Totally agree about the Passport... My Gold Pass is through Kings Island. Sucks that I live in between Kings Island and Cedar Point and cant even go to Passholder Preview. Really disappointed.
Thank you so much for posting this, I am also extremely pissed, my husband and I bought the gold passes with the add on for all the parks for our boys with the dining plan for Christmas, we live in Michigan so I had already made reservations for this preview months ago thinking we would all have a blast but lord and behold Cedar Point sucks for doing this, WTF, seriously how rude, but that is what we are gonna get now that they are a part of six flags I guess, now I guess I have to tell them, at least our hotel has an indoor pool , now mommy has to be the bad one and break the news , thanks for letting me vent on your sight I have enjoyed watching the both of you and you have been a big help in planning our cedar fair trips, thanks Jessica
I made a few videos one after they updated the press release to say Cedar Point Gold Pass only… but here is my 2 cents…. They should have a passholder preview day Friday the day before park opens for all rides, and you get in line for the ride. They also have media day, and charity event. It’s really that simple. All pass holders of any kind can go and wait. It’s really stupid, because I for one can’t even buy a Cedar Point pass(cedar fair passes tied to each person and their ID) , so if I wanted to go I’d be better off right now if I had no pass at all. People can’t do anything about it, because basically they now are in control of a large majority of the US coaster parks.
Can you still get in on April 30, May 1st, and May 2nd with prestige pass? If cedar point is my home park on the passholder and I have all park passport and all season fast lane. Will dining meal plan redemptions (for example, backbeatQue) be included with my all season dining pass during these days as well they should?
@@BeachcliffStudios That's disgusting. Only for 4 hours and only 1 ride for the most expensive pass BY FAR? And the lesser, cheaper passholders get 3 days? And I, disappointedly, don't even have a partner by now. It's almost April. I've tried matchmakers, online dating, everything... only thing left is speed dating in Michigan but I don't expect much luck there honestly and time is ticking down to nothing at this point... I'm going to need to ask for my money back. All ~$3,000 of it. How do I do this? I'm afraid they'll charge me parking and tell me it's too late to change my pass AFTER I've already driven through the parking tolls if I try to do it in person at CP. And it's not like the causeway is walkable or anything. To be fair, I have not used any of my Cedar Fair 2024 stuff for either pass that I bought, one in my name and one unnamed under my credit card, for any parks to date. So, I should be eligible for refund?
Wait, I’m confused. You said you bought your specific pass up in Canada and that you can’t use it at any other Cedar fair Park . My understanding was that if you bought the special add-on that that allows you into any park you can get into any Cedar Fair park.. Am I incorrect?
It makes zero sense. The all park passport is good for any park just like the platinum pass was. We’ve used our platinum pass to get us into passholder preview days at kings island and carowinds despite cedar point being our listed home park. But cedar point is pulling this garbage.
Yes it will get you in to any other cedar fair park on normal operating days. This is just the preview day at cp. But you can use it on preview day at kings island.
@@hillorisartin6129 where did you hear you can use it at kings island? In the past you could with platinum but I was fearful that they stopped it with the new passes.
Sorry to hear about your experience, but is the event still available for Gold Passholders? I have my 2024 Gold Pass for CP. (Which I've only used last year on my October 28th visit)
I don't know what to say abut this but cedar fair really blew it. I mean they could have added some exclusive merch like a back pack full of top thrill 2 notepad, pen and pencil case, drink cup, a t-shirt, a top thrill 2 theme lettermen jacket they could have gone all out but they fell short on the keychain.
So here is an interesting conundrum. I have a Prestige Pass, and my son has a Gold Pass. I don’t even see an option for us to be able to go on the same day. I’ve gone over all the details a few times, and it seems like Prestige cannot sign up for any of the Gold/Summer days and vice versa.
Just my 2 cents as a guy with prestige passes and spends 4-5k there annually. I think this is totally fair. There are more people that want to ride than there are available slots. Everyone complains about the WCO lottery. Tony has been very forthcoming with how they go about these things. I've not seen anyone providing any solutions to this so-called problem, which leads me to believe that nobody could have done a better job. The simple fact is not everyone was going to be able to ride just considering CP passes alone. This is a fair line to draw.
You’re allowed to have your opinion. As for the better solution for wco, first come just serve like it’s been forever. I get that it’s becoming more popular lately but that shouldn’t punish others for it. Be online and if you get your ticket great, if not then sorry. But the passholder event just doesn’t make sense. We’ve gotten into passholder events at other parks for years with our platinum. And technically our home park was cedar point. So things don’t add up. That’s where our thoughts are coming from.
@@BeachcliffStudios understood and appreciate the exchange of ideas. I agree that first come, first served on WCO is the ideal way to go. Watching cedar points growth the past 30 years has been incredible, but definitely has had some growing pains/scars.
It sucks that I have prestige pass I get in for 4 hours but gold members get a 5 hour window I paid more for my pass and get less time... not only that but my minor son who wants to go has a gold pass but I can't take him because we have different passes.😒
@@darrenhoag8043 Yup, and then getting upset when you get burned by cheesing the system that way is a little bit funny honestly. I like the OP and think him and his son are cool dudes, but why scheme the system over a couple hundred bucks at most if your life is roller coaster enthusiasm?
Yeah, that's BS about that pass fellaz. You can only ride Top Thrill 2 once, so I won't be making that trip From Kalamazoo Michigan. Only 36 Days left until opening day anyway. I'm loaded up with prestige pass and season Fast Lane Plus, I'll be there the 4th, 5th, and 6th. Maybe we'll catch the same Lightning Train. Take care guys.
....How do I get a refund if I haven't used anything Cedar Fair for 2024? I purchased all season prestige pass, dining passes, bottle passes, all season fast lanes for two people including one without a name because I was expecting to find a partner by now but unfortunately Earth screwed me over on that front too and I'm depressed and miserable... can I ask for my money back? It's easily over $3,000.
Your logic about the keychain doesn’t make sense. Coastermania was a one day thing and so if you got the keychain then why wouldn’t they still provide those keychain holders with another ONE DAY availability to be some of the first to ride TT2? Instead of criticizing the park every time you don’t like something take a step back and check whether or not your own expectations were actually reasonable.
Hey guys, looks like fun times! I know you have to come through Indy going home! We saw you guys a couple of times last season of course! I would invite you and Milo to my restaurant which I am GM of for a free meal! 7430 Rockville Road Indianapolis Indiana! Come on through
This is crazy I know you guys are always on top of information as soon as you guys hear anything have a great day guys have fun at Six Flags

