Lifetime Passes

[coasternut]

I would do it in a minute, but it must be chain wide. I've been buying Cedar Fair and 6 Flags season passes for years now. Because of my job and travel that I do I spend 50 - 60 days per year at these parks. I'll be at 6 Flags Discovery Kingdom this Saturday and Sunday. I think I'd get 6 Flags before Cedar Fair. Just my preference.

I can't even imagine what a lifetime pass to a Disney park or parks would cost. Based on the annual pass it would be very expensive but I'm sure some fanboys would go for it.

^ I can't afford a resident daily pass to Disney. You'd need to get a mortgage for a lifetime pass. Besides for me, there's nothing I need to ride at that price. I've been there once since I moved to Florida in 1989.

Estimating an Annual pass at $1,000 and multiplying it x 25= $25,000. So you would need to visit between 264 and 278 times to make it worth it.

Lifetime passes would be amazing for chain parks like SF and CF. Busch and Disney lifetime passes would be perfect too. The only thing holding me back is the potential cost.

 

As long as said lifetime passes come with the season pass/AP perks, they should be worth the money you pay in the long run.

What if I died after I bought the pass...

 

You mean, the day after you bought it?

[gerstlaueringvar]

^ I mean if I died before I had enough visit to worth the value

[Nrthwnd]

^ I know, I was just kidding.

There should be a way for someone within your family to inherit the pass if you pass away.

Or check with a doctor before getting one?

[netdvn]

You can't really check with your doctor if you're gonna die in a car accident or something.

[Coaster19]

My luck would be that I would die after I bought this pass from a heart attack!

[Woodie Warrior]

I'd sign up for a Disney pass and then die of a heart attack after seeing the price

[rolercstrluvr]

I would love for a lifetime pass, even though my home park is CGA, it would be nice to go year after year and see the improvements that they do as well. So if Cedar Fair were to offer this, i'd definitely take up on the offer.

[screaminkid2005]

I would if it wasn't going to take me a life time to pay for.

[jarmor]

I already have lifetime passes to all busch parks and uni Orlando/ioa. I currently pay a little over 40 a month and that's contingent to inflation of the gate price...

[kidcoaster 2]

Unless you have really good job security in one place than I really can't see it being worth it. That's a huge chunk of change to put down for too many "What ifs".

[jarmor]

The closest park to me that I?have a pass for is 5 hours. I don't think moving should make a difference. Planes and trains operate daily. I already have the pass and park admission soley takes up a huge chunk of a typical vacation. I don't hesitate and think of distance when it comes to the west coast parks...

I wouldn't mind one at all so long as there was a payment plan option. I've had a Disney annual pass for the last 10 years now already, so I would almost prefer a "lifetime" option with higher monthly payments where I never had to worry about renewing again.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Park has it's up and down. Maybe a park in its golden age will fall into bankruptcy in a few years. We never know...

[Double0Kevin]

Probably... but it comes down to price. I'm not going to spend $5,000 to always go to Six Flags. Hell, I'd think twice about that price for Disney too... I mean what if I were to move to Montana (wouldn't, but it's an example) and rarely make it to a park. Talk about waste of money.

[rctneil]

I don't think I would go for a lifetime pass either. As others have stated, too many what if's on both mine and the park/companies parts.

 

Getting them yearly allows you to always look for best deals and maybe switch the annual passes around every year or so to keep the variety different.

I bought a lifetime tivo subscription, I would do it with a park I love too. If I happen to kick the bucket shortly after I buy it, i wouldn't really be adversely affected by it since is be dead.
