I've been there at least a dozen times this season. Sometimes I've gotten cold fries... But the chicken has always been great. As you can probably tell by that number, it's my favorite option this year. And the salad with chicken on top it's great too... And the buttery Texas toast is amazing. #5pieceTexasToastMeal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fairly low crowds for a Saturday. The rain is coming, but it's not here yet! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They used to be with the cheese steak stand... Which is apparently now a hot dog stand... Which in the 20 visits I've had to Kings Island this season, I've not seen open (although I rarely go when it's at peak crowds) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been trying to make it to empanadas aqui truck... Might have to go this weekend to find them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The physical stand was replaced by a come refill station, but the hot dogs and sausages are now at the stand by the upper wave pool (which previously had hamburgers). Hamburgers are now only at the main Soak City grill. Total Soak City food options is unchanged, plus a drink refill station has been added.

There is a hot dog and sausage stand in Soak City (by tidal wave bay). The sausage with grilled onions and peppers is pretty good. It is a shame that the cheese steak is gone... Although it's not like that stand had been open much (ever??) This season anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Food service has been way faster this week. Staffing is higher and midweek crowds have been lower (less buses). While I still greatly mourn the removal of the Montgomery bbq sauce from chicken shack... And despise all the Heinz options... They have added a new "house sauce" which is like a Chipotle ranch that is better than the Heinz options. (It's only available behind the counter though)... Don't despair, some things are getting better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Invertigo? More like inverti-stuck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed! I've asked guest services that multiple times. I've never heard back from anyone in leadership despite multiple requests to have someone contact me to confirm the suggestions are being read. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are plenty of reviews in the app store. Just because someone didn't record it to video doesn't mean they aren't providing a valuable review. The app doesn't list specific menus, but lists locations and provides basic info (do they have at least 1 dining plan option, or at least 1 gluten free option). All of the food features in the app work the same whether you are in the park or at home... So you can download the app yourself and see. Food service has enough to do without updating wait times.. So I don't think that would be an effective add to the app. I have suggested to guest services multiple times that the app really needs to have daily restaurant operating hours (or indicate if a location is closed or not open yet like the rides do when they are down)... Since that suggestion they now at least put a sign on the restaurant window if they are closed to indicate if they will open or not that day... Which is good, but annoying when you walk there just to find that out. I also think most locations need to do a better job at clearly indicating which options are on the meal plan to guests that are waiting in line so that they can be ready to order when they get to the front. As for allergies, multiple people in my family have celiac disease. I think it's pretty amazing that Kings Island actually has a dedicated gluten free stand (coney mall potato works) and offers a gluten free pizza option. I've asked many times about which items contain gluten (like in the burrito bowl at hanks) and I think the park is apprehensive to say some items are gluten free of they know they are coming in contact with gluten through shared kitchens and utensils. While this limits the options for my family, I can respect the fact that they don't want people with allergies to get sick... Which is likely what would happen if they published a complete allergy list menu for all food items. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you really noticed that recently? The last few weeks when I have been on boo blasters I was impressed that it's actually it's own FUNtv content... It has songs like thriller and is all "dark" content. I don't go much during haunt, but I assume it's recycled content that is used for that. Regardless, I thought it fit the theme... So I'm curious if your comment is based on old data or if I've just gotten lucky when I've rode this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure what that means. They had four webcams at the start of last season... But then 2 of them (Planet Snoopy & Soak City) disappeared from the website. I thought all 4 were live when they had them... But maybe not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The new slide complex has green/red lights to indicate when new sliders can go... I'm not exactly sure how they work. From what I saw the bulk of the delays are from people just moving slowly and trying to figure out how to back into their launch tubes. Once loaded, they generally launch quickly.

Bat walk on, Banshee 15, Vortex 15, backlot 15... Everything else long (as expected). WWC looks like an hour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This question again... Does anyone know?

Also, if the booth is staffed... The booth operator can use their scanner gun and it effectively scans the QR code from the app. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The QR code from the official app (or from moving the pass into passbook on iOS won't work). You can take a picture of your pass and add it to something like key ring and that picture will work. Alternatively, when you pull up to a lane you can tap the screen and manually enter your pass number (which is displayed in the app) then hit submit and the gate will open.

Yes it's open. Rode it today and got blasted by thrill biscuit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The service was great today. Looks like they anticipated huge memorial day Saturday crowds... Which didn't really happen... Every food place had both sides running (even chicken shack) and I didn't see ANY waits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My son convinced me to just come. We watched origins in a half full theater and got pizza in a no line river town la Rosa. Waits are shorter than a to typical Saturday... Although now that the rain stopped I expect things to start getting crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the difference is that there isn't quick/easy access from the back kitchen to the front "open area" past the registers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This question was directed at those who do count their rides. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do any of you enthusiasts use an app to count your coaster rides? If so, what would you recommend? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At fest haus la Rosa that is exactly what they do.... You complete the line and pay and then they bring you your pizza in a box through the side door near the registers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
