Percentage of Season Passholders to regular ticket

I found it interesting that 50% of people are season pass holders. I can see that at the parks closer to major metropolitan areas, I wonder how that number holds up at a destination park like Cedar Point.

With such a high percentage of passholders it makes sense the other parks don't really offer much as early entry benefits.

I would've expected the number to be around 30%. The platinum pass is a good value and CF has many parks across the map. So far I've gone to CP 11 times, Carowinds for 2 days and will be at Kings Island this weekend. So that's 3 parks that I've went to just this year alone. Since the pass covers my admission, I only need lodging and food when visiting other parks, which can keep trip costs down. So now I can actually see why the percentage may be so high. Plus frequent visitors will likely buy add-ons such as meal plans, FunPix, etc and will probably be doing a good deal of in-park spending.
