Season Pass Price

I have been going to Cedar Point ever since I was a little kid, and once I hit high school, my friends and I would go down a couple times a summer for the weekend. Anyways, my point is that I never considered a season pass, jus assuming that it would be a couple hundred dollars or so. I assumed you would have to go A LOT to make it worth buying. So two years ago when I randomly looked at the season pass prices I couldn't believe that it was less than $100!

So, this will be my third year having a season pass. I am just wondering, doesn't everything think a season pass is dirt cheap when it costs $40 something for a day pass?

i spend like 200 something dollars on my pass
i get cedar point, geauga lake, parking for both and joe cool, i really think i got soak city last year too ( even though i never went ) and i spent some ridiculous amount like 250 dollars, but think about it, i went like 23 times last year, it over paid itself, i almost felt bad.

Let's do the math just for fun
we'll round and say 40 for prices okay....okay

40 x 23 = 920 dollars
+
8 ( for parking ) x 23 = 184

184 + 920 = a grand total of

1104! i would say a season pass is a great investment even if you end up going 5 times....definetly get parking though, its a great add-on

It's actually $9 for parking.....which is why I get a parking pass with my SP(with JCC).

I payed a total of $187 for my pass(+ PP and JCC) but I definatly think it's a reasonable price. As it's said, "It pays for itself in 3 trips."

Im actually going 12 times this year.
SO.....
12 x 40 = $480
9 x 12 = $108

$480 + $108 = $588!

And don't get me started on gas!!!:)

A season pass is definatley a great deal, it almost felt like I was stealing from the park after how many times that I went last year.:)

I think $9.00 is a complete rip off to park, just my opinion

CDCP,

That's funny. I have had a SP for years and still feel the park steals from me! Even with the pass, each trip cost me several hundred dollars.

A season pass with parking is well worth it, especially since I hardly ever stay overnight, so each trip only costs me gas and sometimes food. Plus it gets me into Michigan's Adventure as well.

The reason that they are able to offer them at such a low price is that you will either...
A. Not use it enough for it to pay for itself, (2 times of less) or,
B. While you might not be paying admission, they're counting on the fact that you'll be buying things liks food and souvineers while you're at the park.

The money you save with the pass and its added bonuses (including JCC) will probbaly be what you spend on gas money...but regardless, you are still saving money :)

If you plan on staying 2 or 3 days the season pass is the only way to go.We live 8 hours away,so when we go to the point we always stay at least 3 days,even if your just there two weekends a year that would be alot of money in daily tickets.CP has their season passes very cheap,for the amount of rides,and everything else.

Go to a Six Flags park and say that Cedar Point has it bad. Parking at most of their parks is $15!! :O *** Edited 3/30/2006 4:26:41 AM UTC by TTD 120mph***

Of course when they were on sale in the fall with the free JCC club included with combo passes, it would have only been another $14 to get that Soak City combo too. I think they like people like me. Start with the basic pass then "well, it's only $xx to add this, then it's only $xx to add this." Before you know it I've spent $200 on a $100 pass. But it's still well worth it.

Every Six Flags I have been to has had parking at $10 or below.

Which Six Flags charges 15.00?

Pretty much all of them!
SF:A -$15
SF:DL -$10
SF:EG -$15
SF:FT -$10
SF:GADV -$15
SF:GA-?
SF:KK-It says $5 on their site.
SF:MM -$15
SF:MW -$15
SF:NE -$15
SF:OG -$15
SF:OMA-?
SF:OT -$15
SF:St.Louis -$15

I think, with Shapiro and everything, the prices have gone up since you went Ben.

You would think with a ticket price as high as what they are they would be a little cheaper on parking.It don't matter anyway after going to SFOG I will never go to another SF park again.

When I go I pack my own launch. I get nothing but free water. I will buy only one meal te enitre time. I only spend about 10 dollars everytime I go.

Spending $10 each time you go is cool, but not the norm. Add what you spend each time you go (ESPECIALLY if you have kids) to the price of the SP and you'll understand why CP makes a ton of money off season pass holders.

I'll be getting my SP in a couple of weeks at Michigan's Adventure. It's a little cheaper there and a much shorter drive for me.

Plus I get to see that park coming alive.

Who needs to wait 2 hours in line for an undependable ride when you can pack your own launch! ;)

Nice. I wish I could afford one of those for me:)
