Beastfreak Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Whities for Breakfast!! OH YUM!! All the food in there is very good. Its all fresh.

SOB_TOM Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I would think that they would have to because it does have milk in it. I saw it as well, but havent gotten anything from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOB_TOM Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 why pay for that when I get the regular oscars food for free? Do you work HB?

Losing Streak Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 No, I work in food, and we get meal tickets. I think personally it's an incentive for us not to eat the food, but thats just my thoughts on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the only place I know that gets free food at Oscars (one of the benefits for getting people over there) What is Oscar's? I have never seen it: 1. At the park. 2. On a park map. 3. In The Unofficial Guidebook to Paramount's Kings Island 4. On the PKI homepage. Will someone please tell me what and where Oscar's is? Is Oscar's a cafeteria strictly for employees?

SML828 Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Oscars is the employee cafeteria....Or as PKI says: "Where OUR stars eat!" - I know, corny, isn't it! Oscars is basically between International Showplace and the Back Porch...behind whatever restaurant is there (Magilla's, I think)...there's a path to it on the Back Porch side and another entrance behind the big gates on the Showplace side.

italianchef Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 SML828, Thanks for the info. Do you folks get a good discount? Do only seasonal employees eat there or full-timers too? Is it open year round or just seasonally? What kind of food do they offer? Thanks......ItalianChef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user8770 Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Employees: Be careful about information, which you disclose regarding Oscars. We don’t want to tell tons of people where it is, then have guests flocking to Oscars. It is an employee benefit. According to PKI policy, employees may not purchase food/drink for non-employees. Also, non-employees may not come in Oscars with you. Non-employees: To eat at Oscars, you must have a valid Employee ID card, and going behind the scenes is violating park policy.

It just open during the Operating Season. They LaRosa's, burgers, chicken strips, salad bar, fries, and normally one or two various 'hot meals' each day (i.e. Skyline, Taco Salad, Pasta, etc.) There are also a few other different items, as well as various vending machines.

StXBomber Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I was in there yesterday, but couldn't find the white castles! I need more specific details for where this vending machine is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StXBomber Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hmmmmm, I was looking in those machines, still didn't see them. Of course, I was hungry, and didn't know if they were in any other machines somewhere in Oscars. I'll have to check again next weekend! Gotta have my castles!

Beastfreak Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 They are in those machines, you just have to look. Another note to everyone about Oscars. The head supervisor in there does not tolerate people coming in and trying to buy food without an ID. He will call security and have you thrown out of the park. If you work in the park and buy food for people who don't, you will be fired on the spot. Its already happened this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterKrazy Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Everyday I find another reason why I would have LOVED to work at PKI this season. I'll just wait until I'm 18 when I can stay in the dorms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterKrazy Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 (edited) There aren't dorms or employee housings at PKI? When I was looking into a job for this season, a little blurb on their web site mentioned that Paramount's Kings Island can provide low-cost housing for those people who are 18+ or who are 17+ and have graduated from high school. Let get back to you on that one, I'm trying to find it right now... EDIT: Couldn't find the information on housing. Anyone have any information?

Scooby_Doo Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 HUH? PKI has dorms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Well you are incorrect. I've worked there six years and have heard nothing of this. They do assit in finding housing (the UC dorms) for the international students that we employ over the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return_of_Yogi Posted April 28, 2003 Author Share Posted April 28, 2003 o yeah.....they told you bout the dorms eh.......yeah, Iv'e seen em.......underneath PKIU, also where you can find the elusive Skylift for this year and TR show........HA.........

StXBomber Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 You might be thinking about CP. I know they have dorms for employees, but not PKI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterKrazy Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I must have misunderstood the information. I do remember reading that Paramounts Kings Island could provide low-cost housing to those employees that live more than "X" miles from the park, but I don't remember the exact distance. I just assumed it meant dorms, but apparently I was mistaken. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Well, I'm still unaware of any housing assistance for anyone who lives "X" far away. I've never heard of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 If its in the same place as the internationals are housed, then its at UC, after the dorms clear out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
