As we all know, Micheal (King) Koontz was one of the most influential Park Presidents in KI’s over 50 year history. He felt like the dad of the park, taking care of the rides, the guests, and the team.

In a way to honor his legacy I propose that they build a bar in his honor, with a neon sign, simply called: Mike’s.

This would be a no frills kind of place, ice cold coors served with cheese curds and wings, wooden paneling, the waft of cigarette smoke. TVs playing all of Mike’s favorite sports teams. Photos of Mike and other park legends on the wall. This would be a place for the tru KI Fans to relax, rewind, recharge, and most importantly, reflect. Reflect on the legacy of Micheal, and look forward to the future that we can shape. 
 

I think it should go in Action Zone, where the Banshee Ice Cream place is now. Imagine a giant neon margarita but it says Mike’s over it in hot pink, (yeah you can see it, I know you can I see you reading this), it would fit into Action Zone.

What do you think or Mike’s Bar and Grille? Or Mike’s Dive? (Name is still tbd) Let’s use this thread as a place to discuss, create, and curate new ideas. 

Throw in some spicy peanuts and I’m in. 

How it would feel at Mikes

I would pound so many light beers and hurricanes here before riding like the Delirium or something

Maybe have different drinks named for different park legends.

WOULD YOU DRINK A DON’s DAIQUIRI?
