News: Cedar Point season passholders to get free admission at Geauga Lake

Good idea. Maybe they can turn some of those passes into two-park passes for next year.

Great Idea. I have a feeling that Cedar Fair was only going to have two types of passes next year anyway. 1 for amusement and 1 for that and waterparks.

yes. this is probably a test to see how well it works.

I wonder if people who already have the combo pass could still use the offer to bring a friend for free? That would be nice!

I guess you could look at this in a couple ways....

1. They are keeping the two park pass for CP and GL next year and want to generate higher sales for next year.

2. They are going with a single CF season pass are testing to see how many CF season passholders (without the two-park pass) will go there in addition to CP.

My guess is as good as anyones outside CF....

How does this affect me personally? I really enjoyed GL this year with my two-park pass and would buy it again. I will have been to CP 6 times and GL 3 times this year.

If they allow me to go to PKI on that pass, I probably will go once a year. I am excited about being able to take my kids to PKI, but other than that, I have no interest in going, other than to ride Beast once.

What a great idea. I am sure that half of the people that take advantage of this will be susprised by how good Wildwater Kingdom actually is.

Seeing as my partner and I both have a combo pass, they should offer something for those people. I think for those 2 days they should allow ANY Cedar Fair passholder into the Paramount's for those days. We'd head down to PKI in a second.

I'm not sure we've visited the same WWK, McLaughadoodle. The WWK I visited had a poor layout, apathetic staff, lack of tubes (but that's what the Internets is for, I guess. It is a series of them, after all), gross water in the wave pool, and no shade.

I respectfully disagree. I was there on a Sunday in August with my wife and two kids, and although the water side was standing room only, we enjoyed it tremendously. We are former combo pass owners, who switched to two park. While not quite up to snuff with Soak City, it is definately on its way, and the changing rooms for the men was a nice touch.

My only complaints are that there was only 1 ATM and 1 set of restrooms that was easily accessible in WWK and the "transportation" to the other side was a luagh out loud joke from a bad airport movie! I kept hearing the Airport workers in Houston saying "xcuse the caart pleaaase!"

Hmmmm.....chalk up my vote as thinking WWK is a pretty good water park, especially for families. Couple that with the low cost of the gate and having access to the ride half, and that makes it an excellent value in my book.

JMHO

The park has had an ATM issue for a while.

That's interesting, I didn't realize a Cedar Point pass didn't already get you into Geagua Lake. We have Worlds of Fun season passes and went to both parks in June at no charge. And the WOF season pass is $30 less than a Cedar Point pass.

BTW, the water park at Geagua lake absolutely rules. The fact it is new, clean, and the staff was the most attentive and helpfull that I have ever seen at a water park.

One funny story, the old man who drove the golf cart for us between the the two sides was one of the former ferry captains. He was very bitter the boats were no longer in operation. Asked us to pettition the office to bring them back. Which I never did but should.

Due to the proximity of the parks, you must add-on the season pass ability for the "other" park. Those are the only two parks in the chain like that and only because their main draw is basically the same area for both parks.

With the free admission, I will probably be there both days and will probably have a different guest with me both days.

This sounds nice, I doubt I'll get over there though.

Will people who already have a cp pass with geauga

lake add on, still be able to bring a friend for free?

They don't say so specifically, but I would think so. They would be a Cedar Point Season Passholder as well, so I don't know why they'd be excluded.

Whoa awesome.

I emailed the park with that question and am awaitng a response, Magnum Lantz. I'll be sure I post the response in here when I get it.
