Season Pass Benefits?
That's certainly true. I agree it's just there to make Gold look better.

Helping out ride ops!
I'm nice to workers and try to help out. My goal is to simply get the train out and going. I'm doing it to speed things up, not necessarily to be nice.

Orion and AA are currently both listed on Fast Pass Plus.

How was your 2019 season?
I visited KI 5 times this year. Had a blast every time. Vortex was a favorite growing up. I'm happy I got to ride it during the final season again. That was cool. Before this year I hadn't been on a coaster in 22 years because I wouldn't fit. Dropped half my weight and changed my life. Also visited KD, Kennywood, Hersheypark, CP, Carowinds, SFoG, KK, HW, Knotts, Strickers, Lake Winnie, Dollywood, SFMM. What a year. Fit on everything without a problem. Can't wait for 2020 and Orion. And many others.

VIP Tour link?
Cedar Point's page has a bit more info. Same type program. Just to give an idea, Cedar Point's prices were $375 for Silver (4 hours), $475 for Gold (9 hours) last year. https://www.cedarpoint.com/tickets-passes/vip-tours

VIP Tour link?
Still available. Runs a few hundred dollars but you'll get VIP treatment. Most every park does some variation of this.

Orion and Fast pass
Save ~ $100 on the all park all season FL by purchasing at Canada's Wonderland. Also of note, last year they did $69.99 for admission and FL+ on President's day weekend. Can save you a few bucks on FL+. Carowinds was $59.99 on Pres Day.

Haunt Scare Zones
If it's busy like last Saturday you'd pretty much have to go looking for the actors in these areas. We rarely saw them at all.

Kicked Out Of KI
Good video there. Hope more and more people get a chance to see it. It came up on my feed earlier today.
