Thanks guys. I got the info off of the Spirit song festival site. If I lived closer to Cincy I would totally spend more time at KI. It's a blast.

Thank you all for the insight! It has been very helpful. I'm not too terribly concerned about the rain. I was more concerned about the crowds but it seems that it should be alright considering I will be spending most of my time at Nick Universe because of my young one. -Now for this Christian concert.... I like some Christian bands. MxPx,NormaJean,UnderOath,BlindSide,Zao,Haste The Day and The Chariot come to mind right off the top of my head. Any of these bands playing?

Hello All, Newb here. My name is Matty and I hail from Akron. I came across this forum searching for info regarding KI as I have some concerns regarding my family trip there over the holiday. Last year, My wife and I took our then 4 year old son to KI for a wonderful 2 day retreat. We went on a thursday and could'nt have asked for a better time. The weather was perfect. The lines were short and it was just an all-around great experience. Because of this, We decided to come back and do it again this season. My son will be tall enough this year to ride a few attractions that he was'nt able to last season and he talks about this nonstop! However,I have a few minor concerns about this years trip. We are leaving tommorrow(The 4th) and plan on attending on 7/5. Our reservations are already booked for this day at the Hotel. Our animals are already booked to be boarded these days and our schedule prevents us from altering these plans. First, I have a question about this SpiritSong thing. How big of an ordeal is this? Will it be extremely over crowded on Thursday? My family and I are not religous people. Although we do not mind people openly celebrating their religous beliefs, I hope this isn't going to be something that overtakes the entire theme of the day. I would rather not be preached to on my holiday with my family. Secondly, According to the latest weather reports there is a 50/50 chance of light periodic rain this day. I have read the policies on rain but I'm not sure how much they follow the guidelines. Will they typically continue running the coasters and rides if it is raining? If it rains all day are we out of luck or will they compensate the attendee's somehow? Anything the regulars to KI here could tell me about what I could possibly expect on this day would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to scrap the whole trip and start over just to have it be a pleasant day yet at the same time, I would also hate to invest in this weekend just for it to be a bust. I know that it's just a chance i'm going to have to take but i would feel better knowing that I am well equipped with knowledge given to me from you intelligent posters. -Thank you in advance
