fyrfyter Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 I wish KI would go Pepsi, that would be great. I love Pepsi and they have much better products than Coke. I think using Coke in the parks is a paramount thing, not just a KI thing. I agree that Pepsi si beeter because you get Mountain Dew, and Dr. Pepper, and Diet Pepsi tastes way better than Diet Coke, but I just don't think it will ever happen at PKI. Quote
Losing Streak Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 I know its a paramount thing, I just happened to say KI. Excuse me for my imperfections. Quote

Beastfreak Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 Just have to say. Got back from Spring break and visited Carowinds. Now they have a new restruant called "Outer Hanks" (sorta a pun with the Outer Banks an area on the Atlantic Ocean in the Carolinas) that serves the Bubba Gumps food. I of course at there cause my old boss that now works at Carowinds treated me to it. I got the shrimp basket which was fried shrimp and fries. I thought it was great and if KI has the same food I'm sure its going to be very popular. They also have a fried fish basket and a fish and shrimp combo and some other things as well. I'm not sure if KI will have more or the same or what they are having exactly but I just know its going to be good. Quote
Dane Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 (edited) I think some of you guys thinking there is going to be like a contunuous flow of vomit. That wount be happoning.

Dino2003 Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 Iam a HUGE seafood buff pki would be more Awsome if they put in a seafood Resturant! Quote
shadow2k3 Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Little OF Gardens update. They are tearing down the thing and they are putting in Bubba Gump. I asked one of the construction workers that happened to be working across my shop. ~Shadow~ Quote
Beastfreak Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 You had to ask the construction worker to figure out they were tearing out Gardens? Just look at the building, errr whats left. Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Cool...ummm will the Viking ship still be there????? Quote
pki_guy Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Yes. Hopefully, that will be there for a long time. Quote
Return_of_Yogi Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Heres an idea........If They Phase out Oktober fest........Change the ship on the viking ship, and some neat wind effects, maybe some water and call it "a Perfect Storm" Quote
Captain Picard Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 or they could call it return to gilligan's island put some huts and sand some palm trees around it Quote
bingog34 Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Yeah, I'm all for Gilligan's. I love Gilligan's Island! Great show. Quote
shadow2k3 Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 You had to ask the construction worker to figure out they were tearing out Gardens? Just look at the building, errr whats left. I had a good idea that they were doing it, I was just double checking. Nothing wrong with that... ~Shadow~ Quote
DragonLord Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 The new Shrimp Shack won't be finished till June 15th, the construction is still very extensive. Subway is going where Sweet Tooth used to be. They are reconstructing that building as well. I belive that It's Fried will be selling what Sweet Tooth had as well as it's normal items (can anyone verify this?). The ship will stay the same for now, nothing is going on with that. The I.S. Foutain looks GREAT! It looks brand new! The metal dectors are up at the front gate and have been placed several feet in front of the ticket booths. They are not in place yet for the employees. The new Sponge Bob stuff looks pretty cool in front of FX Theater. Some of this might be repeated, sorry for that. I hope to see everyone this weekend, I will be working Saturday morning and pulling a double on Sunday. I can't wait! Quote
Losing Streak Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 I didn't see the metal detectors. Are they outside the garage doors that block off the entrance? Everybody on the inside in food (area managers, sups,...) is calling it Bubba Gump's, so Bubba Gump's is what I will be calling it. Are they going to tear the building down or just gut it? From the looks of things, I'd say they're just gutting it. Quote
Beastfreak Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 The metal detectors are on the outside of the park, before you buy your tickets or go through the gates. Yeah they are just gutting Bubba Gumps, the outside of the building will just be repainted and rethemed. The front of the building will be extened out and the "food lines" will be changed around.

Dino2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 The new Sponge Bob stuff looks pretty cool in front of FX Theater. Really? are they cutouts of spongebob and big banners? what kinda stuff do you mean? Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 Dino your Right its prob the same stuff as 7th portal.. cutouts and banners( i wonder if we will hear the theme music to Spongebob?) but just themed to Spongebob i cant wait til next month when it opens...But i wanna know will the shrimp shack cost alot money to go and eat there? will you still be able to feed the fish..i like to do that when iam resting for a lil bit~ Quote
Losing Streak Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 Anybody got any idea about how overpriced the Subway is going to be in the park? And will it participate in the stamp program? FYI: The price of a 20 oz of pop has yet again been raised, this time to 2.75. Also, Chills, available at most Carts, have increased from $3.00 to $3.50. Dippin Dots are still $3.50, Pretzels are still $3.00, and Cheese is still $1.00. Useless Info: The Chinese Restaurant Replacing All-Star is run by an outside company and will not be staffed by people hired by Kings Island, while Subway and Bubba Gump's will be staffed by regular employees of the park. The employee's assigned to BG's are working in the Festhaus until BG's opens. Quote
pki_guy Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 I'm curious about Subway also. It will probably be overpriced like everything else in the park. Quote
teenageninja Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 Do you think it will be the same priced? They have to pay subway for the liscense than make money off the sandwhiches. Although 2.75 is a lot for a 20 oz. drink they have the new sprite so I am interested in trying that. Quote
Losing Streak Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 I hope it's the same price, but I doubt it will be. LaRosa's and Skyline are more expensive in the park, so... I just hope that they don't do it like they did LaRosa's. Pepperoni Pizza or Cheese Pizza. No other toppings. I hope you still get to do the walk through pick everything part of Subway. Quote
missdi Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 Hopefully the Subway is cheaper than they are at Six Flags, 3 years ago when I went a 6" sub, chips and drink was like around $7.00. Didn't even have the variety and toppings that are available in the usual stores. Does anybody have any info on the Chinese restaurant, is it buffet style? Prices? Quote
Dino2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Subway...and its near one of my fav rides The Racer ...Subway will prob be overpriced like everything is hey parks gotta make money for new rides thats how i see it! Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 i cant wait to try Bubba gump Shrimp! i wonder if it will be overpriced! Quote
fyrfyter Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 Hopefully the Subway is cheaper than they are at Six Flags, 3 years ago when I went a 6" sub, chips and drink was like around $7.00.

Mandarin Cuisine is not buffet style, but considerin ti is chinese food and a departure from the norm, I think there prices are pretty reasonable, although elevated like the other food in the park.

Captain Picard Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 Mandarin Cuisine cost no more than the Chinese restaurant where i live for 2 it is about 20 dallors the same as pki Quote
fyrfyter Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 Mandarin Cuisine cost no more than the Chinese restaurant where i live for 2 it is about 20 dallors the same as pki Thats some expensive chinese food where you live. Around here, its only about $4 a person for lunch and about $6 for dinner. Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 The park had a mexican restraint at one time it was located in Rivertown wear Skyline chili is now. Everything old is gone eventually. A lot of memories in this thread. My favorite part? "The Subway will not suck." All righty then. 5 Quote
