I purchased a Season Pass, what's next?

New Season Passholder:
If you selected the mobile Season Pass option during checkout, you do not need to process your Season Pass at the park.

If you selected the physical Season Pass option during checkout, you will need to have your Season Pass processed. To do this, simply bring the confirmation voucher that you received via email to the Main Gate Auto Booths for entry.  Then, you will proceed to Guest Services (inside the park).  There, you will receive your physical Season Pass card that you will use for entry and in-park discounts and offers.
Renewal Season Passholder: When you renew your Season Pass for next season, continue to use the same card or select the new mobile Season Pass option to easily store your Season Pass card in your Google or Apple Wallet! Note: a fee will apply to replace a lost card. Please note that there will be a deadline to renew.  Passes purchased after the renewal deadline will have to be purchased as a "New" pass.
