Are season passes good at EVERY Paramount park?

Also, what is the difference between a "Gold Pass" and a "Gold Pass VIP"?

Thanks!

Yes you can use the season pass at all paramount parks (except the star trek experience in Vegas). Although I do not believe the parking is good at all parks only PKI. I think "Gold Pass" and "Gold Pass VIP" are the same thing. I have never heard of a third type of pass.

The pass is a "Gold Pass"

The perks are known as "VIP Benefits"
