Nate859 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I renewed my Kings Island season pass, and it turns out I'm moving out of Ohio. I was wondering if there is anyway I can cancel my monthly payments? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Probably, but you will forfeit your 2015 pass. Call and find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The retail installment plan contract that I electronically signed when I renewed my pass for 2015 last fall contained an explicit clause stating that the installment plan cannot be canceled for any reason. Your installment plan contract (which I hope you saved a copy of) almost certainly says the same thing. You're essentially asking for a preemptive "refund" on the future payments, but it's no different than someone who paid in full up front: there are no refunds for buyer's remorse, or when you discover you can't use it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 You could upgrade to a platinum pass if you'll be near another Cedar Fair park or parks. It always pays to go talk to customer service, too. Often accomodations can be made for special circumstances, and it can't hurt to ask. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsus Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Season passes, once processed, are not refundable for any reason. Doubly so if you have used it so much as once. A voucher might have been refundable, but as you renewed online with a payment plan, that's out the window. When you purchased your season pass and agreed to a payment plan, you entered into a contractual agreement to pay $X/mo for Y months. That's a legally binding contract. To my understanding, there is no cancellation provision. If you find someone who feels sorry for you at the park, they may well take pity. That said, I wouldn't count on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Jonathan is right. Here are relevant excerpts from the current payment plan agreement, which you digitally signed when renewing online: By accepting below, I agree to pay the Down Payment listed below (first payment) and thereafter to pay the remaining number of payments, which will be billed pursuant to the schedule below to my credit card or PayPal account. I may prepay my outstanding balance at any time. I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT PERMITTED TO CANCEL MY PAYMENT PLAN UNTIL ALL SCHEDULED PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE. I UNDERSTAND THAT Cedar Fair HOLDS A SECURITY INTEREST IN MY SEASON PASS, AND THAT IF I FAIL TO PAY A SCHEDULED PAYMENT, THE ENTIRE REMAINING BALANCE WILL BE DUE AND PAYABLE IMMEDIATELY (acceleration not applicable to Virginia residents) AND MY SEASON PASS MAY BE CANCELLED. Payments will be made in accordance with my Credit Card Issuer Agreement or PayPal User Agreement. I understand that I am not permitted to contract for additional Payment Plan accounts if my balance under this contract is past due, and that any payments made by me to Cedar Fair may be used by Cedar Fair to settle past due balances under this contract before applying the payments to other sales transactions. In addition, regardless of the number of times a pass is used, there are no refunds of amounts paid on my Payment Plan account. If a payment is late, I may be charged a late fee of 5% of the payment due. Revocation and Suspension: My Season Pass provides me with revocable privileges which may be changed or cancelled by Cedar Fair at any time without notice. My Season Pass may be revoked for any reason, including but not limited to, if I or anyone for whom I have purchased a Season Pass under this agreement uses a Season Pass for commercial purposes, or engages in activity which Cedar Fair, in its sole discretion, deems improper, including without limitation, fighting or rowdy behavior at Cedar Fair properties. In the event of revocation, Cedar Fair will have the right to either continue to collect all amounts due under this agreement as set forth herein, including all amounts due with respect to a revoked Season Pass, or declare the entire balance under this agreement immediately due and payable. If I or anyone for whom I have purchased a Season Pass under this agreement is suspected of violating any provision of this agreement, any of the Season Pass terms and conditions, or any other rules, regulations, or policies of Cedar Fair or Cedar Fair properties, Cedar Fair may suspend the Season Pass held by such person or persons subject to an investigation of the alleged violation. Cedar Fair will continue to collect all scheduled payments due under this agreement, including the scheduled payment due for the Season Pass that has been suspended during any such time period of suspension. Upon conclusion of the investigation and depending upon the findings of such investigation, Cedar Fair may reinstate the suspended Season Pass or immediately revoke the Season Pass. In any event, Cedar Fair will continue to collect all amounts due under this agreement as set forth herein. Nevertheless, I recommend calling the park in case an exception is possible in your circumstance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I also know, because this happened to a friend, if you fail to make a payment on your season pass, it becomes void until you have paid up to what you currently owe, and you will not be able to purchase a pass on a payment plan the following year. This was a couple seasons ago, however, and this is purely anecdotal, so take it with a grain of salt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdf21972 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The answer is simply no. You cannot cancel your payment plan. As per your contract and sale, you agree that all sales are final. You may choose not to pay but don't expect to use this option next year. You will have to pay in full for a new pass for 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieseltech20 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Well, they said they are leaving Ohio. Based upon that info I do not believe they are too concerned with how to buy a pass for NEXT year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I have no idea if Cedar Fair reports delinquent installment contract payments to the credit bureaus. They certainly could... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 In the name of customer service, it's rather unlikely that Cedar Fair would report these transactions to credit bureaus (or sell the debt to collection agencies that would do the same). But, yes, they certainly could. Since payments are automatic, most delinquent accounts are probably that way by accident (eg. from an expired or replaced credit card). Personally, I would never use the payment plan, as I like to avoid opening unnecessary lines of credit that could turn into problems down the road. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acfinn Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I work in collegiate athletics and you are exactly right malem. Nearly every time someone who is on a payment plan for their season tickets has their card declined along the way it is due to the fact that they the card expired in the middle of the plan or the person had to report their card stolen. Sometimes we then have a hard time contacting them to correct the situation and they get cranky with us when their tickets don't arrive prior to the season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieseltech20 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I witnessed something similar to that at Busch Gardens. A fellas girlfriend told him she would continue to make his pass payments after they split up. She lied. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmony29 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I have a close friend that had platinum passes last year, she made the initial two payments and defaulted on the last two. Her passes were deactivated but she never recived collection calls. She purchased passes again this year and she did the payment plan no problem, same credit card even, the only difference being last year she bought them online at KI and this year online at Cedar Point. I dont agree with this but it does show you can get new passes, its not true that you cant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 You can also go 93 miles per hour on I-71. It's not true that you can't. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsus Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 And, for a more realistic scenario, because a modern, properly maintained vehicle with a driver paying attention to vehicle and road can relatively safely go 93 mph on a properly maintained freeway.. You can also speed through wall-to-wall traffic, tailgating and cutting in and out of traffic, cutting other drivers off, sometimes attempting to merge right into them. You can do all this without the police ever seeming to care, despite this being significantly more reckless than one properly maintained vehicle going 93 mph on a properly maintained road, by itself. It's not true that you can't. Indeed, it happens way too often. Slow down. Back off. Safe following distance. Don't you want to get there alive? Sometimes it feels like I'm the only driver on the road who does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I would never use the payment plan, as I like to avoid opening unnecessary lines of credit that could turn into problems down the road. A better reason for taking no action is the cost involved to chase down what amounts to $125 or so. A collection agency routinely gets 10-20% of every successful collection it makes and I"m certain Cedar Fair doesn't want to pay lawyers to attend small claims court chasing after people for such low amounts.

malem Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Even if a collection agency takes 90%, 10% of a delinquent account is higher than 0%. Collection calls aren't very good marketing for potential future customers. Especially when the nonpayment is by accident. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
