prozach626 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I thought you were beating a dead horse with the haiku, but that one got me! I'm not much of a craft beer/microbrewery beer drinker anymore, but that looks damned good. It might be heavy though, so it's probably a kickoff beer, before switching to piss water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I can confirm that the Giga coaster beer is absolute piss if that's more your speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankeykang Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I'm actually not sure how I feel about this... I mean yeah, I'm sure it'll taste good, but taking a product clearly targeted for children and turning it into an adult beverage just doesn't seem right... A four-pack for $12.99 is a bargain, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Haiku is good I feel very "Japanese" And want some sake' ^ So don't drink it, then. And puh-lease. Every kids' fave candy and theme park snack has been (eventually) turned into something "adult," IMhO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is their standard grilled cheese awesome, their grilled cheese burger is quite good and their "fried mac & cheese on a grilled cheese" is incredible. The mac & cheese side is also pretty damned good, and they're a full service bar so you can get your drink on too. Tom + Chee thankfully is on the meal plan at KI (but sadly only the standard offerings). Their most awesome, the grilled cheese donut, is not. Miami River Brewhouse is also a great food option at KI, and has the bonus of being a full service bar as well. Them, and Tom + Chee, are why I always get the all-day dining plan at KI. Just don't bother trying the pizza, neither from the one near Beast, the one in the Festhaus, nor the one on international street - it is all disgusting. The breadsticks are pretty good though. I wasn't really casting dispersions on Melt. My Dad and Son both had a great dishes there. I think for me it was a rare case of just ordering the wrong thing. I am totally willing to try it again. Unfortunately the couple of times I have tried to eat at MRB it always had a super long line and I can't drink at theme parks. Will get in one of these days.

If you are, this is exactly why we can't have anything fun anymore. I don't see anywhere this is marketed toward children. I'm positive there isn't an age limit to ice cream. I think I've even seen my 80 year old in laws eating it, as bizarre as that sounds. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zand Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Planning an Ohio trip the Sunday-Wednesday surrounding Memorial Day. The bare bones plan is to fly into Detroit Sunday morning (it's way cheaper than Cleveland or Cincy), spend the rest of Sunday and all of Monday at KI, then Tuesday and Wednesday at CP. The absolutely insane plan is to potentially add in a Tigers game Sunday, Reds game Monday, Indians game Tuesday, and Football HOF visit Tuesday or Wednesday. Feel like I won't end up doing most of that, but the final result will hopefully include at least the Reds game. Enough baseball... My biggest question is how insane does KI get on Memorial Day weekend? Should I budget for FP+? I like to reride things to a point, but dont necessarily need 10 laps on everything. I would have the patience to wait about an hour a couple times for things like Orion, DB, MT, and Banshee but if the lines are likely to be much longer then I would want to get FP+. I'll have a half day on Sunday and a good chunk of Monday (minus 5 hours if I leave to go to the Reds game, which is at 1:00) so should have a combined 12 hours for the park. Been trying to sift through the beer and food recommendations from the last few pages and pretty excited to check out all these choices. Can anyone sum up a couple must-haves for food and beer? Sounds like Ohio is pretty much restriction-free now. Are all the rides back to full capacity? SFNE looks to be stuck in the stone ages of July 2020 with 1/2 full trains so the biggest reason for planning this trip is that hopefully no painfully slow lines will be present. Super pumped to hopefully get back to KI. Last time I was there was 14 years ago, when the only things to look forward to were Beast and maybe Flight of Fear and otherwise got to experience meh stuff like Vortex, Son of Beast (wasn't THAT bad post loop), Invertigo, and Firehawk. This place has some so far since I've been there and I've seen multiple people declare it to be a more fun park than CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 - Budget for Fastlane Plus. - Go the Miami River Brewhouse and get the Giga Coaster beer, sit on the back deck. If they still have the pretzel with beer cheese, get that - The rides are back to full capacity. Masks are not required anywhere except for indoors or if you're somewhere where you can social distance but everything is always subject to change from day-to-day.

Kstr737 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Yeah get a fastlane, ride the Beast Orion and Mystic Timbers a few times then go to three baseball games. (I say this as a dude whose been to all 30 ...err 29 ballparks. & heading to Arlington next week and maybe will stop at Over Texas. Those 3 parks are top 10. There's something about the midwest and baseball... I guess roller coasters too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDC just (like in the last hour) announced those vaccinated don't need masks indoors OR outdoors. so I expect new guidelines from the park prior to the upcoming Holiday weekend.

prozach626 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I wonder how they'll enforce the vaccination standards. Hand stamps or wrist bands??? I wouldn't be surprised if the parks will keep the policies as already announced this year, since most of them have lightened up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tndank Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'm guessing they put up a sign and call it a day on masks as far they are concerned. Might not happen this week but soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something about the midwest and baseball... I guess roller coasters too.) Haha probably not going with the fully ambitious plan. Like I said, if I get to any it'll be Cincy. I'm in Cleveland/CP almost annually so I can go to the Indians (or after this year, the Cleveland Politically Correct Baseball Team) and Football HOF on one of those trips. Went to the Rock Hall a couple years ago which was pretty cool, but not something I really need to go back to. And then Detroit/Comerica Park I honestly don't care as much about. Always heard good things about Great American Ballpark and I don't get to Cincy nearly as often, so that's the priority game of the three. Will try to get to Skyline Chili while I'm in town too. I've done a Knoebels/CP/Kennywood/Hershey trip 4 times now and have always planned it around the Pirates being at home. I've been to PNC more times than Fenway in the last 10 years. Even stopped in Altoona two of those times for a Curve game, which is also a really nice AA park. Now to figure out how to get a 4 day car rental for less than $400...

Hertz is showing me rentals starting at $99 a day before fees from Detroit Airport on the days you're going. Sadly another tragedy of the COVID shutdowns were rental car companies selling off large portions of their fleet, and now that more people are traveling, demand is outstripping supply.

Got a refundable reservation through Hertz for $400. That will probably be the lowest I can find. Also booked the flight this morning...dirt cheap to Detroit on JetBlue for some reason. Can't complain about that. See you in 16 days, Orion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenway (this should be higher but I’m a Yankees fan) 9. Great American 10. Coors Skyline is legit. You have your priorities in order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedar Fair, if you're listening, I've got a great idea to make some more money: Fast Lane for restaurants. Make it happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
