Amos needs to start listening to
People's advice. It's almost like he's asking the park to cut ties. #justsayin

Can someone explain how season passes work for me as far as revenue I guess. I"m sort of ignorant to how it works or benefit the park for someone like me who goes almost daily. I know in two visits the pass is paid for which benefits me because I don't pay for parking or tickets or now food. Does the park get some type of % per swipe?... idk lol

Even with a Platinum Pass + All Season Dining, I still spent a pretty good amount of money on food not included with the plan, Slingshot rides, fast lanes and more. While others may not be like me, the park definitely made money on me. Which is fine by me if it makes the park's profits look good for Cedar Fair. (Is it bad that I think about my spending like that? :lol: )

^ I do spend money on merchandise and slingshot , ripcord as well as food not included on the dining plan so they get my coins as well.

I think one of the biggest perks, as far as a company is concerned, is that season passes are solid incomes you can see, feel and touch whereas the daily ticket sales is more of "I hope we do this much business" kind of deal.

When doing the books you know what you have and don't have rely on speculation.

Also, as you have stated you tend to spend a little more money at the park than you do on a daily ticket.
