A buffet wouldn't work at PKI. they coudl enver charge enough to make money, because lots of people would eat tons of food. Having a sit down restaurant would be nice though, however, people aren't gonna pay the high food prices in the park for that restaurant, when they can leave, drive 1/2 mile up the road, and pay normal prices. I don;t think PKI will put in a restaurant like that, just for that reason.

Just what I said.

Actually Cedar Point has a buffet right on the main midway. So obviously they make money. Also, people that come for a day don't want the hastle of leaving and coming back.

Buffetts may work technicly but this one is really just a matter of Opinion.

i think if you leave you would have to pay to park when you get back

No mercy from the dreaded parking Nazis.

Here's the other that runs in coherts with the other.

I see SDatHC leavin ;P

To rotag: you must be a genie LOL I didn't see that one comeing

Hmm...

1. SoB.

2. The Crypt's show building

3. Action Theater (sadly...)

4. Festhaus

5. International Restaurant building

To coaster kid: the comment or the ride?

i am going to go on a limb and say that the park of 2010 will be vastly different than that of 2009.

I will place my voice to:

Son of Beast being removed

Flight Deck being removed or significantly altered.

Overhaul or removal of the Crypt

I see FD leavin, but not within the next 2 years.

5. International Restaurant building

You do know that's also the entrance building, right?

LOL!

4. Festhaus

I really have never even considered Festhaus leaving. Its the largest restaurant in the park, and it's always busy. With it's removal, though, Octoberfest would be "big" again, and would have enough room for quite a few more rides.

well Son of Beast is the largest roller coaster in the park, (amount of building material) and always has a long line, so if we go by this, if we're lucky, it will stay.

i'm back!!!!!!!! lol

5. International Restaurant building

What?

Edit: Nevermind. Someone already replied to that.

Festhaus I could see leaving. That building takes up alot of space and it could be easily replaced with a smaller building and some nice sized flat rides could go there.

The ET will never leave the park unless it is forced by a natural distar.

I doubt they'll tear down any building. They are expensive and always have an alternative use. Even if Crypt leaves, look for it's building to be used for something.

5. International Restaurant building

Yes. I could easily see them removing it- or even changing the existing one- to give it a less dated look.

The only thing I can think of that would make the building less "dated" would be building a oversized IPod in it's place.

Something more beautiful, like Geauga Lake's would be wonderful.

The Festaus never hurt anyone lol

The Festhaus I think will never leave, I mean, the actual building itself. They may use it for something different soon though.

Edit: I just realized this was first added in 2003! The first post said "Magella's Grill" and I was thinking....what? And it says PKI

That made me laugh.

Since CF doesn't care about theming, I have a feeling it could end up as a ride location eventually.

Festhaus is the largest restaurant at Kings Island. In taking it away, Cedar Fair would either have to build another similar place, or just let guests deal with longer food lines all over the park.

We already have a LaRosa's, and Panda Express could easily be relocated somewhere else in the park. (A certain building by Vortex comes to mind...)

Yes, but the Festhaus building is large enough to comfortably deal with any crowds on any day. These other buildings are smaller, thus have less seating... also isn't Festhaus King's Island's required tornado shelter?

Kings Island has many other tornado shelters, too...

Ok, I've always imagined, in case of a tornado, everyone in the park being packed into Festhaus...
