Thanks for the responses. We have GE days next weekend.

Could anyone tell me if the meal plans work on the days the park is sold out to private events? We will be going in a couple of weekends with my work and just curiouse if our food plans will work. I am assuming not but I have no idea. I have searched here but was unsuccessful. Thanks!

Very excited - Just a few days away!! Due to work schedule we will be arriving at the park on Friday Evening. Any suggestions or tips on getting our season pass badges AND get our coaster Stock passes? I am sure that check in will be busy at that time! Thanks!

Great that it will be part of the plan. Looks like an air conditioned sit down venue. I am glad more options for meal plan are opening up!!

The nineties is my second favorite decade for music...after the eighties. My wife will love this show!

Thanks!!

Also, if we check in Friday, do we need to be there super early for check in on Saturday, or can we be more flexible with time?

Any update on lineup? We did not watch many shows last year, only visited the park a couple of times. What were the offerings last year?

Thanks Stoan, sounds like patience and being flexibility is the key! We are looking forward to using the meal plan, getting excited for the year ahead!

Thanks! We have our vouchers on the fridge!, but you never know!

OK, we just signed up and registered for Coaster Stock! This will be our first and I am super stoked to be going. We joined ACE last week and verified our schedule. My wife has to work on the 19th, so we might not be registering until that evening. We live about 1 1/2 away, but I was considering driving separate and my son and I can come earlier, but I will probably just wait till that evening. Thanks for all the great info on this thread everyone! You helped make the purchase/registration process a lot easier.

Thanks for the positive look at the meal plan! I was starting to get discouraged from all the posts. You sound like me, I have a spreadsheet for EVERYTHING to track expenses, camping reservations and such. So how does everyone handle drinks with the meal plan? If I do get the souvenir bottles for my family, how do we tote them around and such, and what considerations for when we ride rides, ie. where to Stowe.

I wish I had read more here before I purchased our meal plan lol. Not only do we have long lines and usually terrible service, but also looking at the food options on the plan it seams REALLY limited, and hardly any healthy options. I think Parking lot picnic is the way to go!

Wow! 1 to 2 hour wait times for food!! Thanks for the info, we will definitely adjust our eating times if that means a lesser wait.

Every visit is exciting for me. When I was a kid, it was the rides and time with friends. As an adult enjoying time riding with my wife, brother and mom and dad. Now I am sharing the excitement with my son, it is awesome! We live about 1 1/2 hours away, so we only come a couple times a year when we do not have season passes, so we always try to squeeze as much in to each day as possible. But now that we have been season pass holders, I am trying to relax more. And the blue ice cream!

I really miss these cars!! My son and I would have a blast on these today!

My son turns 10 this year and the most exciting coaster at KI to date is probably The Beast. We might have to work our way up this year to some of the bigger rides. Definitely a discussion I will have with him as it gets closer to April.

Great page! I have started following. Thanks!!

Great Video! Brings back memories from way back. My first Visit was when I was 5 years old in 1978. Also, is there a Podcast that features Kings Island or Cedar Fair?

So we got the dining plan for the upcoming season. Do you all have any tips or tricks for using the meal plan? Like is there certain times to eat when wait times are at their lowest and such?

Used to be one of my favorite rides as a kid!!

Just renewed ours, has anyone bought the food add-ons? I went ahead and bought the food plan, giving it a try this year.

We were in line just before 11:30, did not get in until the 2:30 show. Every show was filled up, a pretty good turnout.

This is good stuff! I am looking forward to going to Knoebel's Grove after reading this. Is that where the antique cars from KI went?

My wife and son watched the 2:30 show. We waited in line from 11:30 until then, the staff at first were discussing arm bands but finally said they were not doing arm bands (and we were right next to the door). But apparently they handed out arm bands somewhere and it was disheartening standing in line for 3 hours watching folks walk right up and go in. Many people in line were getting a little worried/angry because they had told us no arm bands, and here were folks with arm bands. No bigie though, we expected a wait, first come first serve. All in all it was a great show. Greg still has his dance down!! Peter was funny and Cindy was down to earth. And they shared some really interesting stories.
