Your KI Diet

[SonofBaconator]

When you go to KI, what do you like to eat?

[Coaster.Rider.Kings Island]

Rivertown Potato Works. I like chicken tenders with cheese covered potatoes.

[jdawg1998]

LaRosa's or Panda Express...I love Panda Express...orange chicken with cho meng...mmm!

[DontWantToWait42mar0]

I recommend one of these before entering the park:

And ofcourse Blue Ice Cream with sprinkles.

[The Interpreter]

Skyline Chili. (Gold Star would be even better)

Rivertown LaRosa's ( no breadsticks, please).

[malem]

Rivertown LaRosa's ( no breadsticks, please).

Do they charge less for forgoing them? Menu board prices there are for "combos" of pizza and breadsticks.

I believe you can buy the 2 slices of pizza separately. Though I've never been in the Rivertown LaRosa's, only the one in the Festhaus.

[The Interpreter]

Yes. It's about $5.99.

At least on opening day, the slices were much smaller than year before last, though.

[BB1]

Carbohydrates here and there, but usually some sort of solution containing H2O.

[jcgoble3]

Hank's burrito, with rice, chicken, black beans, lettuce, cheese, and a little bit of guacamole is my favorite.

I've also developed a taste for the orange chicken at Panda Express this year, despite the fact that I generally don't like Chinese food.

I may get some cheese coneys or a 3-way at I-Street Skyline occasionally, though like Terpy I would vastly prefer Gold Star.

Two scoops of cookies and cream ice cream in a dish from Graeter's is a common stop for me on my way out when I've stayed until closing on a hot summer night.

Sometimes on a hot afternoon, I'll grab a chocolate milkshake from the ice cream stand on the back side of Juke Box Diner.

LaRosa's is typically avoided unless I'm with a group that wants to eat there.

I'd like to try the ribs at the Reds Grille, but I can't eat a full rack, so I would need someone else to split them with, and I'm usually by myself.

[TheCrypt]

The Rivertown LaRosa's whenever possible. I love the atmosphere of that little place versus the Festhaus. The International Street location is nice, too, but it doesn't have Vortex right above your head.

Whenever I'm in the mood for it, blue ice cream--but only from Ice Scream Zone.

[Cody]

Breakfast: 8am
I'll make us something homemade at the house

Lunch:11am or 12pm depends on how long the lines are.
We'll pack our own lunch, we estimated that this saves us $20-30 dollars

Dinner:5pm or 6pm depends on how long the lines are.

We end up actually driving about 8minutes away from the park and go to TGI fridays or Apple Bees

we estimated this saves us around $8 dollars a person.

During the park we'll eat little things here n there(blue ice cream/funnel cakes/Potato works fries) this is about it tho.

So really at the end of the day, the money we saved from lunch & dinner, really goes to games & snacks in the park. So all is well.

[MDMC01]

At the Festhaus, I like LaRosa's cheese pizza, bread sticks and Mac n' cheese, plus I will sometimes get Vanilla Dippin' Dots. Subway sandwiches and hotdogs from Skyline are also good

[milesharrison]

Gluten free pizza in Festhaus or Chili Cheese Fries from Skyline have been my steady diet in the past.... Although I may have to expand my horizons to some of the options at Coney Potato Works this year!

Asides from the gluten free options, generally go with a Cherry Vanilla Coke from the Freestyle Machines or a Mello Yello from anywhere that has it. Other than that I gotta get ice cream...chocolate or blueberry twist in a dish!

I remember the days when I could only eat a bag of chips, a Coke, and some Dip n Dots... Man how times have changed. (For the better in this case)

[Jr for Birdy]

I like to mix it up, I eat whatever I'm craving usually. jcgoble3,they have the Ribs on the appetizer menu, just the right amount at the right price, I don't like to get full at amusement parks.

[silver2005]

LaRosa's is my go-to food most of the time. Of all 3 locations, I actually prefer the International Street location. I kind like to people-watch plus just the allure of that area plus the fountains is relaxing to me. I'll probably start eating at the Reds restaurant quite a bit as I LOVE Montgomery Inn BBQ and I'm a diehard Reds fan, not to mention its right by my favorite wood and steel coaster. I'm also a patron of Graeter's, the blue ice cream, and Rivertown Potato Works, where I used to work during the 2004 season, not good when they were hitting sewer lines to make way for Italian Job and the train rushes when the water park closed. O.o

The only time I ever eat Skyline at the park is in October. I can't stand chili in hot weather.

[SupremoSteveo]

Chili cheese fries from Skyline and blue ice cream. Those turkey legs are looking very tasty though, think I'll try one next visit.

[The Interpreter]

I must sadly report that, in my experience, park turkey legs look and smell much grander than they are. Every one I've ever bought has been either dry, tough and chewy or so salty I couldn't eat it, or both.

[SupremoSteveo]

That saddens me. I get one every year from the Indiana State Fair and it is always juicy and tender. Maybe if I get one early in the day it wouldn't be so bad.

[DBInternational]

As much as I love Skyline and LaRosa's, I hate eating them at KI. Skyline kills my stomach and LaRosa's hurts real bad going up the DB lift hill. (Yet somehow I always end up eating at either of the two stores)

And of course I have to have my chili cheese fries from potato works and a funnel cake.

[Hank]

I might get fries in Rivertown, pizza in Rivertown, blue "whatever it is" on a cone in Planet Snoopy, and some Coke-a-cola in the Festhaus. My daughter will usually get watermelon in the Festhaus. Outside of that, lots and lots of free water.

Sorry, Dippin' Dots guy.

[markr]

Rivertown Potato Works with BBQ sauce on the side to dip them in-plum tasty!

[Tanna]

Usually potato works or funnel cake. If I'm there all day, Chik-fil-a.

[Diamondbacker]

I LOOOVE me some orange chicken at Panda Express in the Festhaus.

[TTD-120-420]

If it was up to me I wouldn't eat all day, but when my group decides to eat I usually end up getting something with them.

I usually drink an Arnold Palmer on the way to the park. This year I get a pulled pork sandwich at the Red's Grille. On the way home we stop at Speedway and I get a speedy freeze that is a mix between cherry flavored and Coke and then I also get a Little Debbie Cosmic Brownie.

[XjoshhyX]

I'm just gonna go ahead and say everything and anything. If i'm by it and i'm hungry, I can find something there to eat.

[Sonofbeast2.0]

The one thing I don't like about any theme/amusement park is that the food smells so good!

I usually get a fresh hot pretzel from the "shop" that is close to the fountain. I got one from their before where it was hard as a rock but in the middle a dough ball...

[The Interpreter]

Was that THIS year? It's Auntie Anne's now. Before, it wasn't.

[Jayblazer]

I have always wanted to try the pretzel dog. I'm not sure why i have never pulled the trigger on one yet. I normally only eat at the water park and there i get the chicken fingers basket. its actually pretty good.
