Has the names of a few restraunts changed? Some names I don't reconize.

^Nope, all the same as last year.

The actual listing for Outer Hanks still contains burritos:

Outer Hanks

Hand breaded fish-n-chips, shrimp, wings, special salads, desserts, burritos, burrito bowls, taco’s, nachos, specialty beers

Located in Oktoberfest

Tacos is already fixed - who says we don't help the park

So is lattes! *does a little happy dance*

Ooh, this is fun.

Can they fix the kids' meals/kid's meals?

Planet Snoopy Grill

Hamburgers, chicken tenders, corndogs, kids' meals

Snoopy's Snack Shack

Kid's meals

I must admit, I don't know off the top of my head which of those is actually correct, but I think it's kids'? My English teacher would be quite disappointed with me right now.

Edit: Captain Google with the answers! Chick-Fil-A has "kid's meal" and Wendy's has "kids' meal". So I'm still confused.

Not to go off topic, but I noticed a couple other errors on the website. The Adventure Express page lists the ride time as 2 mniutes 30 seconds and there is an extra, unnecessary bullet in the information.

Plus, the "Royal Moments: 1972" blog post from a couple weeks ago makes mention of "the Spirit of '76 turnpike cars, the Wild Mouse, ... , the Spider, the Antique Cars ..." I've never heard Marathon Turnpike called that (only its original name and Sunshine Turnpike), plus the park did not and has not had a Wild Mouse (it did have Bavarian Beetle, however). Finally, the Spider has always been called Monster and (this one is minor) Antique Cars was known as "Lex Taxis" and "Ohio Overland Auto Livery" its first year. Finally, the picture at the bottom of this post is from Coney Island, not Kings Island.

Edit - Also, Congo Falls' page says guests can get soaked on the "obversvation deck". And Eiffel Tower lists its height as 315-feet, while it is actually 314-feet (Drop Tower is 315).

Regarding kid's versus kids', I'd say kids' - the meal doesn't belong to a single child, justifying the plural.

Is it a meal designed for the age group (a kids' meal) or a meal fit for a kid (a kid's meal)? I'd say either works.

Looks like they've finally started taking these things seriously.

Taco salads, yum-like what used to be in festhaus many years ago. Hold the pink slime, please.

Best part of that ride is standing on the bridge and getting SOAKED when the boat hits the water.

As far as the cars go - technically it was two rides. There was Antique Cars on one side (plain cars) and Les Taxis (cars with taxi things on the roofs) on the other.

Perhaps it's time for the return of the Errors on VisitKingsIsland.com thread? (not that one from 2009, obviously)

When the ride opened, the Coney side was Les Taxis and the Rivertown one was Ohio Overland Auto Livery (although, technically, they were both part of Rivertown). They underwent a couple name changes during their 33 year run, with Antique Cars being the generic name for the tracks.

I would prefer to think that the majority of what I pointed out is copy editing stuff, and not "These pictures are from another park!" complaints (although I admit the stuff in the Royal Moments post is rather nerdy).

I have to say, I'm impressed how far we've come since 2009. I forgot how bad the site was back then. Makes me way more grateful for what we have now!

Perhaps it is just me, but I cannot imagine Mexican & amusement rides mixing well.

I feel the same way when I see people eating a large Larosa pepperoni pizza out in the July heat.

Hot cheese in 90 degrees......Mmmmmm!

Yeah, it didn't go well for me a few years ago at Holiday World.

Greg Scheid on Twitter, something interesting.

Time to build a new Subway!

KI's last attempt at Mexican was a major flop (Border Cafe, where I-Street Skyline now resides), hopefully they'll make it work this time.

That seems to be the existing Boomerang Bay Subway. It's an original WaterWorks building, so they're probably gutting and rebuilding it.

Not just the new fresh yummy for the tummy food but some of the food buildings too!

Actually they used to have Mexian food over by WWC, where they now serve Worlds Greatest Funnel Cakes. It was called Taco Canteen or something long those lines!

Also note the nice brick pavers... Hopefully those will be slightly cooler than concrete.

Another piece of Boomerang Bay to the dumpster, yay( ),although i still ponder why they dont have footlongs at the subway, hopefully they will with the remodel!

?????

I find concrete to be far, far cooler on my bare feet than the brick pavers they have in front of the changing rooms.

Bump

For those who have not seen this yet, http://www.visitkingsisland.com/article/media-center/Kings-Island-introduces-new-food-options.

It looks as though we're getting some more healthier food options as well. Also, I've noticed that Cedar Fair seems to be taking sponsorships more seriously with the names given to some of their newest additions. Lastly, it's nice to see some more unique foods returning to the park. Bavarian pretzels? Churros? Sounds good to me!

Churros are not unique to us Disney fans

My biggest complaint over the new options is the fact that the dining plans are only available attached to admission tickets. $9.00 extra for a meal and snack is a reasonable price that I would pay for, but for a season pass holder, I see no way to buy the dining plan by itself. You HAVE to buy a regular admission ticket to get the dining plan, and that IMO is a bad move. Those who have season passes are the ones who visit the park frequently and thus the ones most likely to know there are cheaper options nearby and thus eat outside of the park. If they want to make money off of this, they should be offering it to passholders to encourage us to eat in the park and not take our nickels elsewhere (I know I would take them up on the offer) instead of only giving the discount to the people who are more likely to eat in the park anyway and thus reducing their profit margin on those people.

I agree. If you made the dining plan for passholders, we would maybe eat in the park most of the time. If your just doing it for people on vacation or something, then most passholders might just go out of the park and get something cheaper.
