Picking up season pass questions

Hello everyone it's been a long time since I have posted and I have a few quick questions about picking up season passes. I have a trip planned for June 5th. One of the members of the group is purchasing a season pass that day also. I was just wondering...

1) Where is the building located to pick up the pass? (Somewhere around the entrance gates I assume)
2) How big of an ordeal/how long does it usually take to pick it up?
3) Is there an easy way such as a designated lot to pick it up and continue on perimeter road to park in the Soak City lot or will we have to park in the main lot with the masses?

Thanks in advance!

As you walk up to the main gate, to the left is the season pass purchase windows. If you go around the left corner of the building, there is the line for processing your season pass. On opening weekend, I waited about 20 minutes. The following weekend I processed my daughter's pass and and it was about 10 minutes. You fill out a form while your waiting in line, they call you in and take your picture. Wa-lah.

As for parking, you have a few options. Park in the main lot, process your pass and then drive around to SC lot. Or, if you go straight to the SC lot, you can purchase a one-day ticket and when you make your way to the front of the park, take it to the season pass purchase window and they will refund you the difference (if you're purchasing your pass at the park). I'm not sure if they'll refund your ticket price if you have already purchased your season pass.

Or, drop your friend off in front, drive around and park in back, marathon Magnum while waiting for her.

1.-to the left of the main entrance
2.-i waited 10 minutes(it takes 2 minutes for the work)
3.- Up front i think there is a designated drop of spot. If you and your friend are going back to soak city, go to the big parking booth(it is the easiest toget onto the perimeter rd. :)
