June 17, 201016 yr Last year I got the best pretzel I've ever had from the stand under the Eiffel Tower. Went back 2 weeks ago...not the same. Last year- Big, doughy, painted with melted butter, kind of sweet. This year- Microwaved Super Pretzel. Are they still selling the good ones somewhere in the park? If so, where? Going tomorrow and would really like to get another good one. Thanks in advance.
June 17, 201016 yr Yes they are. You can find them at the KI Pretzel Stand on I-Street near Festhaus.
June 17, 201016 yr Yeah, they're $5 per pretzel, which isn't cheap but they're are a marked improvement over the out-of-box ones sold elsewhere in the park. They have 3 types: salt, butter and cinnamon. The salt (which is like a beefed up traditional pretzel) is by far the best.
June 17, 201016 yr Author Awesome, that what I'm looking for. Don't care how much they cost. Best ever.
June 17, 201016 yr I've gotten those pretzels twice and they were some of the worst I've ever had. Maybe I was just unlucky when I went and didn't get the best employee making them. They were dry and hardly had any cinnamon on them. I'd much rather have one of those frozen Superpretzels over what I was served at the Pretzel Stand. The ones that were served in the Candy Shop on IS back in the early 2000's were very wonderful, and were the best pretzels I've ever had. This years' just don't compare.

Might have been your luck or might have been the time of day. I've eaten there three times and they were very moist. Any more and they'd almost be too doughy.
June 19, 201016 yr The first time was about 1/2 before park close, so that was probably the reason that time. The other time, the guy working there just seemed absolutely clueless. I'll give them another shot since so many people here are saying they are good...

If there's something "wrong" with it, you might want to say something, and they might be able to make a fresh one or something.
June 19, 201016 yr I love these pretzels! We visited the park quite a few times before memorial day and I always went by the shop, hoping to get one. They were never open when we went, I guess they wait until closer to the summer season to open. My kids made fun of me constantly for always being disappointed for not getting a pretzel, shaking my fist at the giant pretzel overhead. So much that my son texted me when he went with his dad one weekend just to let me know that my pretzels were finally available. After he had one, then he understood.
July 16, 201016 yr Bump! OK, so yesterday I gave these pretzels another chance. I got one at 5:45, it was the first thing I did when I got to the park. Once again, I was severely disappointed in the quality. It was nice and soft, but there was a strange taste to it, almost chemical. I got the cinnamon sugar one. I'm definitely done trying those. After re-reading this topic and seeing BoddaH's post that the salt ones are the best, I'll give them one more chance and order that kind. It's a rare thing when I'll give something 4 chances... I've also not been known to have an aversion to cinnamon and sugar before!
July 17, 201016 yr Microwave super Pretzels are the most disgusting things on the planet in my opinion. I won't be going to the stand near the Eiffiel Tower anytime soon. Thanks for the heads up!
July 20, 201016 yr well then don't go to any stands scattered through the park either. They all have a pretty much 3 things, Dip n' Dots, Drinks, Super Pretzels Lol...
July 20, 201016 yr I HATE soft Pretzles, but I love the ones in I street! In the street? Please...I know prices are high, but don't pick up pretzels in the street and then eat them... Terp, who just HAD to, as he can't have two...
July 20, 201016 yr Oh wow Terpy, a tripple wammy in one? If you were on Wammy, you'd loose my friend. Cobra, doesn't know if anyone else knows about this show, or am I just blowing smoke?
July 20, 201016 yr Loose? I spose you mean lose...but thanks for the friend part! Terp, who loves having friends...especially given his punny nature
July 20, 201016 yr the pretzels on i-street were a waste of money. the out-of-the-box-microwave-whatever are better. when are we going to get the pretzels like the ones at Cedar Point. now those are awesome.
July 21, 201016 yr Well if something is ever loose, you may lose it. So I spose... Or say this fast three times. Choose a smooth footloose moose and you can't loose!
July 21, 201016 yr I think what they mean is they are frozen while the ones at I-street are hand made made.
July 21, 201016 yr I don't think the pretzels served elsewhere are microwaved... I have microwaved pretzels all the time.
July 21, 201016 yr And as for fresh made, the pizza crust at Cedar Point is fresh made this year. Last year it was frozen. Last year, Cedar Point had delightful pizza at Chuck Wagon back by Maverick. This year, in my humble opinion, the new fresh made product is absolute crap. Fresh made can be crappy. Frozen can be delightful. Quality, or lack thereof, is not totally dependent on when/where a product was first made...
July 21, 201016 yr I have always believed: food does not make itself great; the people making the food make it great.
July 21, 201016 yr the pretzels on i-street were a waste of money. the out-of-the-box-microwave-whatever are better. Finally, someone who agrees with me! I was beginning to think it was just me... Like I said in a post above, I'll give the salt ones a try, but I can't do that until at least August 5th. I'll be otherwise occupied until then, sliding on down to Schlitterbahn and making my way like a Bullet to a certain Boardwalk in Texas.
July 21, 201016 yr I actually had a pretzel o I-Street a couple of weeks a go. It was the cinnamon one and it was rreeally good. That is great for the blood sugar!
July 21, 201016 yr I've heard some good things from friends, I'll have to try a Street pretzel (which is quite different from a street pretzel!).
