Other Park Passes

9 hour ride to RIDE!!

Wednesday, April 4, 2007 1:09 PM

Does any one know if Cedar Point has upgraded the scanner for season passes from other parks. My season pass is from Dorney and we go out to Cedar Point for a week every year, and it is a pain to wait in the Guest Services for them to write down the pass number on all 5 of our passes.

What's so painful about it? It takes us maybe a minute to get through with 4 passes.

I'll take a wild guess and say they've upgraded it. It sounds like they've done a lot of upgrades over the winter with passes. They can scan parking passes now, right? Or, was it just that they can encode the season pass with parking?

Well this year with the addition of the Paramount parks, we will be visiting King's Dominion and King's Island as well as CP and GL. I was just wondering, in the past we have had Six Flags passes and theirs work at all the parks, and always wondered why CP hadn't upgraded yet.

I'm sure the other "original" Cedar Fair parks won't change the process. You'll still have to have the pass numbers logged by hand at whatever gate you go through. They may have a scanner for the Paramount Parks though, just because they were already all on the same system (and from what I hear they don't have pictures on their passes).

Is it really that much of a pain to wait a few seconds for someone to write down the pass numbers? It always amused me to see how frustrated people would get when I had to pencil in their numbers. It's a matter of seconds, but people act like they are so inconvenienced by it.

Well...
We had to wait ten minutes at guest services at Valleyfair! this past labor day weekend. There were two families ahead of us that were having their kids measured. If we didn't have to wait those 10 minutes we would have been able to ride Wild Thing before the massive downpour hit. Is it so difficult to be able to walk up to any CF park and have your pass scanned?

There is a simple way to avoid the "long waits" at CP though, go to any gate that isnt the Main one. For years my family would go to WOF or VF! before CP and we found that by going to other gates we avoid guest services and the employees at those gates have a clipboard on hand to write down your pass #s. If you are there at opening they will also generally let you fill it out before hand.

^^ - if they don't have the equipment in place then it is impossible to walk up to any CF park and have your pass scanned.

^Obviously. My point is that the equipment should be in place. That's one thing six flags actually does right.

Good news from Dorney Park in PA. My family and I went today to visit and if you have a sister park pass you NO LONGER need to check in at guest services. The season passes from other parks are scanned at teh gate like a Dorney Pass, I was wondering if Cedar Point was now up to date with the new equipment? Has anybody with a sister park pass been there lately?

I have Max Passes to Kings Island. When we were at the park the end of July. All we had to do was go into the building next to the Magnum Gate, door is marked "employees only", sign in the name on the pass and the park that is your home park. That is it. Took less than a minute. I was really supprised that there was no verification of identity or anything even remotely close. No numbers were ever taken off the passes either, they remaind in my hand the entire time.

They dont writ down the number anymore. All we did was write our name and checked which park our pass was from. They stamped our hands and we went through the gate. 2 min with a family of 6 in front of us. Not that big of a pain.

Passes from the other original cedar fair parks have your picture, so all we have to do is look at that and have you sign your name, then go in. From paramount parks, you sign your name and we scan them at the computer, which brings up information and the photo, so it usually doesn't take more than a minute.
