BoddaH1994 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 As reported by CP Food Blog, Carowinds is now testing online food ordering. Could Kings Island be next? https://cpfoodblog.com/carowinds-testing-mobile-food-ordering/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin22 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I usually don’t have my phone on me so it won’t really affect me but it’s nice to see parks integrating technology more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radishman Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Would give me an excuse to use the app at the park again. First 2 visits I used it for the map until I got a feel for the park and of course to mark my spot. Now I just memorize what row I'm in and only look at my phone for the time.

Oldiesmann Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Interestingly enough the app currently only lets you pre-order pizza, but the burrito restaurant had a door labeled "mobile order pickup" or something similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took this picture early June but forgot to post it, but yes it is a very basic pre-order process and I saw nobody use it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 I didn’t want to start a new thread because I thought it might lead to confusion, but I want to share something that’s semi-related to this. I got a new phone over the weekend, so often apps think they’re opening for the first time. When I opened the KI app, one of the banner ads was, “save time and order online.” I clicked on it and it just had a static screen saying the next pickup time was at 3:45 at Hank’s. I couldn’t click off of the screen, so I had to force close the app. Once I reopened it, all indications were gone. I do not believe that this is an indication that mobile ordering is coming soon. Probably just a place holder. Obviously many other parks have been able to successfully implement it, including within the family, but KI has yet to give it an old college try. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 The one time I tried it at Festhaus it was a disaster. They never saw my order and I waited fifteen minutes before they finally gave me my order. I still think they need to work on the configuration of the soft drink machines at the Festhaus so there is a more efficient flow of guests. There is always a bottle neck after the cash registers. It would be nice if they could get mobile ordering implemented and working smoothly at the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion742 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I just received an update for my Kings Island app saying it now has the ability to pick up food at a designated locker. Interesting. Same for my Carowinds app. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 When I was at the park this Sunday, there was a sign on the door of Hanks that said "Mobile Ordering Pickup" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 That sign has been there all season I think. I'll have to try the mobile ordering process next time I'm at KI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
