During our guided HRP tour by VP of Operations, John Riddleman during the ACE event on Sept 9th, one of the questions asked to him was "Will there be a season pass?"

Expecting a resounding "yes", John replied that they were pondering the idea but had not made a decision as of yet seeing how most tourists to Myrtle Beach only visit once, maybe twice a year. A season pass would be beneficial basically to locals or people within a short 1-3 drive.

Well, today the HRP has announced season passes for $150 will go on sale sometime in Oct. 07. If you plan to visit at least 3 times a year then you will get your money's worth.

A carowinds season pass is $64.95. A regular ticket is $39.95. It cost $6 more to get into hrp. The price of a hrp season pass should be $150 a week before the park opens. It be smarter to buy an ipod for $150 than to get a pass.

Think someone warned something about them being High if I recall right. Lets wait till you get a chance to see what comes along with them before stones are cast.

Holiday World is $140. Most single parks are higher because they're not part of a chain that has other parks in the chain that can drive the prices of season passes down.

I'm not totally shocked or anything. The park just from the plans looks like it would be on par or close to par with the Universal parks and I know their passes run around that much.

As much as I visit MB, my pass would pay off, but I might not like HRP (doubt it), but I guess that is a fair price knowing that the park is new and has huge debt. The park is looking good though!

yeah on the discovermyrtlebeach.com or whatever it is I think they said one day is $45, parking probably won't ever be commented on.

I would figure parking to be in the $7.00-$10.00 range knowing that most park's charge those amounts!

I really miss the value of the Paramount passes, but this makes CF's Platinum Passes seem very reasonable. I'd need to sample HRP before dropping that kind of coin on a season pass to one park.

Once again you should only get a season pass if you plan to go to the park more than four times this coming year. It has already been released that you will get 10 % off food and junk you buy. Plus I am sure there will be more benefits for being a pass holder such as cheaper tickets to see some concerts and afew other perks that might make it wild to be a season pass holder. Never can tell what might drop on these boards about that.

I for one will have one for the coming year due to work related issues. It is great to have an office in Myrtle Beach and some of you know what I am referring to also.

Maybe in the coming weeks I will be allowed to post some great pics I have took the last few months of this park rising from a huge mud hole to what it is now.
