I mean, as starving college students my GF and I would get season passes to KI for the next year when they went on sale in November. They were half price, so two passes, plus VIP passes to skip the lines, plus gold member parking passes came to $75-$80. We literally had to go twice a year to have saved money. Mondays and Tuesdays seem to be the best days to go. We would drive up to KI on the first day of our weekend, sleep in the back of my SAAB and drive back home to Lexington on the second day after the park closed.

Admittedly even being a full ride scholarship student, and therefore “poor” by Transy standards, I realize that I had a good bit of privilege as a young adult.
