Reclaimer Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 While it isn't confirmed for Kings Island, Kings Dominion has renamed their Bubba Gump's to Outer Hanks. http://www.kingsdominion.com/attractions/c...ry.cfm?ac_id=34 More confirmation over at bgescape: http://www.bgescape.com/forum/index.php?sh...766&st=540# When I visited for training last weekend, there were noticeable changes. -New Kings Dominion sign in front of the International Street fountains. -Berserker's red painted to purple-pink. -The Paramount Theatre sign gone. It is now Kings Dominion Theater. -HSXLC no where in sight. -Dominator (obviously) -TR Grill is now Trail's End Grill with a new sign. -TRFF is now The Crypt with a new sign. -Bubba Gump's Shrimp Shack sign gone and is now known as Outer Hank's. -Re-adding of Launch Pad trampolines. -Rebel Yell both face forwards. -Drop Zone sign gone and is now known as "Drop Tower".

Purplehaze Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 A few years back they had awesome wings at Lt. Dans, then they went to the boneless ones. The sauce changed and it was like eating pure hotsauce. Dont get me wrong I love anything hot however I want them to tast like Buffalo Wings not franks red hot. Mike told me this the bartender who has been there for years. I also love the fries with cheese and sour cream and onions. I hope the food doesnt change the Bubba Gumps food rawked.

italianchef Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Bubba Gump's name will inevitably change in the future. But when? 2009? 2019? I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I just made a sweet deal with Cedar Fair and the Corporate HQ of Bubba Gumps. All Bubba Gump restaurants worldwide will be changed to Cajun Charles' Cafe. We shall serve gumbo, crayfish, jambalaya, alligator, and all your Cajun favorites. Cajun music will play, the decor will change, and pictures of me and my Cajun family will grace the walls. Let the Good Times Roll!

The Interpreter Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 And what will the prices be? The Interpreter, ever practical.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Being from Loisiana, one of the poorest states in the union, the prices will be modest, except for the alligator. You ever tried to cook an alligator???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 No, but they are delicious. Some of the best food I ever had was in southwestern Pennsylvania...where the two specialties of the house were, honestly, alligator and peanut butter soup!

AHHH, the days before cable tv and video games........ Knowing Cedar Fair, they are not apt to change the food much, if at all. From Kings Dominion's website, this is what Outer Hanks there, formerly known as Bubba Gumps, serves: Outer Hanks Fried shrimp, shrimp sandwiches, fish and chips, fish sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, loaded cheese fries, Caesar salads, soft drinks, beer, and frozen adult beverages can all be found at Outer Hanks located near the entrance to the Congo Area. That same webpage has a very interesting error: Victoria Pizza A great place for large groups, Victoria's offers plenty of air conditioned seating with great views of many rides and attractions. The menu features whole pizzas or pizza by the slice, lasagna, garden or chef salads, cheese-filled breadsticks, incredible desserts, ice cold sodas, and beer. Victoria Pizza is located in the Grove near the Drop Zone. Located near the WHAT? http://www.kingsdominion.com/attractions/c...ry.cfm?ac_id=34 [note: usually within hours of a webpage error being cited here, it gets corrected...so if it now says Drop Tower as you read this...it got fixed] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I can officially confirm that Bubba Gump's Shrimp Shack will be Outer Hanks for the 2008 season and beyond. Confirmed by Kings Island's PR dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Well, you and the park may be able to confirm that it will be Outer Hanks in 2008. But beyond? That will depend on the then owner of the park...which may well NOT be Cedar Fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 ^Not those darn cranes again, and if you are going to sing, change the song. I am starting to have nightmares: cranes attack me with clown faces while I am on a roller coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
