Opening Weekend

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

I'm thinking of wearing a black Thunderbird T-Shirt, and maybe a dark blue jacket, depending on weather.

Here's to hoping I will be there opening weekend most likely Sunday...

Do we know if there will be any discount on upgrading opening day tickets to season passes or gold passes. I wanna say last year it was a better deal to upgrade them in the park then it was to buy them online before hand.

I'll be wearing this t-shirt..

First Season Pass newsletter of the season was emailed today. There will be Season Pass ERT on Batman on Sunday April 24th 7:30pm-8:30pm

There will also be Season Pass ERT on Superman on Sunday May 1st 7:30pm-8:30pm.

just that ride not worth it

The sports bottles should be available at all restaurants

[Re-Check 9]

I think we'll be there! We have a busy weekend the following weekend so I would like to go opening.

Last year the food lines were pretty ridiculous, but we just grabbed some food outside the park. We definitely get our money's worth through the season with the dining pass so it's not a huge loss.

Sorry for looking over your question. You cannot get the sports bottle for the next year unless you have a dining pass, at which you get it at select locations. Obviously, you will be able to get them at any soft drink stand this year.

You do not need to buy a dining pass to get the sports bottles. You get one free Blue sports bottle with the Gold dining pass. Otherwise, prices are as follows:

Blue sports bottle (free refills for the whole 2016 season)
1 bottle $22.99
2 bottles $21.99 each
3 bottles $19.99 each

Pink sports bottles (free refills first day, 99 cent refills after that)
1 bottle $15.99
2 bottles $14.99 each
3 bottles $12.99 each

Thanks for the replies ! I'll have to pick up a blue one on opening day.

[CoasterCale]

Yeah. Idk why people are responding so much to the Dining Pass comment. I'm saying the 2016 all season bottles were not available last year unless you had a Dining Pass. Once the Park opens this season, they will be available around the whole park.

[hoju74]

What does everyone think is a good time to arrive ? Park opens at 10:30, so I was planning on arriving around 9:30 or so. I already have my pass, so I don't need to get anything processed.

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

If you really want to get on the first ride, then yes. I'm probably going to arrive around 9:45

Yes, I believe if you buy the $24.99 opening weekend online ticket you can upgrade to a season pass for another $39.99 once inside the park, but I would call them just to be sure. I'm pretty sure that the season passholder "bring a friend for $19.99" ticket is NOT valid for the season pass upgrade.

[JaminOut]

It is. I did it last year, so I'd be surprised if it doesn't work this year.

Officially not going to advocate day. Opening day is leaning towords doubtful but still possible. I'll let y'all know if I can go, I'd love to meet more forum people this year. I've only met Koss, Matt Warda, and Joey.

Edit: not going to advocate day or opening day, maybe the day after opening day.

[CoasterCale]

That's my crew man. Must've been on a day when I wasn't there, otherwise you would've meet me too.

I bought them yesterday, the description says "Upgrade this ticket to a Season Pass for only $29.99 at the Pass Activation Center"

I wish they would just do this on their website. If you buy an opening day ticket the system offers to upgrade you to a season pass for 59.00 for a total of 83.99 yet I can buy an opening day 24.99 ticket and at the park upgrade for 29.99 for a total of $54.98, a $30 savings.

Now I just need to find out how much to upgrade one of them to gold so I don't need to pay for parking everytime

[Viper 88]

^SSH The big wigs at Six Flags will hear you. And they will stop having such a nice deal.
In response to upgrading to gold I think you are better off buying the season parking flat out I think it is a savings of $10-20.0 0 And gold is really only worth it if you are going to definitely use the extra bring a friend free ticket. But just to be safe call ahead anyways.

Awh darn! it was two seperate days though one time Koss was alone and the other time was Joey and matt... Koss may have even been 2014. Feels so long ago.

Between all the season pass sales over the winter and the opening weekend ticket/upgrade loophole, I'm betting the season pass processing line will stretch to the carousel for most of opening weekend.

I hope you're joking. I have to process my pass on Opening Day. Guess I'd better get there early!

[Dan The Coaster Man]

I've seen huge lines for activation during fright fest... I've never personally seen the like opening weekend or the weekend after... I can't imagine.

[stockboy300]

I'll be there both days. Probably wearing a V2 shirt or a Goliath shirt. I need to add gold dinning to my season pass. So thats my goal for the first day. Maybe catch a ride or two.

I have a 2016 gold pass already processed @ the end of FreightFest (card in hand). My question is that I added the Dining pass this past month and have the printed voucher, so what is the best way to add it to my 2016 activated pass? Can they add it at the main gate turnstile, can I just go to the food place (Trolley Treats?) by Home town Fun machine, or worse case do I have to wait in the Season pass line?
I need my 2016 bottle that was part of the food pass as well which I beleive is redeemable at Trolley Treats.
Just do not want to wait in the season pass line if possible.
Thanks

[Dan The Coaster Man]

^ I almost 100% sure you have to go to activation center. For fright fest you did redeem your bottle at trolley treats, and I assume they're still there for when you add on your dining pass.
