Frequently Asked Questions:


If the employee stays at Cedar Point Express Hotel, how will they get reimbursed from Sunrise for the company half of the room cost?
The employee is responsible for making their room reservation at the Cedar Point Express Hotel. After the stay, the receipt will be turned in on an expense report for reimbursement of Sunrise's portion of the hotel bill.
If an employee requests extra tickets for non-immediate family members, how will the tickets be paid for?
The total amount of the extra tickets will be calculated, shared with the employee, and we will advise which payroll it will be deducted from. If the employee prefers to pay for the tickets in advance of the payroll deduction, they can send a check made out to Sunrise Cooperative to the Fremont office, to the attention of Megan Cantrell. The check must be received prior to the payroll deduction date.
Is Soak City included with the Kings Island tickets?
Yes, admittance into Soak City is included in the Kings Island ticket. The tickets are only good for Friday, August 1st.
Will more information be provided?

Once we have all the tickets and are ready to distribute them, we will include the necessary information with the tickets.

What if I have a season pass to Cedar Point?

You can gain early admittance by letting them know that you are with the Sunrise Cooperative group. Be sure to request meal tickets for anyone in your party with a season pass..

If my family has season passes how will we get lunch vouchers for Cedar Point?
You will need to contact Megan Cantrell (megancantrell@sunriseco-op.com or EXT. 207) and let her know how many are in your immediate family so that lunch vouchers can be sent to you.
