Anyone else annoyed that the Sunday Fast Lane pass can't be used until after 9/24??  We've used ours the last two years on Labor Day weekend to combat the dollar day crowd.  It's not very appealing to me to renew so early and since we are 3 hours away, may not renew at all.

Yikes. Is this labor day a dollars day too? 

Are you sure about this? I'm relatively certain that the old promotion was good for Sunday's in October only. Anyone have a copy of the ad?

When renewal perks were first offered in fall 2014, the free Sunday Fast Lane Plus was good after Labor Day. It was expanded to include late summer Sundays in later years, though it's now back to the fall season only.

I always redeem mine on the Sunday that was Closing Day - now the last operating day before WinterFest. Short waits for rides, followed by night ERT for renewing passholders, makes for a great end to the coaster season.

Speaking of renewals, if any of you signed up for the auto-renewal feature, keep an eye on your email. I got an email from them the other day saying they needed my billing info (I paid with PayPal last year so they didn't have my card info) and that I needed to sign the payment agreement thing. I did all that today and am good to go when it starts taking payments out for next year. It will automatically renew your drink and dining plans as well.

An added benefit for for those purchasing FunPix with their 2018 pass:

Buy today and start capturing your photos immediately! Your 2018 All Season FunPix can be used for the rest of the 2017 season.

The first Sunday they are open after Labor Day is 9/24 since they are closed 2 weekends for private events.

So I am reading this as the Fast Lane any time, Bring-a-Friend only on Sunday after the 24th. I can't remember how it was last year, I might call and clarify unless someone can put some hard logic on this.

I read it how you did, but when I renewed, my fast-lane pass specifically says Sundays starting 9/24.  I was trying to "logic" through it with an operator, but they told me the same thing.  No Labor Day weekend visit for me this year...

As far as I can tell KI has on their web page that they are doing Dollar Days this year too. 

Dollar days have been my worst times to KI. 

The big electric sign in front of the park also confirms dollar days labor day weekend

I also have used the free Fast Lane on labor day weekend sunday the past several years. Was this confimed to be changed? The way its worded when you click buy now on the website seems to say it would still work on any sunday ...
