  • 2024 Preseason Pass Processing

    We're leaping toward a summer full of slides and splashes! Don't waste time waiting to process your Season Pass on opening day; visit during one of our three Preseason Pass Processing dates, starting on April 13, to snap your Season Pass photo and pick up your 2024 souvenir cup. Process your Season Pass early and receive one coupon good for either a FREE order of Potato Patch Fries, soft pretzel, or Golden Nugget dip cone.*

    Processing FAQs

    Do I need to Process? New Passholders...

    Welcome to the club! As a new Passholder, you need to get your photo taken and pick up your physical Season Pass card. You can stop by any Preseason Pass Processing Day or public operating day once the park opens. We suggest taking advantage of our Preseason Pass Processing Days, as processing lines are shorter, and you'll receive a FREE coupon!* 

    New Platinum Passholders: you must process your Platinum Pass at Sandcastle before you can use your all of your perks at our sister parks (Kennywood, Idlewild and SoakZone, etc.).

    Do I need to Process? Renewals...

    Thanks for renewing! Your 2023 Season Pass card has been automatically updated with your 2024 information and is ready for opening day. However, you can stop by the park during any Preseason Pass Processing Day for your FREE coupon! 

    If I can get my Season Pass processed during my first visit, why do Preseason Pass Processing dates exist? 

    Preseason Pass Processing dates allow you to save more time for fun once the park opens for the season! By getting your Season Pass Processed early, you won't have to waste time on an actual park operating date. Lines can become lengthy at Guest Relations on park operating dates early in the season. You can also upgrade your Season Pass on any of these dates. Please note: the park does not operate on Preseason Pass Processing dates. 

     

    * Available while supplies last. One coupon per Passholder. Coupons are distributed randomly. Coupons are ONLY available during Preseason Pass Processing.

    Note: Season Passes purchased at Kennywood and Idlewild cannot be processed at Sandcastle.
