Palace is now making Platinum passes good at all Palace parks.  I am wondering if we can upgrade the unused passes from 2020 to Platinum.   

I think it's a good question. Which version did you have because this is an upgrade of theire2020 base that allowed access to only the 2 other NE parks. Storyland and Santa's Village. I suspect since the pass is extended for the year you might have to wait and do it next year. but that's just a guess. if you have bought it last year before it was announced and then wanted the upgrade I think it might be easier. but I have found from conversations that the chain is very accommodating.

I think this is a great movie. it makes the pass more competitive with SFI's pass and there are a lot of park options in PA and the east coast. even if they can get a few dozen to travel and check out some of the NE parks or get extra attention to their PA parks it's a good movie.

Admission to LC is I think $42  a day So even if you only paned to hit LC a few times and 1 of the other NE parks you could get your money's worth out of it. If you're planning to go to PA then hands down it's a good movie.

I'm thinking of getting it just to hit the local parks. I have been to LC a few times in the last few years but it's been about 5 years since I've been to Storyland when I had a basic season pass for a few years and I have;t been to Water Country in close to 20 years.

So as of now the answer is that there are no upgrade options available from a 2020 to a 2021 season pass.  Park said since pass tiers and benefits have completely changed for 2021, they will not be upgrading 2020 Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Gold Deluxe Season Passes to any of the new 2021 Season Passes.  However, if anyone purchased a 2021 season pass on or after October 16, 2020 then your pass will qualify for the Dayback Guarantee https://www.lakecompounce.com/plan-a-visit/season-passes#dayback the park is now offering towards the 2022 season.

I did mention that since I agree. Also could be a good way to get people to try the platinum pass to see if they like it and go with it next year. Seems like a simple way to get some extra cash flow coming in. Otherwise why would you need a 2021 pass if you had a 2020.

I get the argument some money is better than no money. My guess is they anticipate restrictions and with the proposed extensions into 2022 due to lockdowns or delays they don't want to deal with it. I guess they could require an extension waiver since NH may be unlike while CT and PA aren't or PA might have more parks open while NH is restricted. that sort of thing.

Not sure when you were planning to go but don't they start selling the next year's passes around August? could ride out your extended pass for the spring-early summer and then buy the next year's pass. I believe they give you the rest of this year included.

I know exactly what you mean. I have been watching the Area shows planned for NE. Just found out they Cancleed Westfield and RI is expected to also be canceled. We went from 4 down to 2. granted these are much busier and only 1 weekend but I can't expect parks to have a  lot more confidence.
