Cedar Fair offers free admission to military personnel on holiday weekends

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Cedar Fair Entertainment Company has announced that it will offer free admission to active and retired United States military personnel on Sunday and Monday of both the Memorial Day and July 4th weekends as a part of its Tribute to the Armed Forces program.

Read the entire press release form Cedar Fair.

Who didn't see this coming after last years incident? Is incident even the right category?

I think busch parks are doing this every day of the year.

After looking, yep...they are.

Anheuser-Busch is honored to salute the men and women of our armed forces and their families. Throughout 2010, members of the military and as many as three direct dependents may enter any one of Anheuser-Busch's SeaWorld, Busch Gardens or Sesame Place parks with a single-day complimentary admission.


what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I don't mean to diss a good deed, but if it were really a sincere honor, wouldn't they do it on Saturday as well? It just feels like the motive is to get more butts in the park (because every military person will bring paying family) on the less popular days of those weekends.

I agree mostly. However, they didn't have to do anything at all. So, it's nice that they did this.

Does Six Flags offer free admission as well?

I was thinking the same thing.
