arby Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) ^That's where Google comes in handy. BTW, I was saying this with humor intended. It is a joke we use at work - IT humor... Edited September 10, 2013 by arby
cfc Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Yes, birch beer is just a very nice version of root beer--good stuff.
RaptorBoyASU Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 We will definitely go with another food option the next time we visit. We lost at least one full hour standing in line and eating Cesari's and being that we didn't arrive at the park until 6:00 PM (yes, we had planned on arriving earlier), we lost valuable ride time waiting for (& eating) mediocre pizza slices. And that was around 8:30 at night so I couldn't even imagine what the wait must have been like between 5-7 PM!?! This is why I always avoid Cesari's at PPP. I really like the pizza, WHEN they're not busy. It seems when they get busy, they pull the pies early, and the crust is soggy, and the cheese barely melted.
Philrad71 Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 ^One thing that was kind of a bummer was that my partner ordered two slices and they gave them to him stacked one on top of another. So when he removed the one, the cheese stuck to the bottom of the top plate. He was going to take it back, but didn't want to have to wait another 30 minutes for a new slice!
cal1br3tto Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Not really a fan of Cesari's, though at least it isn't some variety of (sub)standard cafeteria pizza. Can't believe I forgot to get birch beer the last time I was at Knoebels. I thought I didn't like root beer until I tried birch beer and realized that the two are much alike.
Josh Linn Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I live in the area (Big Ben's is locally made), and I've never liked birch beer.
Ccron10 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Cesari's Pizza never really surprised me until I had the white broccoli. My god, it was good! I also had the BBQ Chicken, which was extremely saucy and wasn't too good. About the white birch beer, it's not really something exclusive to Knoebels. Hersheypark sells it at the Spring Creek Smokehouse. It tastes good, but is extremely annoying to fill up as it is very bubbly.
Athletekim Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 My mom has gotten pizza from Cesari's and said that it was similar to what we usually have at home and that it wasn't worth the 20 minute wait. Usually I go to the International food court to get a meal. I switch between Kielbasa, Alligator bites, potato cakes, or a quesadilla. I have never had the problem at the food court except for deciding what I want to eat because of all the options.
Philrad71 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 ^^I had one slice of pepperoni and one BBQ chicken pizza and agree that the BBQ was a bit too saucy for my tastes. ^ I will definitely be hitting up the International food court the next time we go there. We debated on going there and decided to go with Cesari's - big mistake.
cal1br3tto Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Too bad the BBQ pizza is underwhelming...I'm still reminiscing about the surprisingly good BBQ slices at, um, John's Incredible Pizza the other day. Will be back for more of that...
Mrlittle Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Just saw this on Knoebels Facebook and thought it was funny.(even if the song is a little annoying now) They always seem to have fun with the videos. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
alilstronger Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 ^ That was cute. I am going to miss Knoebels if I move to Texas this winter.
Meteornotes Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Already looking forward to next season. Really going to try and get there for opening day next year... dt
jray21 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I think that Knoebels does a very good job with standard "park" food, and I enjoy hitting some of the more unusual items at the food stands. But I think the Golden Ticket Awards need two categories now: one for "park" food and another for "dining." It really is silly that Epcot loses out in the "food" category to parks like Knoebels. But let me reiterate that I do enjoy eating my way around Knoebels--it just can't compare to dinner and lunch at Epcot (particularly in the World Showcase). Totally agree. The food is really good for park food, and they have one of the best varieties of food around. That being said, I would pick Epcot over other parks food.
DirkFunk Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Flying Turns apparently has been certified and spent today cycling private guests of the park. The long national nightmare is over, peeps. Probably as soon as tomorrow, Flying Turns is open to the public.
larrygator Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Well I hope all goes well and it is still running next year.
robbalvey Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 Well I hope all goes well and it is still running next year. Agreed. Otherwise it will be time to revive that "biggest coaster fail since Son Of Beast" thread! Seriously, though, I hope all goes well and it's a huge success for the park.
Ccron10 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Flying Turns apparently has been certified and spent today cycling private guests of the park. The long national nightmare is over, peeps. Probably as soon as tomorrow, Flying Turns is open to the public. If it does indeed open this weekend, I'll have to see about making a special trip to check it out next weekend since I have off (would rather be at BGW and KD instead of ACEr Fest this year). I was starting to wonder if anyone has heard of it possibly opening this weekend. Hoping for the best!
Meteornotes Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Wow, the day is finally here. Hope they have a good weekend with the ride. I won't make it out there again this year, but at least I have a somewhat close to me new credit for 2014! dt
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 In other news, Hell has been experiencing record low temperatures. Forecasts show Hell may be freezing over...
Defcon62 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Just in time for PPP! Someone HAS to post a pic of the line, I expect it to start somewhere in the parking lot.
cfc Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 "A blessing! A blessing from the Lord!" "God be praised!"
sspaz1000 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I'm braving the crowds this weekend. I was going anyway to see some friends who I haven't seen all year, but I'm guessing the line will be a few hours long just like Black Diamond was when they opened that during PPP a couple years ago.
LawlessBagel Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I'll be there all weekend...heading up tomorrow afternoon. I'm excited to finally ride it.
grinch1313 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 "A blessing! A blessing from the Lord!" "God be praised!" This was just too good to pass up quoting. I'm looking forward to next year's trip to Knoebels and hopefully finally getting to ride it.
