Dane Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 What do you think about the food prices at PKI? I personnally think its an outrage. Whenever I spend an entire day at PKI I leave for food. For example: FeatFest October 26th, I ate a "big" breakfest at home. And then I left to PKI. At 7:30 I leave, why? To go to Wendys. And then go back to PKI at 8:00 for FearFest.

Beastfreak Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Yeah they are sorta outragous but its an amusement park. They know people can leave and go down the street for Wendy's or what not. They also know that most people won't want to leave since they would most likely have to park really far away. Also if there are big groups that seperate they won't all get back together to leave agree on a place to eat and then go and come back, just to difficult and time consuming. Its pretty smart because the majority of the people are going to either see something they want when they are hungry and go for it, or kids will annoy their parents until they buy it for them. So why shouldn't the park charge higher for it, the people are hungry and thirsty after standing in line for a long time and want something quick, so there will be a "amusement park tax". However, I do the same and just don't eat that much at the park. I eat before and after and get a small snack or something during the day to tide me over. I'm a poor college kid, I'm not going to pay those prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt3224 Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 It is expensive but what do you expect. Just like any other business, they want to make money... It's not as bad as going to a reds game though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666 Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Sporting events have higher food prices still. At a football game I went to it cost me a little over $11.00 for Nachos & Coke. Thats crazy, and their ticket prices are even higher. The cheapest parking was $10.00 and it was about a mile from the stadium, so I still can't say amusement parks have high prices.

adam12 Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 They should have discounted prices on ALL items for seasonpass holders. That could be one more perk for having a season pass. If they mark up an Item 10% then they should reduce it something like 5% for season pass holders. That way they really are not loosing money because they will sell more items and it will make the guests happier. -adam12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I honestly do not this PKI's food prices are nearly as bad compaired to any Six Flags park. I mean, $8 for a freaking slice of pizza!?! Give me a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I would say PKI's prices are a little high but aren;t outrageous. I would guess that on most food, PKI is easily making 100% profit, probably more. They could stand to cut prices a bit, making the consumer happier and still be able to make a ton of money.

matt3224 Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 At least it isn't as bad as Six Flags like Aaron said, the bigger the park, the higher the prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam12 Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Where is this Six Flags that is charging $8.00 per slice of pizza? And is it true that Six Flags is bigger than PKI? -adam12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Depends on the park. I would say that SFKK is much smaller than PKI, and their coasters are really really short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
