i was looking at the platinum pass perks on ki's site, but do not see a calender of some benefits such as bring a friend. also, can you get early entry on opening day?

To my knowledge, the bring a friend free days are a thing of the past. I`ve heard that Gold and Platinum pass holders MAY get discounted tickets to bring friends on select days this year, but I`m not aware of the exact dates. (I`m not sure if the park has released them yet).

Additionally, while there will be early ride times for some rides on specific dates, opening day is NOT likely one of those days. Again, the park has not released the calendar of early ride times yet.

Additionally, try using the search feature next time, as there have been a couple threads asking similar questions. No sense in having duplicate conversations going on, especially when the original thread likely has some or all of the answers to the questions you asked above.

The early ride times are not daily, traditionally, they were a hour in a certain area on certain rides.

I haven't heard otherwise for this year, but I believe they are continuing with the 9:30am gate time, and 10am opening to the rest of the park. As a word of advise, opening days with nice weather have had pretty hefty crowds.

Call the park at (800) 288-0808 in the week to verify.

Not to mention the season pass processing lines can be pretty hefty on opening day as well.

And the early ride times (at least last year) went from 9:30 to 10am. And they were on select days. I seem to recall Action Zone being open on Saturdays in June and July with Invertigo, Drop Tower and Delirium as the selected rides open. They also had a day in Nick Universe with selected attractions open for early ride time, and one in Coney Mall. I`m sure we`ll hear more about the early ride times as we get closer to daily operation in May.
