The Popularity of Amusement Park Season Passes

Before the start of the summer season when most amusement parks officially open for business, they are often bombarded with people waiting in long lines to buy season passes. Thrill ride enthusiasts who frequent amusement parks purchase these passes, which is like a discount card for the entire season. Rather than paying the entrance fee every single time they visit the amusement park, they buy a season pass. The season pass allows them to visit the park an unlimited amount of times, and it is less expensive to buy the it than to pay the ticket price for each visit. This type of passes are most popular for amusement parks like Six Flags, which has many locations in countries around the world, and Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, as well as other lesser known amusement parks and water parks.

If you decide to get a season pass for a place like Six Flags or Busch Gardens, you should be prepared for a long wait because they are in high demand. You would need to bring proper identification like a passport or driver’s license. When you enter the location where you obtain a season pass, it might look like picture day at school. That is the case, at least, for Six Flags Great Adventure, which is located in Jackson, New Jersey.

At Great Adventure, you enter a dimly lit building. Curtains act as dividers, and there are chairs situated in front of the curtains, which act as the background for the photograph that is used on the pass. You could see an ID system that might produce more than 2,000 season passes a week, depending on how many people are interested in purchasing them this season. This ID system is put to heavy use during the weeks leading up to the opening day of Great Adventure. This is because, prior to opening day, Great Adventure runs a special and sells discounted season passes – which is the best value for those who frequently come to the park. As the opening day nears, the price slowly increases.

Park employees recommend that season pass carriers put their cards in an ID holder because they could easily bend and break, especially if they are kept inside pants pockets when people go on rides. An ID holder acts as a protective case to prevent any damage. It is actually recommended that amusement park goers do not put their passes in their pockets for the ideal way to keep a pass from being damaged.

Choosing to purchase a season pass for yourself or family members is a great money-saving idea, especially in today’s economy in which the majority of people are trying to get discounts in any possible way. If you or your family members like go to the amusement park quite often, at least more than five times in a season, then buying a season pass is well worth it. These passes usually pay for themselves after three to five visits, depending on their cost. So, if you go to the amusement park more than five times during the summer, then you are essentially going for free after the fourth or fifth trip!
