I'm having problems understanding the gold pass. Parking is the only Perk? I have extreme pass now I was hoping to have the same perks. Loved the exit passes and alternate water park entrance. I don't travel to other parks.

Yes the free parking is a $75 saving off the normal price but you you have to buy 4 passes to get that discount all 4 pass gets the parking so 4 of us is getting $75 off each.
We already have the 4 people we need for this one there may be more in the future if your looking to save $75 for the parking fee.
EDIT: The water park says (First entry to the water park before other guests beginning in 2013) I guess then when it first opens not sure.
Hey everyone. I just sent out payment requests to the 3 guys who were in my group. Unfortunately, I did get a PM from some others who wished to be added to the group but thanks to certain limitations on my financial situation I can really only help out a group of 4 right now. The main issue was that to keep everyone comfortable about the transaction, I didn't want to collect money from anyone until I pretty much already paid for the order myself. That way they just re-pay me, I send the vouchers, and I'll only have possession of other people's money for a matter of minutes before they see that they got what they paid for. Whereas if everyone paid me first, I could have set up as large of a group as necessary, but it would have taken a few days to get Paypal payments, transfer it to my bank, put it on my Discover card, and then order our passes. I didn't expect anyone to trust me to have their money for 3 or 4 days without worrying that they would never hear from me again. So this caused some limitations in the fact that I had to come up with my own money to make a $250+ order, and to further accommodate more people in the group without slowing down the ordering process, I was going to continue to have to pull multiples of $65 out of thin air because I don't have it right now.
So bottom line we do still have a few guys hoping they can be a part of the group deal and I'm hoping we can find a few others. Maybe mods even want to let someone start a fresh thread to search for group members because this one got so watered down with the long posts as I was trying to hash out the initial details of how this would work. The OP of this thread alexlohan is one of the guys who signed up to order with me so I don't think he'd mind if this thread was locked so a new one could be started. I feel bad that I couldn't help out everyone who was interested so let's try to find enough people for a second group. Surely there are some other people out there who want a gold pass for $65.
As of a few minutes ago all three guys in my group should have an email with a scan of their voucher attached. We should be all set. And I didn't even scam anyone. Thanks for the painless transaction and quick payments. I plan on sticking around the forums and if there's anything I can do to help 4 other people get together and form a group since I was unable to help a few of you, let me know.
Yes thanks to everyone involved i got my voucher and going today.
I have a bar-code scanner and it worked fine it show up as the TICKET #.
EDIT: Anyone in this group like to meet up at the park PM me I go solo so it would be nice to have someone to go with I live 10 min from the park, I'll probably go every day there open.
That's very cool everything worked out for all of you! Android is definitely a stand up dude.
I, however am in search of a new group who would like to get together to get in on this deal. Hopefully there are others like myself who can't pass up this deal and just need some extra buyers to make it happen. Anyone?
Thanks for the update buddy! Looking forward to getting mine processed this Saturday. How were the crowds today? Do they give you anything with your season pass (the freebies) or is that all stuff you will pick up in 2013? Also, do you know if the free parking perk is valid for the rest of 2012?
I was there on labor day and it was not busy and the water park had less people than I would think I was looking on top of bull even though it was pretty hot today. I got there 10AM and left 2pm.
Next Saturday is gay day so it might get busy but they have a special event after the park closes 9pm to 1am so many probably won't be there until later in the evening.
We won't get the coupon book til next season.
Yes the parking is good for 2012 after you process your pass, I got dropped off so I didn't have to pay parking.
30 min wait for season pass processing everyone getting the gold pass 15 viper 15 bull 20 x flight second time 25 min 15 eagle red front
I'm going Saturday also maybe we can meet up I live 10 min from the park you can pick me up and use my pass for the parking.
Trying to decide if I'm going tomorrow. Not sure what crowds will be like considering public school started this week, 60 degrees with 20% chance of rain, out in the park event at night, etc. Maybe Sunday will be quieter, isn't it the first Bears game of the year.
Were we ever able to find a few other people to order together in another group? I still feel bad that i couldn't fit everyone onto my credit card.
