One more thing for those of you who bought a Kings Island Maxx Pass your pass is good to all gold pass perks thats only if you have a Maxx or Maxx Plus processed at Kings Island only. Other perks for other Cear Fair parks are NOT Vaild with your pass unless you have a maxx pass from a different Cedar Fair park.

so if you have a temporary pass, can you go to preseason processing and get it exchanged?

[pkiboy 0]

YES

[Headwound 0]

awesome, I'll be there

So that most likely answers my question. I was looking into getting into Joe Cool at Cedar Point. So, will I not be able to purchase that if I have a Maxx pass from Kings Island?

 

Also, not to get off topic but I have another question. My girlfriend cannot afford to purchase a season pass before opening day. I know usually you can buy a ticket and upgrade. Does she have to upgrade right then at the park, or can she save proof of purchase and upgrade later?

[The Interpreter 2]

Upgrades can only be done on the day of ticket purchase.

So if I got a Kings Island Maxx Pass, it will be treated as a gold pass at Kings island and just a normal maxx pass at the other parks then?

[TombraiderTy 1]

And if I got a regular pass cause I didn't plan on going to anyother Cedar Fair parks, I'll be treated like a guests with a ticket?

[PKIDelirium 73]

Maxx Passes bought at KI are KI Gold Passes.

 

Regular KI Passes bought at KI are KI Gold Passes.

[TombraiderTy 1]

That's confusing...

[PKIVortex 0]

What's confusing about it? All season pass bought at Kings Island are Gold Passes, regardless of the platform you got, Kings Island Only, Cedar Fair Maxx, or Cedar Fair Maxx Plus.

[TOPGUN1993 0]

If you bought your pass at any other Cedar Fair park you Do Not get Kings Island Gold pass perks.

[TombraiderTy 1]

So a normal pass is technically a gold pass?

[PKIDelirium 73]

Normal passes bought before May 27 will automatically be Gold Passes, just like previous years. Same for Maxx Passes bought at KI.

 

I want to throttle whoever was in charge of season passes this year. Way to be confusing. <_>

[TombraiderTy 1]

Sweet, so I have a Gold Pass since I got mine in 2006

[KingsIslandQueen 0]

this is kinda on topic i can add the parkin pass on to my pass whenever right i dont have to add it the day i get my pass processed do I? I cant remember i dont think i had to do them the same day in the past-

[TombraiderTy 1]

^just read your signature, never got a chance to ride the Screechin' Eagle, was it fun?

Actually, the rules haven't changed much at all. This never really came up for proximity reasons, but I know that KI would regularly turn away guests who were passholders from other Paramount Parks trying to receive gold benefits.

[Keysersoze 0]

Well I'm still confused. Look all I want is my Maxx pass to get me in Kings Island as well as Cedar Point and Geauga lake for free. I live in Columbus, and I have a couple vactions plan this year where I plan to tour all the amusement parks I can with my pass, they can keep the gold crap if it means I lose that. The only thing I ever do at Kings Island anymore is ride the big coasters and a few flat rides, The free parking is nice, but that about the only perk that I see I would want!

[CoastersNSich 1]

I was torn between getting my MAXX pass through Kings Island or Cedar Point. Originally I was leaning towards Cedar Point because of the Joe Cool Club and All-Ohio Parking options, as well as renewal through the mail - no new picture, no processing line. However, I realize that I'll be visiting Kings Island much more often than CP - and with the Gold Pass perks, I'd be better off getting the MAXX through my real home park. The early opening of the SP Processing Center just solidifies my decision to buy at KI, which should happen just in time for next Saturday!

[The Interpreter 2]

You can get an All Ohio parking pass no matter where your Maxx pass is from...even Carowinds...

Ty I personaly loved it, but it was the first actual "big kid" roller coster I rode. I just wish Americian was still open- yes to me its Americana not LeSourdsville Lake.
