This Saturday, May 21st, military members can ride park rides for free at Knoebels Amusement Resort.

As stated in a release by Knoebels.

Knoebels Amusement Resort invites past and present United States Military members to enjoy a free ride pass this Saturday, May 21. On this special day, park guests can visit with reps from military branches to learn about career and service opportunities. Thanks to Northumberland County’s Veterans Affairs department, this year’s event has grown to also include organizations that support veterans and guest speaker Brigadier General Maureen Weigl. Since 2016, Knoebels has invited past and present members of the U.S. Armed Forces to enjoy a free ride pass on Armed Forces Day. Though Armed Forces Day honors current military members, since Knoebels isn’t open on Veterans Day, we utilize this day to also honor our Veterans.

Several agencies and programs will be present near Pavilion L (near Impulse roller coaster) from 11 AM-4 PM to provide information and assistance.

There will be a 1 PM program at the Hawaiian Bandshell with guest speaker Brigadier General Maureen Weigl, Deputy Adjutant General for Pennsylvania’s Veterans Affairs Department.

Patriotic music will be performed by the Last Resort Quartet prior to and following the General’s speech.

To redeem the free ride pass on May 21, guests must visit Knoebels’ Ride Pass Building and present a valid Driver's License with Veterans Designation or a valid Driver's License and a Military ID (Active Military ID Card, Official Military Retirement Card, Official Military Separation Papers - DD214).

More information on the Armed Forces Day event is available on Knoebels' website.
