per Passholder per day.

(My Thoughts) Formerly Known By Paramount as Bring a Friend Free Day, Cedar fair takes a new direction which is still a pretty good deal!! During Selected days of the 2010 opporating season for each Gold Pass you hold in your family they can bring a friend for just $10.00!!! Great Perk!!!

(My Thoughts) Great DEAL!! Gold pass meal deals really can save you alot of money when it comes to your day at Kings Island. Based upon what month you go you can save at selected restraunts with the Family meal deals listed above!! GREAT PERK!!!


Reserved Parking Area
■All Season Long
Exclusive lot available on a first come first served basis for Gold Passholders.

(My Thoughts) In my oppinion this is a great idea. It doesn't help you at the beginning of the day because you are parked far away from the Gate in the reserved area. But after those fantastic fireworks and Snoopies Starlight experience don't you just want to get home? Well with this exclusive parking area a pass is randomly required to enter and it puts you right next to the exit so you are always one of the first on your way home for a good nights rest!! Great Perk For those leaving at Closing time!!!

Free Halloween Admission
■Valid this fall
■Unlimited admission to Howl-o-Fest and Halloween Haunt
Gold Passholders enjoy FREE and UNLIMITED admission into both Howl-O-Fest and Halloween Haunt for the 2010 season.

(My thoughts) Are you ever like me and find yourself spending and spending to enter haunted houses? To much money right? Well with this exclusive Gold pass and Platinum perk only you are granted FREE admission to every day Halloween Haunt Is opporating!! There are many haunted houses to be frightened by and this really is one of the TOP RATED GOLD PASS PERKS in my oppinion! GREAT GREAT GREAT PERK TO HAVE!!!


Priority Concert Seating
■Any Timberwolf Concert during the season
■Limit two tickets per Gold Passholder & must be purchased at Kings Island.
Gold Passholders can get some of the best seats in the house for concerts in the Timberwolf Ampitheatre! Purchase tickets within a reserved block to all concerts in the Timberwolf Ampitheatre. Front row tickets not guaranteed. Limit two tickets per Gold Passholder. Must be purchased at Kings Island.

(My Thoughts) This is a great perk for those interested in all of kings islands concert events!! This provides reserved seating for Goldpassers only. But remember to but early still as there are millions of Gold Pass Holders!! GREAT PERK!!


So as you see there are many benifits to a Kings Island Gold Pass. So In my oppinion it is a great option for you to have. Gold And Platinum Perks are the Same except for one
