Cedar Fair raising cost of 2011 Platinum Pass

[chadster]

Did a quick search, didn't see anything on this, but Cedar Fair pre-sale season is around the corner (Worlds of Fun over Labor Day Weekend) and they've slightly upped the cost of the plat pass by 5.00. Not that big of a deal especially if the rumored cheap/free drinks comes to light. I'm not sure of how many platinum passes they sell in a year, but don't see that increaseing their bottom line too much when looked at on the grand scale, but every penny helps to pay down debt I suppose. The cost of the regular passes for 2011 look as if they will remain the same. Not seen anything yet for Six Flags.

Recieved a flyer for KD season pass renewal & they're having their labor day weekend sale on renewals which works out well for me as I plan to visit the park on sunday the 5th.

$5 is not that big of a deal, but compared to six flags they are quite expensive passes to have.

King's Island announced today that 2011 Season passes will start at $69.99 - more than $10 less then this year.

It really isn't that bad for either chain. Six Flags with parking is about $130 (at SFGAM at least) and Cedar Fair is usually around $150 if you get it early. Cedar Fair passes are even cheaper if you plan on just going to your homepark, so I'd say it's a good deal. No matter what the price, the people who really want the passes will still get them.

There is a coupon in the Entertainment book for 10.00 off platinum passes. At least there was last year, would assume it would be back this year. I think it was good for up to 6 passes. Using this last year for my daughter and I just about paid for the Entertainment book. Just an idea.

I agree they are more expensive, I paid 105 this year, and in 2011, knock of 20% for visiting 5 times (i just hope they don't raise the price 20%, lol) And in the grand scheme, SF's doesn't have much in the pipe for new attractions, but, they are re-themeing, and revamping old rides and cleaning up a bit which you have to give them credit for.
