Hi Ozbargainers,

The family is taking a trip up to Gold Coast for 5 days, and will be looking forward to visiting some Theme Parks. There are 4 adults, 1 4 year old and 1 2 year old.

At the moment we are looking at taking up this offer, VIP Magic Pass

https://themeparks.com.au/box-office/vip-magic-pass.aspx

This pass will allow you unlimited Entry to three Theme Parks until June 2015.

The Theme Parks included in this deal is WB Movie World, Sea World and Wet n Wild.
They also have a deal where you buy 2 passes you get the third Free.

I wonder what else you guys can come up with…

Cheers
Bernsy

    Depends on where you live, for instance we are from Sydney, and probably will be likely visit GC once or twice per a year. It works out to be around $75 each after the discount. If you visit the theme parks more than twice per a year, then it's worth it.

      I am in Melbourne, and we are not sure if we will be going twice.

      Main attraction for us is Sea World, but tickets for Sea World alone is $89 per entry (ridiculous isn't it ?).RACV has a 10% off tickets promotion which makes it about $80 per entry.

      We thought we might as well grab the Magic Pass, its a bonus if we go back again.

    It's buy 3 get 4th free, not buy 2 get 3rd free. With an average cost for 4 tickets being $75 each, and cheaper than a single entry to Movie or Sea World, it's really a no brainer if you're going to at least one of those theme parks anyway. Buying a 5th full price VIP pass for the 4yo gives you an average cost of $80 per ticket, which is still cheaper than a single entry. You'd need to act soon though, the discount ends 31 July.

    recently bought some off an ozbargainer who claimed them through his flybuy points…

    Hope they are accepted at the gate :S:S:S:S

    hehe good luck JK..

      Serious note.. Do you think it would work?
      It's got his name and address on the letter
      However it says you can redeem the letter for 2 passes.
      Can the 2 passes be used for anyone?
      Before I purchased I asked repeatedly and he said they would work…
      Not so sure now

        seriously I hope it will work for your sake.

        However, it is quite scary in the sense that all my tickets I ordered are numbered and have a name attached to the ticket.
        If you are claiming the ticket, this could mean you have not bought the tickets yet. And this means you will key in a coupon number on check out ?

        • jaykay on 31/07/2014 - 10:50

          yes on the letter, it's got a barcode which I think they scan……………

        Are you talking about VIP passes (unlimited entry)? Last time I looked these are not available via FlyBuys redemption. The letter you have is probably for the 3 day pass.

        In any case, assuming the letter itself does not already contain or refer to some T&Cs that address your question, you're better off checking directly with the theme park/s as to whether or not the letter is transferable, as they are the ones who will ultimately issue the pass/authorise admission.

        • jaykay on 31/07/2014 - 10:49

          yes VIP passes, mine are valid for unlimited entry , 28 days each, there are 2 passes.

          I'm guessing it should be fine, as the person who sold me the ticks called the theme park to ask already.

          either way, if I have any troubles at the gate I'll just call him and he can speak to the staff directly.

          lets hope it works out
