I am a local on the Gold Coast who is used to the annual passes of our local passes. I was looking into attending Aussie World but noticed they only have day passes and not annual passes, this does make a day out quite expensive as you can’t bring your own food in either.

I don’t think there are many theme parks in Australia that don’t offer annual passes and I know Aussie World used to do this. I am just interested in the thoughts behind not having an annual pass, surely increased visitation means better upsell profit, more of a buzzing vibe in the theme park and better PR, I just find it odd they are sticking to day passes. 
 

has anybody heard anything about Aussie World changing this policy in the future?

For Aussie world, it’s not financially viable for them to offer annual passes. They tried it a while back as you note but it cost them more to run than what it bought in.

Does the park do re-entry? Could you go to your car, eat food that you brought and then re-enter? That’s always a way to make the day cheaper 

Yea I actually asked Aussie World on my last visit about this and they just dont have the visit numbers to make it a viable option. As a sunny coast local I would love to see it happen.

Yep they do pass outs.
