coastergoblin Posted yesterday at 05:01 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:01 AM I’m curious, how would you feel about a Burger King going in the Grain and Grill spot? Seems like it could be a cool option, would add a lot of value to guests and shareholders, as well as a chance for everyone have it “your way” at Kings Island. How would you feel about a Burger King going on International Street? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted yesterday at 06:42 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:42 AM I think it's a fun idea that could also play into the "Kings" part of Kings Island, but between the two I would rather have Grain & Grill. IMO the original dining concepts are better than franchises like Chik-fil-A, Subway, and Starbucks. I will say if the park was forced to change out some of their dining options for franchises then I would be super open to getting a Burger King.

coastergoblin Posted yesterday at 05:58 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 05:58 PM 2 hours ago, BeeastFarmer said: Absolutely not. Yeah but think about how tasty it would be. Imagine this: it’s hot you’re walking down I street, major swamp *ss going on in your cargo shorts. You see to your right that beautiful burger shaped logo, and it’s like “bro I was about to leave the park for lunch but honestly they already have a BK let me hit that jaunt,” and then you go inside. A friendly BK team member greets you by saying “HERE YE HERE YE WELCOME TO BURGER KING WHAT CULINARY ADVENTURE CAN WE CRAFT FOR YOU TODAY, FIT FOR A KING!” You order a whopper, no onions because those sh¡ts are gross. It comes out to you on a black tray, and you get to consume your whopper your way while looking around at the electric atmosphere of a Burger King. Chills. Yeah but it would be pretty awesome and a great addition to the park imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted yesterday at 06:18 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:18 PM Only for people foolish enough to drop $12 for a Whopper meal that isnt worth the $7 it costs at a normal BK. Nah, take that idea down the street. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastergoblin Posted yesterday at 06:38 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 06:38 PM My stomach is grumbling at the thought of onion rings at KI. Mmmmm tasty! Also imagine wearing those crowns at the park? It would probably be good publicity, they could take photos of guests wearing them and be like “yo check out these kings” or something like that.

Diamondback_Is_King Posted yesterday at 08:57 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:57 PM I don't see it fitting. It's called International Street. Picture this: you're walking down the street and you see different country's flags, you see G&G, the French Corner, LaRosa's, and...Burger King. Doesn't fit in well does it? Starbucks doesn't really fit well either. I don't think it's a good idea nor will they ever do it. That's just my opinion, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted yesterday at 09:02 PM Share Posted yesterday at 09:02 PM I think I will pass on the BK idea. Original recipes & creations from the chef is way better and seems to be working for them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastergoblin Posted 22 hours ago Author Share Posted 22 hours ago Letting the chef decide what we (the guests) eat does not seem in line with what we want. We want it our way, and we want to eat like Kings, with a crown atop our heads. When Gary Wachs conceptualized Kings Island, he wanted I-Street to be a celebration, a welcome, focused on flags, fountains, and fun. He stated that the cuisine needed to represent all nations, which would include America, it would be a disservice to him, THE FOUNDER, of KI to not include some grub that is patriots like. So what would that be? Burgah King (pronounce this like Peter Griffin would, family guy reference lol) YOU get to choose it your way, be a king, and get to enjoy a mother flippin custom flame grilled Whopper on I-Street. Could you imagine how magical that would be? Now imagine seeing Snoopy? Yeah, case dismissed, it would be baller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings down cost for the park, provides guests with something they like, and it’s made your way! At BK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion-XL200 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago KI/Six has been getting rid of chain restaurants in the parks. While Grain and Grille isn't the best (as KDs version) it's better than some fast food that you can get outside of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIghostguy Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago They have a Burger King at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. I saw it when I went there in 2018. I have to say, just seeing it enhanced the guest experience at that park! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
