Password121 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Hey all, a few questions I have about Cedar Fair season passes, as well as some trip planning advice. I couldn't find a topic that answered these questions, and I *think* this is the best forum section for help. In early July I'll be making the 1.5 hr drive down to Kings Dominion. I'll be at the park one day alone, the next day with my bro, who's just outside of Richmond. Then, later in July, I'll have the opportunity to take a day at Carowinds along with my parents. At this point, I'm deciding between a gold pass and a platinum pass, and which park I can/should purchase at. I'll just list the questions that come to mind here... -Is free parking valid at all parks for gold? I believe it is for platinum. -Can I use discounted friend tickets at any CF park, or just the "home" park? If so, for both passes (gold and platinum)? -Do I have to process the pass at the park it is purchased for? ...if not, any reason to buy KD's gold pass over Carowinds'? Carowinds gold passes are cheaper Are there any notable discounts/upgrades for platinum passes not listed, like free or discounted Fast Lane passes? Thanks for the help, and if things work out I may update with trip planning questions in the coming weeks for Carowinds.

No. -Can I use discounted friend tickets at any CF park, or just the "home" park? If so, for both passes (gold and platinum)? No. -Do I have to process the pass at the park it is purchased for? Yes. Are there any notable discounts/upgrades for platinum passes not listed, like free or discounted Fast Lane passes? Not to my knowledge, sorry.
GCI Wooden Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Gold passes are for 1 Cedar Fair park, Platinum passes are for all Cedar Fair parks. I've only had a pass at my home park, Valleyfair, and there are discounts (I think it is about 10% off) on some stuff (Such as food). I'm assuming this is the same for all Cedar Fair parks.
Password121 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 Thanks guys. To be clear--Platinum passes are free parking and discounted friend tickets at all Cedar Fair parks, gold passes are just for the park purchased. Am I understanding correctly?

Gold is for one park, Platinum is for all. I'm not sure how discounted friends work at Kings Dominion, but Carowinds has this calendar for bring a friend: https://www.carowinds.com/assets/uploads/CC15-150%20SP%20BAF%20Calendar_final.pdf
