Kings Island 2026 Food Reviews and Discussion

[brenthodge]

I hold to my theory that the food at KI looks better without the annoying paper and portion cups.

I think the liners are good for particularly soggy foods or foods that stick to the plates (cough LaRosa's pizza cough), but they definitely aren't needed for everything.

 

Speaking of food that doesn't need a liner: Does anyone know what all comes on the Patty Melt at Jukebox Diner? I've been wanting to try one but I don't mess with onions. It would be nice if there was a list of ingredients somewhere. They've had descriptions like "A hamburger patty sandwiched between two slices of wheat toast with onions and American cheese." before, but now they seem to have been largely removed from the digital menu boards.

 

While I'm here, here are a few fun KI food-related photos I've seen recently:

(Photo: CoasterBob62) This was a screenshot from one of CoasterBob's Halloween Haunt videos. I believe it's a peek into the Wings restaurant (Miami River Brewhouse) circa 2006 or 2008-ish. It has a lot of fun Halloween decorations and shows how the building looked before it evolved toward the Brewhouse. I like the chandelier over above the jut-out of the wall.

This is what the order screen looks like for Auntie Anne's mobile ordering — which is not yet available to use. I'll be curious to find out if I can get my Drink Plan refill with my food via mobile ordering. If not, that feels like it'll be less enticing considering I'd have to find somewhere to get it separately.

(Photo: AmusementInsiders) This isn't Kings Island, but rather a new water station at Canada's Wonderland. I'd love to see some of these come to KI. The bottle filler would be especially useful if they put a water cup dispenser next to it.

How often would the cup dispensers be stocked? Would it be like the ice in the freestyles where mid day they're hard to find?
