  1. If I was a local I would be hesitant to support a chaperone policy too quickly---I'm sure many that live around the park have kids that behave 100% of the time or at least such that no one would notice. I have the utmost faith that KI will figure this out one way or another though. In very general terms they need to send a message to those that might be inclined to cause trouble that KI is not the place to do it. It won't be tolerated, so let's not go there---let's go somewhere else to cause trouble, it's no fun to do it there.

    I am a local… the chaperone policy from KK only impacts kids 15 and under. That seems totally reasonable and has no impact on kids 16 and over.

  2. Park is filling quickly. I’m heading out for the day, but the “front” portion of the parking lot (closest to the parking entrance) is basically full and there’s still plenty of cars rolling in.

  3. I live very close to the park.
    I realize the park hit capacity and entrants were not allowed in after about 5pm… but many locals are stating that the park did fireworks at 930 tonight and started moving guests out early due to fights breaking out through the park. Possibly gang related

    Anyone there tonight to confirm?

  4. Park was dead today.
    Food service was great!
    Got pizza slices at fest haus LaRosa... no line, in and out quick.
    Noted signage posted about “online pre ordering being available soon”.
    Panda had no line.
    Went over to coney bbq smoke house, also no line.
    Sirloin looked similar to the tri tip...
    pro was that it also included some vegetables (mini peppers & onions)
    Cons, when I ordered it, it only included 4 slices of meat... each one was about 1.5” in diameter as its largest point. So like 4 “silver dollar” slices.
    I ended up adding to switch to a pulled pork sandwich, as I didn’t think I’d be satisfied with such a small beef portion.
    Interested to see what that portion actually is supposed to be, as the meal has potential.

  5. We also know how well they do enforcing the rules anyway. :rolleyes:

    Exactly.
    Since they weren’t able to enforce the specific smoking areas, (and guests didn’t all seem to understand that they needed to only smoke in those areas) it makes sense to me that they would make it clearer for everyone by just making smoking banned within the park.

    For example there were almost always people smoking in front of no smoking signs of the fest haus.

  6. If the Chef’s Plate continues to be this popular, I could very well see it moving to a new location next year if they choose to continue with it (which I really hope they do). Right now, it is cool where it is because guests entering the park can see the chefs grilling everything in front of them, but it really creates a lot of congestion on that side of International Street. The Wishbone Grill wasn’t really meant to handle this many people.

    If they wrapped the line the other way, to the fest haus, that could help... but honestly it’s only an issue for 30 minutes... so whatever

  7. All the trucks were in the parking lot!
    I think the decor on I-Street is pretty darn similar to last year. Plus, let’s not forget that the event is a few weeks away so this likely isn’t the final product. The new stages look pretty cool though. 

    When were the trucks in the parking lot??

    Is this whole thread a typo??
    When is (was) a food truck event this year???

  8. My son wanted Hanks.
    So I went with him. It actually looked good, and we were there. So I tried it again.

    The rice wasn’t crunchy!!! It was a really good option. Only real improvement/suggestion would be to offer fresh diced jalapeños... as there isn’t much spice ... and the canned jalapeños offered aren’t very appetizing.

    But overall, this was a great experience... so I retract my previous disappointment.

  9. The park has stated this is Saturday only.

    Their social media says Saturdays (but not only and made no reference to Sundays) but the signage at the wishbone clearly says it’s Saturday and Sunday... I just haven’t tried going on a Sunday

  10. I feel like it could be warmly accepted was an addition to Planet Snoopy (I know that they are great for adults too). But I think the PR aspect of adding one anywhere else would make noise people think it wasn’t a good addition to the main park (maybe part of the coney mall update could work too)

  11. I have been working and missed these opportunities, but it is great to see things like this pop up.  I am sure these are some of the things Chef Major envisioned when he took the job. 
    Even if you aren't a fan of this and prefer typical park food and not looking for a culinary experience, any time additional food offerings are made available it has to help out the other lines, even if by only a little.  Plus this is like a little secret meal that probably hasn't developed a long line yet?
    What is the guess on meal plan versus pay percentage on this?

    While there was a large sign in the midway about this, I don’t recall any reference to a price... so I’m not even sure if it was available for cash purchase.

  12. Tried around 8:30 and it was sold out. I’m going to get to the park earlier next Saturday and give it a shot! 

    Although social media said Saturday, the signage at the wishbone indicated this would occur on Saturday and Sunday. Although maybe they are out of prime rib cuts and anticipated this first weekend would only be Saturday??
