Yes, that's right, Valleyfair! is having what they call the Dining Plan. It's simple really, but is this the new thing, or did they have it all of 2011? Well, anyway what happens is that people pay a little more for their admission, and they get 1 meal per day, and 1 snack per day. They don't pay a ton more really - They pay $5 more. Now, does this mean that season pass holders aren't able to get this? I don't know. It seems kind of unfair to me. Maybe, if they buy a platinum pass, they should get this.

They also are offering Character Breakfast. And nope, that doesn't sound familiar at Disney either...

That's $10 per person. The Character Breakfast has been going on since June. Maybe both programs started this year, but I haven't heard about it. This stuff might expand to the other parks.
Probably the reason why this is starting is because you have a former Disney guy working for Cedar Fair now.

"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
I could see that extra $5 raking in a surprising amount of dough, and even if it doesn't straight up and it's just a loss leader it's still like instant guest satisfaction and leaves more money in their wallets to spend during the day on high profit margin soft drinks, souvenirs and games. In the end it's a really good program.
I'm sure something will be worked out for Season Pass holders, probably along the lines of a significant discount at one or more food stands for designated meal deals. Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
I Don't get why they don't just do the "Backyard BBQ" that alot of Cedar Fair Parks Do.
Oh Well. 943 Coasters around the World! Countdown to 1000!

$5 bucks is not a bad deal at all. Even if the food there is god awful.
Valleyfair does have this. Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.
Coaster Count: 167 (41 Wood, 125 Steel) @Coaster_Cole on Twitter
I think its smart. $5 for a meal (probably not an expensive one) will cover cost, but more importantly it will get more people to eat in the park overall. It's the McDonalds effect, decrease price in order to up the volume of orders.
Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro
Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2 Coaster Count: 444
$5 for a meal + snack at a theme park, why not get it? That's about the same price at any fast food place for a value meal if you leave the park for lunch, not bad at all. About the same price as a soda at Cedar Point.
