I'm hoping to show up after work, hope it doesn't get too crowded!

Great post! The Voban one is great, because it would seem completely innocuous to anyone who doesn't know what the product is called.

You're always going to see an interesting mix of people at any midwestern amusement park. I doubt it's on much of an uptick, or the '2017' culture. I think you're just getting older and it sticks out more to you!

I would think KI would LOVE for you to enter the park with the plan of just using your meal plan to get dinner. It costs them, what, a few bucks a meal? The whole goal is to get you in the park to get you to buy something else, and that is a really cheap conversion.

I plan on going anyway. I don't have a lot of opportunities, so I take them where I can. Plus it will be cloudy, may keep some people away.

Any idea what beers they serve? Any locals, or all In-Bev now?

Sorry, if you used your pass to get in to the park, how would you be marked as not 'scanned in' to the park?

I really hope the engineers who designed and built the new bridge are the same ones who did the old one, cause that thing is solid!

Yea I'm pretty bummed about it. I went last Friday, but couldn't get my pass or use the meal plan due to the power outage. Was hoping to do so today. We'll see if I can drag my wife tomorrow.

Thanks for the welcome Ding Dong, and the quick response! Good to hear it is good through the year. I am going tonight for the first time in 5 years, and the first time with a season pass in 10. I think I will get the yearly meal deal, even though the last few pages have had some unhappy comments about the service.

I have a couple of questions about the meal deal that maybe you all can help with: 1. Where in the park can I buy it? Guest services, or at the individual food stands? I don't want to buy it online because I am already cheesed enough about paying the $6 service charge when I got the season passes. 2. How long is it good for? One the website, it says 'Valid for Winterfest,' but doesn't say anything about the Halloween season. I assume by 'all season' it means for summer, fall and winter?
