Kings Island season pass prices increase and no longer include other Six Flags parks

Interesting change of direction here: raising prices and cutting back features. Not sure how well this one will go over: https://www.wcpo.com/money/...lags-parks

They finally read this website.

I think I posted this in the other thread, but the CF parks used to do this more or less every year. The Fall renewal price is the lowest of the year, and usually includes some kind of sweetener. The sweetener drops off then price goes up until it peaks sometime during the season.

Selling 17 month all-park passes for as low as $55 is going to haunt Six Flags for a long, long time. They've told people how highly they should value their product... and the answer is 'not very'

You mean it was cheaper when it was on sale? How 'bout dat.

But seriously, the price needed to go up. I hope other SF parks follow. Maybe this will lead to lower crowds and higher profit.

The prestige pass is still affordable. $54 initial payment, then $9 a month for nine months, is reasonable and affordable to almost anyone.

Sometimes I wonder... Do people read for comprehension or not?

They stated the MVP was a limited deal. The deal is over... Nothing to see here.

To be fair, they kept extending the sell over and over again that even I thought it would just continue until the end of the year. I'm actually shocked they finally ended it and the prices went up.

The thing is once the original limted time ends they can stop it at any point. Thinking they would keep extending it is not a reason to be mad that they didn't extend it again. This isn't selling passes in the fall of the preceeding year and then canceling a winter event or adding a charge to mazes that were free.

This is more like not buying something expecting a Black Friday sale and then one not happening.

What this does make me wonder is what again happens to those of us with legacy memberships in Six Flags. In August we were told we had the all park access starting in January, but will that be honored?

All in all, the price increase isn't surprising, though I am a bit surprised about the downgrade in features so quickly.

What features... It's the normal Cedar Fair Pass rules they are doing if you compare to that we are looking at the normal Gold and Prestige season pass rules are what they are using at KI. Which is where this media outlet is local to.

They got complaints last year about not announcing the charge for mazes in Haunt. This time it's spelled out.

dragonoffrost, I don't think anyone is angry about it ending. I think with it being such an insane deal to begin with, anyone that was planning on buying an All Park Passport likely already did. Even my non-coaster enthusiast buds asked about it because it felt too good to be true.

People that pick up the Passport from this point on likely aren't working to get the best savings. They are just going to buy the pass, especially given that traditionally, the first renew offer is the best it gets. And for folks that actually did miss out because the thought better savings would come later on...well...they won't make that mistake again.

Still, I don't think they will ever give the All Park Passport away again.
