This reminds me of the last time I went to SeaWorld Orlando. My mom got her, myself, and one of my siblings a 90 minute meal plan each and we were at the park for quite some hours.. We made so many stops to get food. It was genuinely ridiculous, all that food getting thrown away while I made it a point to eat all of it and thus “felt it in the morning”. I think we got meals with the meal plan like 6 times at least. My mom made it a point for us to stop at most of the major restaurants in the entire park. We could have just shared one meal plan. Oh well, I got to have a bunch of the foods I like most at least. So by Knott’s having a “no sharing” rule, some interesting consequences may happen on occassion like someone staying in park with their family for hours and just munching on a whole bunch of entrées with sides. I can see some people redeeming the meal plan and just giving the meal to someone else out of sight. Actually, thats definitely bound to happen. Especially amongst groups who visit a lot.

If they did that I would absolutely make sure to make it the most awkward situation ever. Straight eye contact, chewing slowly but aggressively, a few growls maybe. Assert dominance.

And to be fair, the GP usually doesn't even know the make/model of the rides they ride nor do they often care. They just want to have fun. Those of us with this hobby/special interest care about specs, make/model, etc because it is just that. A hobby/special interest.
