    Thanks for all the pictures by any chance did you get to checkout the Sweet Spot? If so how did everything look is it mostly new desserts for haunt with a few classics returning or is it the same menu?

    My only interest is dining plan items… so I didn’t look at sweet spot offerings.

    Does the All Park Passport cover parking at your non-home park?

    I was able to park at KD with a Canada’s Wonderland gold all perk pass this weekend. No issue. 
     
    I even was able to get my physical (gold) card issued at KD since my previous card was platinum.  
     
    However when trying to put the new card into Carowinds app, it won’t work.   It worked on the Canada’s Wonderland, KD, KI and CP apps.    
     
    When I went to Carowinds at new years their gate and restaurant would not recognize my season pass but it worked at guest relations.   It doesn’t seem that they have fixed their linking issue with other parks. 

    Did you try removing the Carowinds app and reinstalling it? I had issues with my 2024 pass until I did that.

    Used our drink passes at Tower drinks today as virtually no line.  It was interesting that a group of kids in front of us asked for “water cups”.  The associate said water cups were not available at this location and to check with any of the eating places.  Could KI finally have solved the kids hack of asking for a water cup at the drink refill stations and then proceeding to fill it with soda?  Just thought it was interesting and will see if that policy holds all season or Tower drinks has just not yet stocked their water cups.

    All of the locations that don’t have an option for getting water only from the machine don’t have water cups.

    It is sad when they mention the nachos and smoked wings for the Brewhouse in the chef’s write up and then don’t even have them listed on the released menu link.  Also noticed the menu link does not identify which menu items are actually on the meal plan (only identifies snack items on the premium dining plan).  Will wait to see how many “up charges” occur with the various menu items later tonight.
     

    Nachos and wings aren’t on Dining plan, but are on menu. d1940db47f5530bab1e49590a7e8ae25.jpg

    ^Let us know how it is. I almost went for it but decided to hold back for what I know is good.

    Also got the new beef at G&G. I liked it.
    They also have a new pork kabob option and sides like mac and cheese.

    Still not on level with kings dominion G&G… but a step in the right direction.

    I went ahead and highlighted in yellow the special meal options on the Winterfest menu provided. Feel free to correct any mistakes or if anything should be added:

    Smoked Turkey at smokehouse and the shaved beef at grain and grill (#5) look new to me as well.

    Overall, for the few times I attend winterfest, this menu looks like some decent new options.

    I was at Carowinds two weeks ago and the food there was borderline inedible. Canada's Wonderland was even worse (although I was there a week before Lazy Bear Lodge opened). 
    I agree that I have not been overly impressed with the Kings Island culinary scene this year. I'll take it over the food at Carowinds and Canada's Wonderland, but Cedar Point and especially Kings Dominion are so far ahead it's not even close.

    Carowinds new Leonardo’s Italian location was great. And their burrito bowl place with the offering of fried chip bowls and included fresh guacamole was better than Enrique’s.

    Canadas wonderland: back lot cafe made to order pizzas were great, and the lazy bear lodge is simply amazing.

    Ate at G&G again yesterday. First time since it opened. It was good, but very uninspiring. Maybe I was spoiled by KD’s G&G and CP’s Grand Pavilion. Both of which gave you that, “I can’t believe I’m eating this in a theme park!” feeling. G&G just doesn’t and I can’t put my finger on why. 
     
    I also feel like the monthly specials are kind of lacking. Last month’s special at Enrique’s was just the chicken but in a different sized wrap. Like, why? The burger at the Brewhouse was okay, but why put the pork rinds on it just for people to pick them off? It was a pub burger with avocado. 
     
    Myself and others have also noticed some stuff that just wouldn’t have happened in years past. Three people at our table got clucks & barrels one time and both the chicken and the tater tots had a gross burnt taste to them. It was as if they hadn’t changed the oil but should have. I’m sure they would have replaced them if we asked, but my point is that I feel like this would have been pretty isolated in the past five years, but is becoming more common now. 
     
    The food is still better than it was before they started emphasizing the food. I just feel like things took a big step back this year. What gives? It’s all the same people, who ran a decently tight ship last year. All except the new Executive Chef, but can he personally be held responsible for all of this?
    Regardless, if any of you food people are out there reading this - thank you. You have a tough job that I wouldn’t want to do. None of this is directed at one person. You all work very hard!

    Fully agree. Kings Island was the leader of Cedar Fair food. It’s still better than it started… but the other parks are quickly exceeding the food quality. (KD, caro, CW… even CP pavilion on select days)
