CoasterCrazy Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Not that i have anything wrong with the new shrip joint as as i enjoyed it at PKD last year. Before i complain let me ask a question. The favirote food of mine in the park was the chicken bbq sandwich they had there, do they have it someplace else in the park? I can see why the closed it down hardly anyone ever went there. Is thier anyone that can answer my question? or feels the same way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I think it is being offered at Tuckers. Not 100% certain on that, I know they are serving the pulled pork BBQ, not sure about the chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I don't think that Preston T. Tucker's Roadside Cafe is offering the chicken BBQ sandwiches. I'll check on my next park visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elder Panther Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 What kind of restaurant is this? Is it going to be sit down and order or get your food and sit down like every other PKI restaurant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 It's going to be a grab your food and sit resteraunt. Hopefully KI will get a sit down with free refills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 Free refils think about. Like the park would do that lol and turn down the money. It would be cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CantStopCabron Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 They really need a "sit down" resturant. It always makes it a little bit nicer. Plus, it makes your day a little more relaxing. I bet they think no one has time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Pki Fan Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I think that if the park had a place to get away from the crowds of the park for a while then people would stay in the park longer. A sit down restraunt would do just that. Free refils would rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 The pizza place at Cedar Point gives free refills, and if it's a sit down resteraunt I could see that happening, because you couldn't walk around with the drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Technically it will be a "sit down" restruant. They are adding more seating to the place, now not all of it will be inside like at Festhaus or Wings, though KI will most likely never have a sit down restruant like where people come and serve you. Now Sharky's on the other hand, they are supposed to start the "order and deliver". This means you order and someone will bring it to you. Though I can't gaurentee that.

coasterrz Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Acutally, one of the restaurants at Paramount`s Carowinds had free refills. I do not remember which one it was, (I visited in 2001) but I know that it served Pizza (LaRosa`s if I`m not mistaken.) I also believe it was near the Flying Super Saturator. If PKI were to recieve a restaurant that had free refills, that would make it extremely popular, with out having it be sit down with waiters and waitresses.

pkifreak Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I would settle for one restaurant with FREE refills for Gold Pass holders. Then I wouldn't have to keep a pop cooler in my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Kings Island is the only park that serves LaRosa's Pizza. This is because its a Cincinnati food, just like Skyline. The restuarant you are talking about CoasterRZ is Carowind's "Wings Diner" that serves free refills. I ate there when I went on opening day and got refills. They do serve a pizza like the LaRosa's at KI but it is a different company. I only know this because I talked with my old boss, now the food director at Carowinds (Chuck Perkins) and he took me around that day and told me about everything.

coasterrz Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I`m fairly certain Paramount`s Carowinds serves LaRosa`s. In fact when I visited in 2001, the park map said that that restaurant served LaRosa`s famous pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Pki Fan Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 larossa's is a local company but i belive u that they would serve pizza up there. It's a big market a chance to make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Like I said before... Carowinds does not serve LaRosa's Pizza. Yeah the pizza is like LaRosa's with the same type of dough and stuff, the sauce and cheese and everything is not LaRosa's. They are a lot alike, but Carowind's pizza is not LaRosa's.

fyrfyter Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 I think I remember reading that Bubba Gumps is gonna hve a bar as well. I can't believe this, as I do not think that there are any other bars in PKI. The other plus is that there was some mention of beer and mixed drinks, which currently do not exist at PKI.

coasterrz Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Well, according to their 2001 park map it was LaRosa`s pizza. I had it and it tasted like Larosa`s. Now you may be right and it might just be a copy of LaRosa`s. But if it is a copy, its a pretty darn good copy of LaRosa`s pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Actually it could possibly be LaRosa's. You can get the pizza shipped anywhere, and if a big company like Paramount wanted it, I bet they could get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing Streak Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 All they have to do is ship the boxes of "LaRosa's Pizza Sauce," just like they do for Kings Island. That's the only unique thing about the pizza. I believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's going to be called Lt. Dan's Liquor Stand or something along that line. I think there used to be a bar in the Festhaus a few years back. It was the actual bar off the Cheers set.

Beastfreak Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 One, like I said, I talked to the food manager of Carowinds when I was there on opening day, he said it was NOT LaRosa's but it was like it. Two, yes there will be a bar at Bubba Gumps. Supposedly at 38ft bar with actual mixed drinks (I think) unlike the "back bar" that used to be on Gardens and only sold Beer. I have seen something about Lt. Dan's Liquor Stand, but I'm not sure if there actually will be a name to it or not. Three, there was never an actual bar in Festhaus that I know of. There may have been, but none that I know of. The only place that I ever knew to have a full bar was in the International Restuarant.

fyrfyter Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Thats cool. It will be nice to be able to get something to drink other than Beer and Pop. On those really hot days, beer just doesn't cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing Streak Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 yeah, mixed drinks are so much better than water... let me tell you... being even more dehydrated on those hot days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 yeah, mixed drinks are so much better than water... let me tell you... being even more dehydrated on those hot days... One things for sure, mixed drinks go down a heck of a lot better on those hot days, than any beer ever will. Some of us are old enough and mature enough to enjoy ourselves with a little refreshment now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 fyrfyter, those other people are the ones that think alcohol should not be in the park. Seeing as how I'll finally be 21 in a month. I will enjoy a cold beer, or whatever, when i eat at the park as a guest. I'm not going to get plastered cause i'll most likely puke on a ride and i don't like to puke.

Losing Streak Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 they'd probably call it the S.S. Jenny, as that was its name in the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
