Cedar Point has officially launched sales for its 2027 Season Passes, teaming up with Ohio native Travis Kelce to promote this year’s pass sale. While Kelce headlines the announcement, the biggest news for returning passholders is a series of significant changes to pricing, dining plans, and add-ons.
Gold Pass Price Increases
One of the first things longtime Cedar Point fans will notice is the launch price.
The 2027 Gold Pass starts at $115, compared to $99 when 2026 passes first went on sale last year.
As always, the Gold Pass includes:
- Unlimited visits for the rest of 2026 and all of 2027
- Free general parking
- Admission to all Six Flags parks in the Midwest Region, including Cedar Point, Kings Island, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Darien Lake, and Canada’s Wonderland
- Admission to seasonal events like HalloWeekends at Cedar Point, Halloween Haunt at Kings Island, and WinterFest at Kings Island
- Discounts on select food, merchandise, and tickets
Current Gold Passholders can still renew at a promotional price of $99 through September 7, 2026.
Dining Plans Receive Their Biggest Update in Years
Perhaps the biggest operational change comes to the All-Season Dining program.
Instead of a single all-season dining option, guests now have three choices:
- 20-Meal Dining Plan
- 30-Meal Dining Plan
- Unlimited All-Season Dining
Another welcome improvement is that meal redemption windows have been reduced from every four hours to every two hours, making it much easier for guests spending a full day in the park.
For many families, this will likely be one of the most significant changes to the pass program in years.
All-Season Fast Lane Nearly Doubles
One surprise is the price of Cedar Point’s All-Season Fast Lane.
For 2027, it costs $1,999, representing nearly double last year’s price.
By comparison, many other Six Flags parks currently list their All-Season Fast Lane products at around $500, making Cedar Point’s pricing a significant outlier.
It will be interesting to see whether demand supports the higher price point.
Prestige Pass Adds More Value
One bright spot is the Prestige Pass.
For 2027, the pass now includes a complimentary All-Season Drink Plan, adding even more value to benefits such as:
- Access to all Six Flags parks across North America
- Preferred parking
- VIP entrance access
- One single-use Fast Lane per visit
- Bring-a-Friend benefits
- Exclusive passholder perks
The included drink plan helps offset some of the increased cost for guests already considering the premium pass.
Travis Kelce Helps Launch the Sale
To kick off the promotion, Cedar Point and Kings Island partnered with Ohio native Travis Kelce, who reflected on growing up visiting both parks and encouraged families to create their own memories with a 2027 Gold Pass.
The limited-time introductory pricing, renewal offers, and promotional benefits are available through September 7, 2026.
Kerney-cation Thoughts
This year’s pass sale isn’t just about a celebrity partnership—it represents one of the biggest shakeups to Cedar Point’s pass program in recent memory.
The higher Gold Pass price and dramatically more expensive All-Season Fast Lane will certainly grab attention, while the revamped dining plans and the move to a two-hour meal interval are changes many guests will likely appreciate.
Overall, I think the new dining structure is a positive step for most visitors, but the increase in Fast Lane pricing will likely spark plenty of discussion among Cedar Point’s biggest fans.
We’ll continue breaking down each pass, dining option, and add-on to help you decide which combination offers the best value for your family before the September 7 deadline.
