Kings Island cuts prices for 2010 season passes
Contributed By Don Helbig | Kings Island | ShareThis

KINGS ISLAND, Ohio – Kings Island is rewarding its most loyal guests by slashing prices on 2010 season passes with a four-day renewal sale.

A 2010 Kings Island Gold pass will cost $69.99 for guests that renew their 2009 season pass, a savings from last year of $20 for an individual and $80 for a family of four. A guest must visit the park on one of the following dates and show their 2009 season pass to take advantage of the four-day renewal sale: September 7, September 25, September 26 and September 27.

All season passes that are renewed during the four-day period will automatically be upgraded to Gold at no additional charge, providing the guest with free season-long parking – a savings of $39.99 per family – along with a number of VIP benefits such as early rides every day on the Diamondback and Beast roller coasters, early entry into the 15-acre Boomerang Bay waterpark and a reserved parking area.

“Our renewal offer is a way of helping families cut back on expenses without comprising family fun and entertainment,” said Matt Shafer, director of marketing at Kings Island. “When all is said and done, the average family will save more than $100 by taking advantage of this deal.”

Labor Day, September 7 will be the best of the four renewal sale days to visit and lock in this deal for next year, Shafer said.

Kings Island 2010 season passes (Regular, Gold and Platinum) go on sale September 4. There is no increase on any season pass price for next year. A few areas, including Regular adult passes and Platinum four-packs, are priced lower than last year at this time.

Beginning September 4, all 2010 season pass options can be purchased at the park on public operating days and hours through November 1. Season passes can also be purchased by phone toll free at (800) 288-0808 or online at http://www.visitkingsisland.com.

I agree I think that if you are a passholder, you should get a cheaper upgrade that year. It would be common sense to any company that cares about there guests.

I think last year I got my season pass for $59.99, but you have to pay more money for parking. To me, season passes are too undervalued because people are getting a full season. It's completely ridiculous in my opinion for almost one days price to equal a full season for free. It's like charging $14 to go to any movie at AMC, Regal, Century, Marcus and so on during 6 months. Does Mcdonald's charge you $6 for a Big Mac, and than you can go there anytime you want in 6 months to get a "free" Big Mac?

The parks need to cut back on the money they are putting in the parks so they don't have to charge so high in regular admissions, but still they should have higher season pass prices than even $59.99.

The only bad park about the Kings Island one is it is not the Cedar Fair pass, just that park.

With the Six Flags pass, I can buy mine for the 2010 season at Six Flags St. Louis for around 50 bucks. That is stupid cheap and they allow you to add a 2nd parking pass for a cheaper price.

The biggest thing to me in that article that I didn't mention while reading it to me is this:
"Diamondback and Beast roller coasters"

Son of Beast coming back? That's what it says.

[rct2wizard360]

Roller coasters is plural for Diamondback and Beast. That's two roller coasters. Plural.

Oh, I was reading it as

Beast roller coasters (Beast and Son of Beast)
