Any Promotions

[RaginBullRowOne]

Will there be any promotions for this weekend? I have not seen the coke cans they have every year. i will be getting my season pass renewed so is there any coupons for this weekend in the book my lil cousin really wants to go he only has thirty dollars..

[Danhockey04]

You do not get your coupon book till you go to the park. There will not be any Coke cans out yet, probably not till May. You can get print-and-go tickets from SF's website, they are cheaper there.

[twixmix0303]

Yes, I believe they are around $30.00.

[LAFFfan4lyfe]

has anyone seen the TV ads on TV yet? I haven't seen any and I was curious if they started showing it yet.

[FreghtFestFreak3]

some people got their cupon books in the mail. i was one of em! *insert evil laugh here*

[RBull4life]

Speedway gas stations has the buy one get one free coupon with the purchase of 8 gallons of gas. With the price of gas, you will probably end up paying $20 for the extra ticket.

[twixmix0303]

Unless, of course, you need the gas in the first place. If anyone's looking for cheap gas, the Speedway on the corner of Grand and Rte. 41 routinely has gas for much cheaper than surrounding stations, sometimes as much as .209 below the average for the area.

last i checked it was 1.99 were as everywere else was like 2.09 or 2.19

[w00dland]

2.29 for me right now. Anyways I havn't seen one TV commercial for SFGAm or HH as of tonight, but I also don't watch too much TV so who knows.

[Maggie&meSFGAm?]

I've seen the commercial yesterday. It's nothing that special. They proclaim HH, show a couple out of state rollercoasters, and it ends with the Looney Tunes characters in the middle of Hometown Park.

I know some people might kill me for this, but they advertise too much about special events. I personally wouldn't get a season pass because of concerts, festivals, and various activities. They need to shove the rides in people's face (I know that's doesn't sound appetizing, but it's true.) instead of showing Mr. Six dancing to Fright Fest characters.

This way you might have people remember there past experiences, and might want them to come back.

Well believe it or not I noticed that people I know who aren't even coaster freaks like Mr Six and aren't sick of him like anything else that goes on a year so its a good idea.

They should promote the festivities so they can generate business to make those festivals better every year i.e. Fright Fest!

[Eagle04]

Are they offering a "upgrade any ticket to a seasonpass for $40" type deal like they were last year?

I did that last year with a coke can admission and got my pass for only $65. I'm hoping I can do that again this year.

[SFGA Bob]

yes they are. I just did it today.

[Eagle04]

So is it still $40 to upgrade or did they raise the price?

Regardless thats great news, thanks for the update. It'll save me money on my pass

[DejaVu The Ride]

I know it's a little late for the sake of this topic, but I thought I would point out that the coke can deal right now is for $15 off until May 30.

DejaVu "I heard it on a very cool radio ad this morning! " The Ride

[SFGA Bob]

yeah, I just saw coke cans today. they charge $45 to upgrade your one day ticket to a season pass. very good for me since I only payed $35 to get into the park

[Eagle04]

thanks for the full update.

I think this would be a good thread to put a sticky on and keep it updated with all the latest deals and promotion for Great America.

So far the best deal I see is the buy one get one free from speedway seems to be the best deal. Is there a speedway near Great America that I could pick one up at? Don't have any Speedways left near my area.

Has anyone seen any other buy one deals anywhere else?

[twixmix0303]

See my post above.

[Eagle04]

ah there is a speedway there. Is that the gas station near McDonalds?

I'm always in such rush to the park to notice stuff like that. Only get to make it 4-5 times a year.

[punkbunny24242]

Yep... Speedway is right across from the McDonalds.
