I think you need to buy a calendar. Read your post again.

That is copied straight from their website... That is my point. They have the wrong date. http://myfun.com.au/Locals-VIP-Pass.aspx?WT.mc_id=MFHomepage;Carousel;LocalsVIPPass;060112

Please, I implore you, go buy a calendar.

Both the park, and Wyncenuros are making errors.

So for the biggest year of fun buy your Locals VIP Pass now!

-A 30th of June 2012 Expiry is not a "year of fun".

So you can pay $79.95 and get 7 days entry to the parkz...

-At the same time a 30th of June expiry is not 7 days away from now, its 39 days. Edited May 22, 2012 by Gazza

[MaxxTheMonster]

Corrected my error. Considering bub is due June 25 and that is 34 days away don't see how I did that. But the fact still remains they are advertising it at that date... Who will pay $79.95 now when they have been hitting it up at $39.95 for the last few weeks with that date? Emailed them about it because I would hate for their sales to take a dive

Don't backpedal now!

[MaxxTheMonster]

backpedal: To retreat or withdraw from a position or attitude. Gazza quoted me and I admitted I made an error... How is that a backpedal? Others here edit stuff when they get pointed out there is an error. Want to comment on them?

[westical]

Well you've edited your post about two times since I said that, but it's still good value for money given that's what it costs an adult for entry for one day at one park.

Just received this reply... Thank you for your email enquiry. I am able to advise the current VIP Pass and Super Pass are valid up to and including the30^th June 2012, however new ticket promotions will be released within the comings weeks. I suggest to regularly check our website for up to date information. For further details, please visit www.myfun.com.au. Alternately, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to reply to this email. Kind regards So apparently they are indeed charging $79.95 for the next 38 days...

Yeah but what about the gold VIP there is nothing about it on myfun. It is great value I'm hoping it is coming back as I love the early entry on Saturdays and the entry to the night events

[MaxxTheMonster]

They didn't mention anything about the gold vip pass. I have queried this as we want to go to White Christmas this year. Will post their reply when I get one.

[Park Addict 93]

I posted in the offtopic thread a couple of days ago... Gold Renewal for $89.99 via the call centre at present. Gold includes Fright Night/White Christmas

Just Found On The Site https://myfun.com.au/myfun/box-office/combo-passes/vip-pass.aspx?WT.mc_id=MyFun;Homepage;VIPS-Wanted

[MaxxTheMonster]

So they are renewing the Gold VIP pass but still not advertising them anywhere for people who want to get them new.

[GoGoBoy]

3 parks for a whole year only $99.... crazy cheap madness!

[MaxxTheMonster]

So the reply.... Unfortunately, the Gold VIP passes can no longer be purchased, however if you are a current Gold VIP pass holder you are able to renew your pass by telephoning the Customer Connect team on 133 386. Regards But will they release them a little later like they did last year? They not releasing anything further at this point.

They were released last year at the same time as the normal VIP if I recall correctly. I would find it very odd if they do not offer Gold VIP's to new purchases. This entire launch is very odd with the new pass just showing up on the Box Office and no real promotion/PR release.

Got a call today offering the cheap VIP Gold renewal. Introduced as being from Movie World which I thought was odd but I guess not many would recognise myFun.

[westical]

Just had a look at the VIP benefits page and they no longer have separate offers for Gold members. The early Saturday ride offer is still available though. I'm starting to wonder whether the VIP Gold renewal actually includes the same benefits next year round given the renewal price was the same as the vanilla VIP passes...

[Park Addict 93]

I would assume it is an oversight that their are no VIP offer/pdfs listed for this month. That said I also think that currently it appears the only perk guaranteed for the new round of Gold Passes is FN/WC. The new Pass is being advertised with the http://www.themeparks.com.au/ url that redirects to http://myfun.com.au/vip-pass.aspx with the price and details of upcoming attractions.

Where is my incentive to renew, if they're going to take one of my Gold benefits away? If the park early opens to general VIP holders - thats going to eliminate the point in having one. Instead, they should offer the gold again and see how many people JUMP at the chance to upgrade from a standard. I spoke to numerous people in park who asked me why I was the only one on the ride for half an hour - i told them I had the gold pass - they wanted to know where to get it from. Sure - Gold pass holders weren't flooding the gates last year. Half of the 'gold' benefits weren't made public when they were available for sale - all we were told was that it had FN\WC... and some additional 'member specials' that normal VIPs didn't get. So let's take a look at the additional benefits that were given: Exclusive queue line Early Entry with exclusive access (let's face it - it's ERT) Instead of canning the pass's availability to people to want to upgrade, and only making it available to renewals: 1. offer it again - except this time - make ALL the benefits public. 2. keep the price the same, or even up it (knowing what i know now, i'd have paid closer to $200 than $100). 3.
