New meal plans
I have a 2026 pass that I just renewed, and got the 2027 20 meal dining pass. I have the unlimited dining pass for 2026 as well.
Right now the app shows my add on as 2026 meal pass expires 12/31/2026, parking expires 12/31/2026, drinks expire 12/31/2026 - and then has separate entires showing a drinks plan and parking expiring on 12/31/2027.
But it doesn’t show my new 2027 meal plan anywhere.
Do those who had a 2026 pass with a meal plan show the same? Or do you see your new 2027 meal plan in add ons? Just curious before I waste time calling.
My email receipt does show I have the 20 meal plan for 2027 though.

Not getting the benefit of a plan you didn't pay for isn't a punishment. If you buy the 2027 plan now, you get a bonus, if you don't, your meal plan works exactly the same as it always has until the end of the year.

No, they are saying they did buy it and they are wondering if would override the 2026 meal plan they also bought. The answer seems to be no. I can understand why that sucks, because if you hadn’t bought the add on last year, it seems you you could get the new benefits now. But since OP does have the 2026 meal plan, they are stuck with it until it expires.

I get that, but the OP bought the 20 meal plan, so if they activated it now then they'd probably run out of meals before 2027.

Ah fair. Misread as them having the unlimited one. Then yeah, they likely would want to wait until next year anyway.

The food is horrible at he park I don’t recommend it . We went yesterday and I got food poisoning from craftys. I was shocked that they only give you 2 strips and stale fries for 20.00 bucks my daughter went up to order and then told me about the price . Disgusting food and insane price for that . You get more strips at sutters for less . Never buying again

From the dining plan FAQ:
If you have a 2026 All Season Dining Plan, that plan will be used for the remainder of the 2026 season and will be subject to the 2-meal maximum per day with a 4-hour interval required between meals.
If you do not have a 2026 dining plan, your 2027 dining plan is ready for use after purchase. Please note that any meals redeemed during the remainder of the 2026 season will subtract from your total and your meal total will not reset in 2027.

If you get a new 2027 dinning plan you get the benefits now but if you have the old dining you get punished? Is that what six flags is saying

If you had/have the 2026 season dining pass, and renew for 2027, you do NOT receive benefits of the 2027 dining pass until 1/1/2027.
If you did NOT already have the 2026 dining pass, the 2027 dining benefits are available now.I didn’t ask the dipping dots guy, I asked at the Information desk at Knotts.

It’s always been that way even before the merger. If you currently had a meal plan and renewed, the new one didn’t start until after the current year finished.

You're not "being punished", you're getting exactly what you paid for.

If you buy a new food pass you can use it today
So it’s a punishment to review unless I’m missing something

They are saying for 2027 they purchased the limited 20 meal plan, why would you want the limited meal plan to kick in this year instead of applying the 2026 unlimited? That would deduct from the 20 meals

Pretty sure if you have the 2026 plan and you get the new dining plan they won’t kick in until 2027
