OldieButGoodie Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 So, it's off season and as I reflect on the food options there were hits and definite misses... - The cheese-steaks - really good, priced about right, and made to order (both a blessing and a curse) - The pretzels - consensus seems to be that they were an improvement over the Super Pretzel and I concur, never had a bad one - The gluten-free pizza - quite good and made to order, and I don't remember it being so overpriced as the original LaRosa's pie - The freestyle machines - my sons love 'em, I hate paying extra, guess that's why we have choices! - Agree with above on the $5 drink wristbands. We probably did a tad better than breaking even, but we got into the habit of just buying them either way and never felt cheated. <--- that's the key, "never felt cheated" - The burritos at Hanks - tasty and fresh, but oh so dreadfully slooooooooooow. Fix that and you've got a real winner (think 'Chipotle', because everyone in line is...) - The Morelein beers - not bad, and certainly the 'trendy' thing. Nothing wrong with getting rid of BL Lime (lol) and it pays hommage to local brewing history, but there are other better beers for $8 a glass. Would still LOVE to see the 'Dad souvenir mug' ala Carowinds. Did not see negative impacts the week we were there, $5.99 was still pricey enough to discourage overconsumption. - Food carts during Haunt - great idea, but we never passed one that was open when we were hungry. Not a dig, just what happened. So, now I'm thinking, "If I were king (or Don Helbig) for a day, what would I love to see in the food experience at KI for 2013?"... Any thoughts?

medford Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 While I'm not particularly a huge fan of "fried stuff" its always felt like coney mall was missing a "fried stuff" booth. I'm think fried twinkies (or whatever the alternative is now), fried snickers, fried cheese, etc... similar to what you see at a lot of couny fairs. I may not buy much, if anything from that booth, but the smell would be great drifting thru coney mall and I think enhance the feel the theme is going for. I'm not particularly a fan of LaRosa's, but KI makes an even worse product than you get at a traditional LaRosa's. I'd love to see an upgrade in the product, even getting it up to snuff w/ the traditional larosa's would be a huge upgrade. On top of that, let the customer pay a few more bucks to get a "cooked to order" pizza w/ different toppings. Pehaps even an addition to the KI Moblie app to allow you to order your pie while in line for The Beast, then pick it up when your done. I'm sure logisitics in that regard could be tough, but if a place like flying pizza can get an order by the slice right, KI could certainly do something similar at a minimum. I never tried that grilled sausages, but that is up my ally. I'd add a few of those stands around the park. I had the burriot once last season. It was OK, but by no means comparable to Chipotle. It certainly could be upgraded, and the made to order concept should be as efficient at KI as it is at your traditional Chipotle. If they could get it right, I'd add another burrito place on the opposite side of the park. I'd add something "different" to the other side of the festhaus. We traditionally only go mid-week, and it typically feels like on the right half (where you get pizza, chicken fingers, etc...) of the restaurant line is in use. Pehaps the use both sides during the weekend; if not I'd look to add something unique (and good) on the other half. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Perhaps the service will be better this year... What about the quality and variety? Busch Gardens quality would justify the Cedar Fair prices... Terp...ever hopeful (you hired a chef to do what exactly?) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
