lance99 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 What are some of the less expensive places to eat in the park?. I will only be there for about 3 and a 1/2 hours and I will arrive at lunchtime. My girlfriend who I am going with absolutely loves the festhaus as she works at that eatery, but, last week when we went to the park it cost me ten dollars for a small salad and some watermelon there and I would rather not pay that price again. I will have maybe 20 dollars on me in cash to spend all day. I am looking for a price range of seven to eight dollars. Also are you allowed to bring in your own food?. I will not be doing the following... No souveiners (I live six minutes from the park and have a pass so it is worthless to buy anything like that) No spending added money on anything besides lunch. I have a souveiner mug I got last week and I heard you can get refills for a dollar...is that true?. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 ...Why not just eat outside the park before you go in...? Edit: With tax it's like $1.12 Quote
TheCrypt Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 You can refill souvenir cups from THIS YEAR for a dollar. You may not, however, bring your own food to the park. Quote
jcgoble3 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 For $7 to $8, you're going to have to eat outside the park. There's a number of fast food options up around Exit 25 (first exit north of the park); those will be the closest. I've heard that there are other options a short distance south of the park, but I don't know what's down there. EDIT: You could also pack some food in a cooler and eat at your car. Food may not be brought into the park itself, but it's allowed in the parking lot. Quote
lance99 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 OK...Have this question then...say I choose to go to subway in coney mall. What are the costs for a six inch sub sandwich?. Quote
McSalsa Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Hmm, I didn't make this jingle up, someone else here on KIC did, but if I recall correctly it went... "Six...Six...Six-Dollar Six Inch..."Yeah, I'm guessing about that much. I think this was from a few seasons ago, though, so it may be even more now... PS: If you made this jingle or remember who did, please remind me. Quote
jcgoble3 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 OK...Have this question then...say I choose to go to subway in coney mall. What are the costs for a six inch sub sandwich?. $6 to $8 for a six-inch sub. Which is a rip-off. (Incidentally, if you really want to go that route, go to the one in Soak City instead. That one has a larger selection of subs and can do hot/toasted subs, which the Coney Mall location cannot.) Quote
Joncars05 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 OK...Have this question then...say I choose to go to subway in coney mall. What are the costs for a six inch sub sandwich?. $6 to $8 for a six-inch sub. Which is a rip-off. Almost all dining options at KI are a rip-off. The prices are usually outrageous and the food quality is mediocre at best (Larosa's pizza, Hamburgers, chicken tenders, etc. Although I do like the fries from potato works) Your best option for cheap food is to either pack a lunch in a cooler and leave it in your car or keep your parking receipt leave the park and head to one of the closer dining options. 2 Quote
Cody Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 You may not, however, bring your own food to the park. You CAN bring your own food to the park, you just cannot take it in the park and eat it. Pack a cooler full of goods and you can go out and eat in a shaded area in the parking lot, I usually bring a nice big picnic blanket and drive the car over to a shaded grassy area and unload the cooler and the blanket and wola enjoy your meal, after you're done just pack everything up and go repark and re-enter the park. 2 Quote
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 If you are going to only be there for 3 hours or so, eat before you arrive at the park and then just buy a pop and a pretzel or popcorn to hold you over till the end. There is no need to buy a complete meal at the park. Save your money for the pop and snacks. If you have a refillable cup, just pay the refill price. 1 Quote

The jingle normally pops into my head whenever I pass a Subway in the park. I mentioned signing it once in a post around here somewhere and of course people got mad at me. I remember seeing it posted elsewhere around here before that though. The Jingle actually loses punch nowadays since Subway as all but abandoned the $5 Footlong. 2 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Eat out of the trash cans if you want to eat on a budget. 1 Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 ^^ 5 Dollar Foot Long was where it was at! Now they have the featured 5 buck footlong, but it's always the subs that aren't any good. 4 Quote
Coaster.Rider.Kings Island Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Nothing inside the park is CHEAP, if I wanted to really eat inside the park I would pick Rivertown Potato Works. 2 Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 ^^ 5 Dollar Foot Long was where it was at! Now they have the featured 5 buck footlong, but it's always the subs that aren't any good. Yup. There are only 5 different ones around here and one of those is a Breakfast sub. The ads all focus on 6 inch Subs and the accompanying $4 deals on them. I can't help but feel this has happened in part due to the bogus Lawsuit over a half an inch of Bread. Quote

TeTe27 Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Good Luck finding a cheap place to eat there and if you do find a good cheap spot...TELL US!! Quote
YoungStud Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 The candy store in coney mall. You can get enough sugar rush to last 3 hours or so in the park. 1 Quote
coasterfanatic83 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 The price of a chili cheese dog at Skyline isn't too bad. It's a pretty decent value, and those usually hold me over for a while. They're less than $4.00 though! 1 Quote
upstop Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 My favorite, and cheapest place to eat is "Le Hatchback du Prius". Its located in the parking lot, usually in row 14. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 The four way is absolutely huge, and about $8. Gold Star, it's not, but it'll do. I prefer Putz's Creamy Whip or Culver's, though. 1 Quote
