Season pass question
The website says that you get a bring a friend ticket when you renew your season pass. I just renewed mine and received the pass information and a free Fastlane but not a ticket for my girlfriend? We plan to make a trip up there tomorrow. Is it on the pass?
I also have a question regarding the season pass. I just purchased my first Platinum Pass (2019) and therefore am entitled to one free 2018 visit which I plan to do next weekend. First off, am I correct to assume that I'll have to pay for parking for this visit even though next year I'll have it for free? Second, does the voucher I received work as the admission ticket for that day? I did not receive a secondary ticket.
So here's how the Platinum Passes work in the Cedar Fair system:
1. If you buy a Platinum Pass before January 1 of the season you bought it for (exception is Knott's, but we'll ignore that for simplicity), all the pass benefits are not loaded onto the card until January 1. Thus, even if you scan your Platinum Pass at the toll booth for this weekend, it won't activate your Free Parking benefit; thus, you have to pay for parking.
2. The only exception to this rule is premium benefits given for purchasing before January 1. For your case, this would a free admission ticket, and for renewing passholders, this would be a free FLP and a Bring-A-Friend ticket. These premium benefits are added to your pass immediately upon first payment. Therefore, all you need to do is scan your Platinum Pass at the toll booth and ask to use your free admission benefit. Remember that this is only good for one use, so unless you purchase the additional visits benefit for the remainder of 2018, your Platinum Pass will not have any more benefits attached to it until January 1, 2019.
