We have platinum passes?

[2tink4u]

We bought my husband a Platinum Seaworld pass to get access to discount tickets to DC, the other 5 have Busch Gardens Williamsburg Platinum passes. It appears that their are some benefits to having these.
Could someone tell me about this? Looks like re ride and restaurant ressies? Is there more? Thanks for all your help.

Free Parking and discounts where ever you eat/shop/spend money are also added benefits of Platinum passes.

Access to all of the Busch/Sea World parks. Preferred parking at your "home" park, and things like free entry into Howl O Scream at BGT and if you're going in June you will have early access on Saturdays and Sundays of the new attraction Cheetah Hunt

Platinum benefits are specific to your home park, but many times if you can get the benefits even if not at your home park (remember plat passes vary in price according to home park).

Preferred parking at home park only - though we have always been given preferred at the other parks with the exception of SW San Diego on a very busy day.

Reride is good only at BG - Tampa (don't have this in Williamsburg). My kids have always been allowed to reride in Tampa even though it's not our home park (they know they can be told no). Everyone in group must have and show the Plat Pass.

Reserved Preferred seating at shows in SW Orlando - again all must show pass and is really only good for those with Orlando as home park, but we have never been denied.

Getting into the parks early for new attractions-everyone in group must have plat pass.

Coupons are mailed to Plat pass holders for additional discounts, but they are park specific.

re-ride is also available at Seaworld Orlando.

We went in September 2010 when crowd levels were low. Since the crowds were nonexistent, they allowed us to ride Journey to Atlantis 15 times in a row without getting off. But when the crowds came, we could only re-ride one time each time we boarded. We love the re-ride option. Re-ride is also available on the Kraken but I don't believe Manta allows re-ride but I could be wrong. I have only rode Manta once - love it - but not certain I could ride it back to back without getting off.

Platinum passes also get you free premium parking at Seaworld, Aquatica, Busch Gardens and Adventure Island (I think this is a great perk especially when the parks are full). We have visited all of these parks and always receive preminum parking.

Throughout the year Seaworld Orlando gives away gifts when you show your pass at a designated area. We have received a Christmas ornament and Manta notebook and pen. You can only receive these gifts if you happen to be in the parks when they are offered.

Plantinum passes receive dining discounts and last year you could ride the Sky Tower for free; but I think they have stopped the free rides but instead you receive a discount. You will also receive a 15 or 20% discount on merchandise in stores.

You also receive a 20% discount on tours. We are looking forward to the Penguin tour.

Free reserved seating is available at most shows; however it is limited. The real nice thing about the seating location is it is usually center stage and in the middle outside of the "soak" zones. During non-peak times when the crowds are low, you can usually arrive 10 minutes prior to the start of the show and still find reserved seating available. This is great especially if you have small children or grandchildren that get restless while waiting. Note: that at 5 minutes to show start they open any available reserved seating to anyone still looking for seats.

Hope you enjoy them - we do

Wow, so we just show up and show our passes and receive upgraded seating. Then we don't have to get off the ride and we can re ride? That is really great. I will give this a whirl. It sounds like our pass will pay for themselves....

Is there a way to find out if there is something offered in the park while we're there for free?

You mentioned early entry. Does that mean we get in a particular time early, all the parks or just some?

My husband has the Seaworld Orlando Platinum.

Each member of the party must have the plat pass for the reserved seating and reride. Typically they will not let you in reserved seating with your husband. I know that everytime we have gone to the reserved seating area they have made each of us show our pass.

My daughter was riding with my son - he had his pass and she didn't- she was not allowed to reride and had to get off the ride.

Early park openings everyone in our group had to have the plat pass.

We all have Platinum Passes from Bush Gardens Williamsburg. My husbands pass is an Orlando Seaworld pass.

Thanks so much again for all your help.

Yes there is a new program called Pass Advantage. When you arrive in Seaworld Orlando's park head over to Sweet Sailin Candy Shop and you will receive a sheet detailing all discounts and free offers being offered in the park that day. If you go multiple days, make sure to check each day cause they do change
