New food offer at the Point!

Oh boy! Any entrepreneurs out there? This is gonna be like the Disney season pass holders who used the front of the line Handicapped passes to work the system there. Just imagine the ad in the Sandusky Register...."...As a long time platinum pass holder and one who is intimately familiar with the parks' policies and layout, I will be your personal food concerge, bringing your hungry party a meal of your choosing every hour and a half, all day, long for the low one day price of $$$.

Yes. I own a business.

I guess..but the park is advertising it as 30 dollars per person, not 30 dollars for your family of four, or three of your best friends.

No, they're advertising it as $30 for a meal every 90 minutes.

I mean poor analogy at best but I think it gets the point across: You don't buy a platinum pass, and pass it through the fence to your buddy in line to get him in. Same kinda thing to an extent.

No, because with the wristband, you're not using the wristband twice in the same 90 minutes to "steal" access to anything. There's nothing immoral about using this to feed 4 or 40 people, if the amount of food works for that group.

I think it's a pretty safe bet the park considered this "abuse" when they came up with the price and conditions.

Honestly, it seems like a great deal for a family of four. Mom and Dad each buy a wristband, and every 90 minutes two people can split a meal and a side. The family spends $60 to eat all day, and the park might convince a few people to eat in the park who may otherwise have trekked out to the car to eat sandwiches or whatever.

As long as you follow the rules, and apparently those rules are nothing more than "1 meal every 90 minutes," go for it. Feed your family, feed your friends, offer it up to strangers. If/when CP finds people abusing it, they'll add measures to prevent it. Really, the most possible meals you could get in a single day is 9, and with the possible exception of Pinks, most of the meals are low-grade food anyway.

I applaud them actually, as in simply put something in with relatively low restrictions, see how it goes, then tweak if necessary.

That said, I don't see this as being for me, because if I got this, the mere fact that I can only use it at certain places pretty much guarantees that I'll suddenly REALLY want anything but what they tell me I can have.

I don't see a difference in sharing the meals or sharing a souvenir cup with a family. We share our combo meals anyhow- Family of four and share 2 combo meals. Chicken tenders and fries are easy to split. Getting a meal every 90 min would take a lot of time- lines, ordering, and waiting for the food to be ready would really waste the day.

You can find the specific meal plans for the Single Meal Deal and All Day Dining Plan here:

Of note, Chick-fil-A, Panda Express, Subway, Cinnabon, Starbucks, Chickie’s and Pete’s, etc. are not included in these meal plans. Didn't expect them to be, but I know people will still ask.

I'd love to see some additional details on the All Season Dining Plan for Passholders, but it sounds like they're still finalizing that plan. There are some details posted here:

OKAY....so what about the all season meal plan? That one says you can only get LUNCH and DINNER on that plan, which is 72.00 for the season. I think if one is going to buy the all season meal plan, you should be able to eat a meal with the 90 minute thing, what do you all think?

I think if you need to eat every 90 minutes, you need to lose some weight.

Think about it, every 90 minutes every day for the price or two days all-day plans?

^ I agree with Scottyf. Especially eating every 90 minutes at places like Corral, Pink's, Dragons Inn...etc.

"Only" lunch and dinner, every day, for the entire 140-day season, for a total of $72 is an absolute steal for anyone that visits the park frequently. You could easily get your money's worth in about 6 or 7 visits.

OKAY...so I worded it wrong..I didn't mean i would ACTUALLY eat EVERY 90 minutes...but what If i wanted to grab an order of fries sometime between lunch and dinner or another deal or I had a friend with me that could benefit from the fry deal they had from last year...that's all i'm saying.

You can pay for the extras..Two meals for everyday you wish to go in the park for 72 bucks, take it, that's a steal. I have spent more than that in the park on just a weekend on point.

I think it's a great deal... if that's the food you usually eat at the park. It's not the food I usually eat and I'm fine with that. I have no delusion that the park owes me anything. It's a business. If something works for you, take advantage of it. If not, then don't. If the park food is too expensive, then bring a cooler or eat off property. I'll be at Dave's if you want to grab a drink and talk about it more. :-)

Great thinking ! Most 'meals' are even large enough to share! $30 for 8 potential meals on a normal 12 hour operating day is good, anywhere! And as far as drinks-free water whenever you ask for it!

If it doesn't involve Famous Dave's, count me out! :)

We picked up our season pass meal deal today so I'm looking forward to putting it to use tomorrow.

Steve, what was the pricing structure? The website says as low as $72 but it doesnt give the starting point.

Per KI (likely the same):

$84+tax for 1-3 purchasers
$72+tax for 4+ purchasers

We bought 2 and paid $144 so $72 each.
