Let me mention a couple of things, first, while this is an event designed for people who belong to coaster clubs, Lance Hart at Screamscape.com has offered a "free" ID card that Knott's accepts, and I presume that Lance will once again be able to offer it again (with Knott's permission, of course).
And if you buy the Knott's AP before the event at the special rate with the Carl's Jr. Coupon, this bring the net cost to the AP to just $49!
One of the big highlights of 2003 for me was this AWESOME event... and I highly recommend you make a weekend out of it, and take advantage of this great hotel package; which comes with more park goodies - exclusive to those staying at the Radisson Resort Knott's Berry Farm hotel.
Stay at the Radisson Resort Knott's Berry Farm$179 Special "Coaster Enthusiasts" Two-Night Stay (March 5 & 6)
Coaster Enthusiasts Package Includes: Two nights stay in a standard room, Two tickets to Friday night reception* (3/05/04) and Breakfast for two on Sunday morning. This package does not include Winter Coaster Solace Event Tickets.
*Reception includes dinner, raffle, guest speaker, 2004 Commemorative VIP Thrill Seeker ID card, and E.R.T. on GhostRider!
For reservations, please call Knott's Berry Farm Radisson Resort at (714) 995-1111 and mention "Coaster Enthusiasts" or visit us on-line at www.Radisson.com/buenaparkca. Subject to availability and based on double occupancy. Price does not include tax. Offer valid March 5 & 6, 2004 only.
Ok, the Hotel package is about $200 with tax (total, NOT per person), and let's say you have an AP (Saturday tickets - $23 x 2)... so the total package is about $250, or $125 per person...
What do you get...
Two Nights in a nice hotel...
Two days at the park, Friday night and Saturday from about 6 AM to Midnight, about 6 hours of exclusive time (no general public).
Three meals, Friday Dinner, Saturday Lunch and Sunday Breakfast.
A T-Shirt.
Other miscellaneous souvenirs (The VIP card (has no "value" just a souvenir), last year, the hotel guests got a nice set of Knott's Jams, plus some other minor stuff)
So, what is this package worth???
Let's go low...
T-Shirt (and other souvenirs) $10
3 meals $25
2 days at the park (no value, since you have an AP)
E.R.T. on rides (the ultimate FastPass) no dollar value, but a great benefit
Hotel room $45 per night
And getting inside the park at 6 AM, the hotel room is awesome, also with the midnight closing (based on last year), great to be able to walk to the room and crash....
How much do you think Disney would charge for this weekend???, heck they charged $50 to just see a movie on property (cheap version).....
Once again, I HIGHLY recommend this weekend, Knott's outdid themselves last year, and this year should be no exception.
We had a great Saturday night dinner for the internet folks at the Amber Waves restaurant/bar at the Radisson, and a great time was had by all... I presume we will do it again this year.... come join us and have a great weekend at a great price!
What is Carl's deal? I usually buy my AP's around the holidays because they sell them at the kids price, but this sounds better! Those AP's got us in to Cedar Point twice and Dorney Park once. A true bargain!
