I want to clarify by saying, I myself have yet to have a bad KI food experience to where I can't finish what I eat. I've enjoyed everything I've had at KI. However, I will say the food isn't as good as it was under Chef Major and over the last few years, I have seen numerous complaints about food being undercooked, food being left out under the lamp too long, food being overcooked, among other things that really take away from the guest experience. While some of that stuff is at the fault of the food employees, the fact it continues to happen despite all the complaints comes down to training/management which falls on the executive chef. Things like portion sizes, no ice in the machines, watered down drinks, machines being out of drinks is a budget thing while things like properly preparing, cooking, and/or storing food has nothing to do with budget. That's a management/training issue.

It's sad to see any park close. It's also not tremendously surprising to see this park close. ArieForce One was an expensive and very sudden change in direction for a park that, by all counts, was an arcade with a few flat rides, a kiddie coaster, and a Miler adult coaster. The warning signs were there with the number of enthusiasts reporting that they received zen rides on AFO. I personally also see this as an example of why "just give [small park] a chance with an addition, the crowds will show up if [chain] would admit it's their turn for a new coaster" is not sound business logic, and I wish many enthusiasts would digest this news as such. It doesn't matter how many years it's been since a park received a coaster, that expansion will become a loss and maybe take the park down with it if it doesn't sell tickets. Roller coaster additions do not work in real life the way they do in RollerCoaster Tycoon. Fun Spot Atlanta existed for 30 years before Fun Spot purchased it. Surely Fun Spot will either move AFO (to Orlando, I presume, because the Kissimmee park seems pretty landlocked) or sell it. It's probably got decent enough capacity for a mid-size park. If Enchanted Parks has the money, it wouldn't be a bad purchase.
