2018 Membership Options

What I think they should offer is a 30 minute early entry, where rides are actually opened for that 30 minutes, but instead of it being the whole park, it should be sections of the park, which maybe has 1 or possibly 2 coasters and some flats, and then have it on a rotating schedule. That way they only need to have that group of employees in earlier that day to get the rides opened on time. Obviously there may be day where something happens and some of the rides can’t be opened early, (weather, maintenance issues) and in that case they should offer an additional skip the line pass or something to members who scanned their pass before park opening, that were inconvenienced by this.

So maybe 1 day is Pandemonium, flashback, scrambler, balloon race. Blizzard River depending on weather/season. Another day is WiCy and NESS. Then another day is Superman, Catwoman and GCG. Then Thunderbolt, Scream, Fireball, Teacups, Kontiki. Then split the South End rides into 2 days: Batman, ME, Crime wave. HQ & Joker. Finally; Goliath, Tomahawk, Houdini, Rock n Rodeo, Bumper Cars.

Am I missing anything?

Obviously this set up only works for daily operation, so until then the park would need to alternate days or group the main coasters together and split it, some Saturday some Sunday.

^That would really add value to the pass/memberships but would take some money, organization and planning to achieve. If you offer it as a perk you have to come thru regularly. Of course the other rides should still open at regular opening time too. I like this approach better than the ERTs offered to pass holders now that are during regular operation hours because this is an extra for pass holders without taking anything away from other guests.

Well maybe the park is reading this and they can take the idea to corporate and figure something out!

We have updated the post on the website with the Q & A - Questions 15 & 21 have been updated and questions 34 & 35 have been added! The park emailed me this evening, with updates & new answers!

If anybody has questions about the Q & A we did or if you have more unanswered questions, let us know because on Saturday we will ask them during ACE Nor Easter and get them to the Park before Saturday, If not we can email the park afterward and get the answers everybody needs!

We will be going over this tonight on The Grove Show, So if you have any comments, concerns, complaints, happy thoughts, or just want to watch click the youtube link below. it goes down at 8:30 PM EST tonight!

I bit the bullet and upgraded from my gold season pass to the Diamond Elite membership today. Looking forward to seeing how the benefits work out.

yea i'm going to do the same.

Did you get your “refund” bugs bucks??

^Not yet. They said it can take a few days for everything to get updated due to the high amount of requests.

I know big bunny bucks will be available at the park when you go to get the new card , also when you upgrade bring your 2018 gold pass with you as it states when doing the upgrade !

I actually recorded a step by step process to go from gold pass to a membership , I’ll going to edit that tomorrow night and upload it !

Received the follow up email saying the bucks are now assigned to my membership and as Josh said the instructions say to pick them up at member services. When I login to the member portal it now show me as being diamond elite and all the perks are there.

IM willing to bet that the processing of these passes is going to be a crap fest lol so i guess we shall be patient and see what happens lmfao

@Sluggo77 can you reserve your priority parking for opening day??

yup, i did it yesterday , once your in the system and you sign into the portal if you look into the menu on the left and then when you click reserve parking, then there is a drop-down menu for which park you want and then you get a reserved ticket which you can bring in the email, print out, it has a barcode to scan

Does it have your name or member # on it? Or just the barcode?
