It looks like Cedar Fair is shaking up their passes again for 2024 but this one makes sense. Instead of having varied levels you basically have your gold pass and then the access to all parks is an add on option. If pricing remains similar this should simplify things while keeping it affordable.
For Cedar Point, Carowinds, and Kings Island these parks will have two choices of passes with Gold or Prestige but the add-on option remains the same even if you get the Prestige pass.
I wonder if this closes the trick of buying a platinum pass from Canada’s Wonderland for the exchange rate and activating at a different park first. I assume a gold pass with the add-on would first need to be used at the home park.
The thought crossed my mind but I feel like they now have a benefit to cross park activation because some that have KD as their home park may want the Prestige pass for CP, KI, and Carowinds which would force them to buy at the other park and would be a benefit to CF in selling a higher priced pass.
I’m anxious to see the whole announcement… It’s really confusing me that they dropped this before they roll out the new passes.
