Can the bring a friend ticket be purchased online? I see there is an option to do so but do you actually print a voucher to get in the park if you choose this option? Do I as a season pass holder have to meet my friend before they can enter? I will already be at the park and I am taking a friend but hoped to not have to meet suddenly since she isn't sure what time she is arriving.
Thanks!

I think the tickets have to be purchased at the park on the day of as the person has to be present with you to enter. Most parks require you to be with the person when they enter the park and/or purchase ticket. You can just exit the park when they arrive to meet them at the ticket booths. (Just be sure to get hand stamped on way out for re-entry).

There is actually an option to purchase the ticket online and your season pass # has to be entered, however I am unsure if it will require me to go to the ticket booth with my season pass prior to her entering.

You can buy them online, but for some reason they charge a $7.99 processing fee (trying to buy 3). Do they charge a processing fee at the park?

They charge a processing fee for anything that you purchase online (at least from what I've seen). I have always assumed that it is the fee (or part of the fee) that the third party charges them for the online payment processing service.

You definitely can purchase the ticket online . We did it a couple of weeks ago. You print out the ticket just like any other normal ticket and give it to the "friend" so they can scan it when they enter the park. You do have to link it to a season pass so I'm guessing that you're supposed to enter the park together but the people scanning the tickets and passes didn't seem to take note of that. If they did, they did a good job of hiding the requirement. We all entered together so we were good in any case.

Maybe the friend could call upon arrival and you could meet at the gate in case there is a problem. You have to meet somewhere, right?

Is there a limit on the number of days you can bring a friend?. I know the price varies depending on the date, but can you bring say 2 or 3 friends on two or three consective days in the same week.

Also if you purchase online can you show the tickets on your phone?

Does anyone know if the park still offers discounted tickets for admission after 4PM? I looked on the website but it's not listed anymore.
