    Sweet Changes Coming to Sweet Spot in 2022

    From Chef Major:

    Last year we added our pastry chef, Belen Caire. She and her team have outgrown where they’re working so what better way than to take the Sweet Spot, move her operation there, and let our guests come in and watch the making of all of our desserts and the production. We’re going to be changing some of the things that go into the case. All of our desserts are going to be made from scratch. If you walk into the Sweet Spot at any given time, you’re going to see how the desserts are made, the person that’s actually making these wonderful desserts.

    I'd venture that you won't find them any cheaper than they are online right now.  You can buy 1 day pass and I believe its good for any day you want, don't have to commit to a day at the moment.

    Some things to consider:

    How old are your grandsons?  Are you taking either of their parents along with them, or is this just a trip with grandma/grandpa?  have they ever been to KI, or something similar, and if so, do you know what kind of things they are willing/able to ride?

    Reason i ask, and I'll assume you are retired or in a situation where you can attend any day of the week that serves your purpose.  If you are limited to weekends, then you may want to consider fast passes if a) they will want to ride everything (and are tall enough) and b) you are willing to ride everything with them.

    If you go mid week, fast passes won't be needed, but have to wait in a few lines (though typically not too bad).

    If they are both on the younger side and you will be mostly limited to Planet Snoopy, another thing to consider is if what hours you would like to attend.  Planet Snoopy tends to clear out late in the evening.  If you are able to keep them up and in the park thru fireworks that last hour in PS can be a magical time where it feels like you have the whole area to yourself.  Woodstock express has often been walkon, and even stay in your seat and reride late in the evening as the remaining families head home or find spots to watch the firework show.

    If you plan to go all day, food passes might be a good plan, depending on the age of the boys, they might be able to split a meal.  My 5 & 8 year old could last year, my 13 year old....not so much, he would eat 2 meals on his own :)

    If they are tall enough for coasters and its something you want to do with them but they are apprehensive, spend some time checking out POVs on youtube so they can get a feel for what the ride is like.

    Have fun, some of my most cherished memories are watching the reactions of my kids the first time they got on a new ride and was able to sit shotgun with them for the experience.  Way better watching the joy on their faces than the ride itself.

    nice tips, i would say most people on here though have season passes

    I wonder when pass holder preview will be. It could be on April 15th or could it be the weekend before opening day like it was this year.

    i would assume that friday! and they usually have a friends and family day as well. 

    Winterfest preparations have begun?

    Could KI be hinting at a possible Reversing of one side of Racer?

    Here is the link to the shirts and in the Facebook post KI mentions

    "Whoops! Our printer got this one "Backwards!"

    This version of the soft style Gildan tee will be available for a limited time only.  Free Shipping offer applies to this item only. "

     

    This seems like oddly specific use of word backwards and the fact its being sold as official merch makes me believe this is a subtle tease for a backwards racer side once again. I mean the GP absolutely loved when it went backwards and i still hear people talking about how much they miss it. Including enthusiasts.

     

    So what do you guys think about it?

    No way it goes backwards again. I guess since all the old rides are "official merch" too they are coming back? Not trying to be rude, trust me i would love it to come back. But i dont think it will sadly. :(
