World’s Best Competitive Eaters Battle for Kings Island Skyline Chili Spaghetti Eating Championship

World Record and $5,000 in Cash Prizes at-stake Labor Day at Kings Island

Kings Island, Ohio – The greatest competitive eaters on the planet will gather at Kings Island on Labor Day (September 1) to battle for the first-ever Kings Island Skyline Chili Spaghetti Eating Championship. Major League Eaters, an increasingly celebrated breed of American athlete, will test their jaw strength and stomach capacity in a bid for the chili spaghetti eating world record and $5,000 in cash prizes.

The contest will feature the greatest gurgitator alive today, Joey “Jaws” Chestnut of San Jose, CA, who catapulted to international fame after defeating Japanese eating legend Takeru Kobayashi at the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. Chestnut will face off against fifth-ranked “Humble” Bob Shoudt, who last year ate 95 burgers in eight minutes and recently upset Joey in a rib-eating contest. Challenging both eaters will be 13th-ranked potato wedge eating champ Tim “Gravy” Brown from Chicago.

Major League Eating (MLE), the world governing body of all stomach-centric sports, conducts more than 80 events annually, including the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, NY. Current MLE initiatives include MLE: The Game, now available on Nintendo Wii, and the newly formed ‘MLE Asia.’ Since last Thanksgiving, MLE has raised over $45,000 for hunger-related charities such as Second Harvest and the Food Bank for New York City. The competitive eating community, which numbers more than 8,000 veteran and rookie athletes, travels the nation in search of top titles and the glory that they provide.

The Kings Island Skyline Chili Spaghetti Eating Championship will take place at 2:00pm and is included free with park admission. Discount tickets are still available online at www.visitkingsisland.com or at any Kroger or Meijer store for just $29.99!

Personally I don't think I'll waste my time going to see a bunch of people eat (No offense intended) because it seems rather boring and it's sure to make me hungry when my better judgement tells me not to eat at KI

But, you misspelled "League" in the title

I actually tend to think that it's a nauseating concept.

I can see doing a pie eating contest at a state fair or such, but this seems to be quite close to gluttony.

Just imagine what the park would charge a regular guest for what these people will down. The mere thought is nauseating....

Or if those funds could be donated to a food bank?

Simply too many nickles to count!!
