I think you could have gotten it at any park you want... As long as you renewed your platnium and made that park your home park. Once you made KI you home park, then your one time Fast Lane pass was assigned to KI Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought a new platnium last fall at Kings Island. Since I had a Kings Island gold, the first time I used it last fall was at Cedar Point. Since then, my pass only works for parking at Kings Island once... Then I have to tell guest services and they do something to fix it... It will work one more time after that, but the second visit it won't work for parking, and I have to go back to guest services. Not a big deal, as I always go with others and we can just use their pass to park. But just another example that there are bugs in the system and the people at guest services can make it better, but haven't been able to fix my issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I live nearby. We saw a truck delivering more track this morning. Looked like the start of the lift hill piece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Price of platnium at the time of your upgrade, minus the price you paid for your gold (even if gold has increased in price by then) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just read the blog. I'm his example, he referenced 2018 passes that he bought when they were actually in Canada. In that case, I'd understand that the price would be in Canadian. I'm trying to understand, if someone bought platinum today online (while physically in the USA) will it be in Canadian or US dollars (the mobile version isn't clear to me) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone tried this? I was surprised tu see that the price for a platnium from CW is the same as the other parks, even though I assume it's in Canadian $$. This would make a $197 CA pass about $150 US. Does anyone know if this process as a Canadian payment (and thus is a ton cheaper) or if it still proceed as a US payment and it's no change. If not, why would you buy it from CW if that isn't your home park? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At the start of the season they posted a phone number in some bathrooms that you could text if there was an issue you needed guest services to be aware of. I've often thought it would be great to text them photos of smokers and locations and see if anyone addresses it, but I haven't actually saved the number to my phone so I never have it when I think of this. Also, I've suggested before that I think it would be great to start a thread of shame on here, where we post pictures of smokers that are outside the smoking areas... So maybe we should do that in this thread? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They have plenty of land... Seems unlikely they would buy a camp ground when they could just create one on their own land. The parks that have them are all managed by KOA, so I'm assuming Cedar Fair isn't interested in being owners in the campground industry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did this last year... Upgraded from gold. It's park dependant. Just go to each parks website and look what their 2019 benefit is for 2020 new platnium pass purchases. (Even though you have gold, your a new platnium holder, so you icky get the new platnium perks, not the renewal platinum perks) Whatever that parks benefit is for their 2020 platnium pass in 2019 is what you will get when you go to that park. It is correct that your 2020 platnium dining plan won't work anywhere until 2020. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They just announced. 2020 gold is now on sale. Includes unlimited visits and parking for the rest of 2019 plus onevfree Fast Lane plus for 2019. This offer is only good through 8/19. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The petting zoo in the outdoor theater on the edge of Planet Snoopy is good... Although I'm not sure if that ended for the summer already. The water park has some fun play areas and splash pads that would be good too. Sundays in the fall, the water park (dry) is set up for trick or treating and has fun games and things (like playing in dry corn) or story time with characters. Also note that there is a hospitality building (fisher homes) across from chick fil a where you can go in and they they have changing tables, air conditioning, refrigerators for formula/milk, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got a $4 bucket of Carmel popcorn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And the gold pass will likely stay at it's "lowest price" until at least Haunt... So you'll have plenty of time to get the gold pass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chicken shack salad is a good option of your little one just wants bread. They get toasted buttery bread, you get a salad with chicken on top. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You won't get a receipt, but you won't have a problem. Just go to any gate and scan your pass Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got my second yesterday. Bogo popcorn Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"Most parks"??? I don't think any Cedar Fair parks have trams. Dollywood and Disney do... I agree it doesn't really make sense based on the layout of the parking lot in relation to the entrance gates... And if you had to wait a long time for the tram it probably became more of a complaint from guests than seen as a perk, which would make sense to eliminate it. Sort of related to the ability to get to your car faster... I really think they should add another train stop depot just passed the Soak City stop... Then when Soak City closes (or is closed on the off-season) the train would use that stop instead of the Soak City one... And it could have an entrance/exit into the park which would more people to "park close" to an entrance (and not have an issue once Soak City closes). Most of the other large Cedar Fair parks have multiple entrance/exit gates. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Could you do the payment plan... Pay a portion now to secure gold and then you could just pay it off Tuesday (or you could do the payments) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gold gets a 20% discount on the price when purchased. Cheapest I've seen Xtreme Skyflyer is $10/person. Cheapest slingshot this year I've seen is $15/person. Best chance at lowest price is as soon as the park opens, or on really slow (rainy) days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As a platinum pass holder who went to most of the chain this year, I have a lot of Cedar Fair apps on my phone. With the rainy weather, I've received push notifications of early closing for parks, and more commonly water parks from the other parks... But my home park, Kings Island, rarely uses the app push notifications. Example, Thursday evening we head over to the park to grab dinner, play Pokemon, experience carnival. With the concert for spirit song going on, the parking lot is packed... It's 540, so we decided we can just park by and enter via Soak City. Great plan, except we have to get all the way to the gate before being told that soak is closing at 6 and we have to get out. I'm not mad that they close early on rainy days... But when I see so many other parks using the app the send out notifications ahead of time, I'm frustrated KI can't do the same... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seems like there was a decent investment for the parade floats, so I hope that means it will become an annual thing. The non singing /dancing shows in each of the countries are awesome. The Italian juggler, the French arielist spinning before the effle tower, the Chinese acrobats. I think more people would enjoy these if they included the times of each show in the passport booklet. Portions of the event seem a little unorganized (like the adventure quest) and I'd have liked to see the food on the dining plan (even if I had to use an entire meal credit to get one food item)... But overall I felt like they captured the "carnival" theme well and it was a fun family event. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't think of a B&M coaster I didn't love... So I'm not sure any of the reasons given would merit not using them... I could see a Mack fitting in well with the family theme of Kings Island... Copperhead strike is fun but not nearly as intense as a B&M. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like no discount for season dining plan holders... Bummer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I mostly agree with this... Although with the number of these signs here at CW, there certainly is no excuse that anyone who "saves a spot for someone" is actually participating in line jumping. I do think that some people legitimately think that is ok. Also, with the number of signs up I've seen it empower people here to confront those who are trying to get by to get up to their group... By telling them that they are line jumping and pointing to the sign. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
