Hi Chip,
we used Starline to get to KBF last time we were there (2004) and used a voucher for our admission which we paid when we got to the park.
Starline picked us up at our hotel and dropped us at KBF around 9.30am and then we had a choice of times to come home, either 6pm or 8pm.We didn't have to decide there and then so as the day went on (it was our hottest day there i think) we took our time going round and doing the rides (we love Ghostrider, Silver Bullet was being constructed)we went for the 8pm bus back and we had a huge coach to ourselves and another 2 people as everyone else had gone for the earlier one.
On our first visit we queued for an hour for the chicken dinner and to be honest, though it was very nice, we didn't think it was worth losing that time for.
When we visit this year, it's the Boysenberry jam we will queue for!!!!!
Love Ella