No, Kings island actually

Hey, where did you guys find this info at???
I tried to find it on the cedar point website and the app, but I can't seem to find it.
Tony Clark had a link to it on his Twitter page

Hey, are you guys going to be at SFSTL Saturday (3/30)? Also, great video.
We are not. Only one day at the park
@@BeachcliffStudios dang, I missed you guys because I was at St. Louis yesterday but only for the last hour the park was open
Sorry to hear about your experience, but is the event still available for Gold Passholders? I have my 2024 Gold Pass for CP. (Which I've only used last year on my October 28th visit)
Passes that have cedar point as the home park. Ours is technically Canadas wonderland
@@BeachcliffStudiosIf that's true, then crap. Michigan's Adventure is my home park :(
And my mom got me the Gold Pass from Cedar Point's official website.
CW is my home park not to worry about CP U out smart CF then them screw u over saving money is not in CF cards

You are correct. You’re being punished because cedar point can’t do an event right.
I have the same problem 😢
Crazy that prestige passholders get one day to choose from
Not really an advantage
Trent “ Not your Normal Guy “ did the same thing, announcing on the road. Lol
He copied us. 🤣

TT2 will be down almost the whole time for these previews.
Hopefully not but steel vengeance sure was
@@BeachcliffStudios
Are they using the same trains as they did on Wild Mouse?
You're not lying. 😐

They really dropped the ball on this which unfortunately isn’t unusual for cedar point. Their events aren’t always run very well.
Why is your home park Canada’s Wonderland?
Because you save money on the exchange rate
@@BeachcliffStudios smart. Didn’t think about that.

Yikes. I got a refund for two dining plans last year when they got rid of all their vegan options. Best you can do is call.
@@BeachcliffStudios I didn't realize they didn't replace Wild Turnip with something on the boardwalk which was similar??
😮😮😮
I thought you could give what you wanted to charity lol
It’s like $150 for the ride. $300 is too steep for us.
Your logic about the keychain doesn’t make sense. Coastermania was a one day thing and so if you got the keychain then why wouldn’t they still provide those keychain holders with another ONE DAY availability to be some of the first to ride TT2?

Very nice offer. We’ll unfortunately be in a hurry to get back tomorrow. We have food packed so we can drive straight though.
the "key chains" appear to be a joke!
Pretty much
I still think you can go if you have all park passport. You basically have a gold pass at each cedar fair park
Nope. Called and asked.
Even if you buy the Add-on option? I’m soooo confused 🫤
