Huge Weekend Begins 2010 Season at Oceans of Fun

KANSAS CITY, Mo. − Oceans of Fun opens this weekend! Celebrate the return of Kansas City’s biggest and wettest waterpark with a variety of activities and special offers to kick off the park’s 29th season.

The opening weekend begins as the sun sets on Friday, May 21, with the park’s first ever Opening Day Campout. The Oceans of Fun front gate area will be home to tents, sleeping bags, blankets, and fans ready to countdown the hours until the park opens for 2010. Oceans of Fun staff members will be on hand to provide the fun with prize drawings, snacks, and contests. The all-nighters will be rewarded by the park with huge perks including $9.99 admission for Opening Day, a private ride session on the towering Hurricane Falls on Saturday morning, entertainment from Mix 93.3’s Steve Serrano, free food, and videogame prizes and demonstrations from GameStop.

For those that prefer a good night’s sleep, prepare for the 2010 season now by purchasing a season pass for fun all summer long. The popular Gold Pass, priced less than the season pass of competitors and swim centers, not only includes a full season at Oceans of Fun, but a full season at neighboring Worlds of Fun. In addition, free tubes, free parking, early entry, discounts, and more are also included. Through June 6, 2010, Gold Passes are on sale for $99 each when purchasing four or more, or just $109 individually. Also available is an Oceans of Fun only Season Pass for just $69, a Platinum Pass for all of Cedar Fair’s parks, and meal add-on options.

Improvements in 2010 include new food offerings, as the popular Subway restaurant brings fresh subs to Oceans of Fun. The new Captain Cook’s ICEE Oasis allows guests to create a variety of frozen treats, including new fresh frozen lemonade. Unlimited cotton candy and popcorn buckets, colossal dogs, foot long corn dogs, and candy apples are also new at Oceans of Fun. Cabana upgrades are also planned for 2010.

Oceans of Fun opens for the 2010 season on Saturday, May 22, and the park is open daily through mid August. For a complete calendar and list of events, please visit worldsoffun.com.
