I should be good, I worked at Knoebels for years on the horrid parking staff and as the security mook in charge of collecting lost items from the rides and shops, so I know the park back and fourth, upside-down and around. I'll find you guys. :P

I'll get there around noon and grab some lunch then meet up with you all at 1 as planned.

Well it looks like I may not be able to join. my ride can't go, so in turn I can't. I'm gonna try and figure out how to get down there today, but if I can't find anyone ill make notice that I can't come. I was gonna bring some saturn multitaps and controllers, so if anyone else has them I would recommend bring them to make up for me not coming.

Where do you live? I can probably pick you up if you're somewhere along the way.

I plan on showing up around 1pm, give or take. Don't know my way around the park or anything but I should be able to locate the arcade area.

I don't live in any big known city, I live in Hunlock Creek, on the edge of it to be exact, near route 11. it's pretty unknown for the most part. i'll just send you my address through a pm, if you don't mind. it would probably make it easier.

Seems like it wouldn't be much of a detour off of Interstate 81 if there's any folks coming from New York.

Yeah, that's what I planned on doing. Should barely add any time at all.

For you and anybody else unfamiliar with Knoebels:

When you enter the park you'll have the rental center and the giant ferris wheel to your left. You're going to want to take a right to head deeper into the park. You'll go past the Galleon (pirate ship) and the Italian Trapeze (big spinny thing with swings dangling from it) from there you'll make a slight left.

Here you'll probably find some bathrooms, the old-fashioned bumper cars, and the band-shell amphitheater. From this area you should be able to spot Playland arcade and directly behind it is the XD Theater where the old arcade is located. We're apparently meeting between those two buildings. Hope this helps. :)
