New Premium All Day Dining added to Kings Island food offerings in 2022

[BoddaH1994]

Includes drinks and a snack. Listed as $42.99 at the time of this writing.

I think that will be a big hit for ticket holders.

For $11 more than the standard all-day dining ($31.99 vs. $42.99), you get:

• All-day drink wristband at the standard 15 minute interval, a $14.99 retail value
• An expanded menu to include not just entree + side, but also select TBA snacks

Not bad if you value those.

Yeah it’s a no brainer. If they came up with something similar for All Season Dining I’d probably do it, at the very least just to try it out.

My wife has consistently stated that she wished the dining plan had a snack option, for things like an Auntie Ann`s Pretzel, or when she just wants fries from Rivertown Potato Works but doesn`t want a whole mean.  Weren`t they testing that at one of the other Cedar Fair parks back in 2019?

Yes, but I’m not sure if that was FUN or SIX. For one of the plans you could forego a meal for a snack, which is kind of absurd to pay for. 
 

If I could get, say, one snack at any point in addition to the meals it would be worth it to me. Sometimes I gather at the park with my friends and we all agree to eat when we all get there. If I’m there a few hours before them then sometimes I could use something to tide over.

Six Flags has two meal plans, a regular one which is one meal and a snack.  Then a deluxe meal plan which is two meals and a snack.  Both allow you to substitute a snack in place of a meal.

I really want a deluxe meal plan at Cedar Fair, I am willing to pay extra to get a snack every visit.

Is there a time limit on the snack? Like, does it have to be a certain amount of time before or after a meal?

Every 90 minutes you can either get a meal or a snack.

No time limits on the snack, it’s basically usable all day and you could pick it up at the same time as a meal if you want.

NOTE: This is the Six Flags meal plan, not Cedar Fair/Kings Island meal plans.

I’d even be content with the current plan (2 meals, 4 hours between), but allow me to use a meal credit on a “snack item” if i so choose instead of a meal.

They may loose alot of money.  Guest pay alot for snacks, ice cream and deep fried cookie dough comes to time.

Per the excerpt quoted above, I promise you they wont lose a dime, CF of all companies does everything reasonable (and sometimes less than) to not lose money.

I would like to see a middle tier for an all-season option that includes drinks and snacks only.  I always buy all season drinks but sometimes I don’t buy any food at all during my visit. Especially if I am going alone.  If I could get all day drinks AND potato works or a pretzel or a blue ice cream every visit it would DEFINITELY keep me in the park longer.  
 

This might also have the effect of cutting down on the number of guests who use the all season dining plan a little too excessively. Maybe not. But people who value a good value could be tempted by a lower price point when buying their passes. 
 

I love this for the park!  Great move that will certainly pay off.

Does anyone know if the Blue Ice cream and funnel cakes are *included* in the premium all day dining option for a single day?

Nope. Auntie Ann regular pretzels , Meteor canteen fries , jukebox onion rings, Hanks chips and salsa or churros, popcorn, cotton candy, small dippin' dots, and French Corner has different desserts.

None of those seem appealing to me except the Auntie Ann’s pretzel. But I have to admit, if they had a season long option I’d probably go for it just for that. 

[Klinktown]

Thanks all. I called them today as well. No Blue ice cream. No funnel cakes.

Side note. They play Star Wars music while you are on hold. They should play KI music in my opinion.
