Best time to get your season pass?

I'm a new season pass holder. I just bought mine in December. (whoot whoot!) When is the best time to redeem your season pass at the center? I have a week off in early april and my sister and I were thinking about going then. Or if that blows over we'll go when we first go to the Point. Any suggestions?

Do NOT wait until Opening Day.

Otherwise you will end up with this. You're better off going during April, or waiting until later that opening week to make your first trip.

If that ever happens to me. I will just go ahead and pay for my admission that day.

A while ago I heard about something... like you could get your money back when you went to redeem your pass if you kept the receipt. I don't know though.

Now on topic... I would defintley go before opening day, just any free time you think you might have, check season pass hours and drive up.

I wish I could go opening day. Stupid school. But anywho, yeah we plan on going during spring break in April. Thanks!

That's what I'm thinking. I'm driving down though. haha. I just hope this nasty Michigan weather cooperates too by that time.

^Well maybe all of this nasty weather is a good indicator that the upcoming summer will be really nice.

Last I heard the season pass center opens up sometime in the middle of April, but I'm not to sure about the exact date.

Maybe. I hope the weather's nice this summer. This Michigan weather has been weird this winter. On Tuesday it was like 45 degrees and raining and the next day it was like 32 and snowing? Last night Southeast Michigan got anywhere from 3 inches to 18 inches of snow. Crazy huh?

Back on track though, yeah I e-mailed one of the head of Park Operations person thing and I was told early April. So I hope its open when I have my spring break week off. If you hear anything else let me know! :]

Ridingon - just a quick tip. You don't need to quote the entire post right before yours. It helps keep things clean. Welcome to Po!ntbuzz.

Thanks for the advice! I'm still new to this stuff.

Last year I got there the day before opening and only waited about 10 mins. at the photo shoot. It was a very long line the next morning don't wait....

For those of you planning on going to the season pass center in April, don't forget the P4 meeting.

Last year I processed my CP Season Pass the day before KI opened, then I drove down to KI that day and got a hotel, then went to KI opening day.
I plan to do the same thing again this year.

Ill probably go to the park sometime the week before KI opens too, but it wont be Saturday. Notre Dame's Spring Game is that day, Ill day trip it to the Bend on Sat and then day trip to KI for Opening Day on Sunday before I buckle down for my last test of the year.

last year that happened to me but it wasent opening day and we just payed to get in than the next day we went to GL and got it

Last year I went the day after opening day around 6pm. Waiting in no lines and had a chance to run to Magnum and get 3 rides, including last train of the night.

Well I got my voucher but I don't think I will be able to get my pass until June, because of school.

I got to the park at 9 a.m. and the line wasn't even that long, it only took an hour for me to get my pass. But I would probably agree going earlier than opening day, you would be better off.

Since I live 2 1/2 hours away and can't drive there alone, I have to wait till opening day to get mine done (also the gas prices in Michigan are killer, so if I'm going there for my pass, I'm going to ride something).

Wait...I'm confused, you PAID to get in one day and got your season pass the next? Your sentence makes no sense.

I would wait until opening day. In fact, we always have.

BUT: we got there at around 8:30 am. We were second in line, and they open the booths early to start processing people every year. All said, it took about 7 minutes, and we were in line before the park opened.

Now, there was a big difference between 8:15 and 10am...so if you know you can get there early, there's no need to make an extra trip.

As I'm writing this, though...I think this year everyone has to get a picture? If that is the case, add some time, but not much.

What is wrong with getting your season pass at Michigans Adventure for instance?
