Alfredo Sauce with Pasta? This and More Bold New Culinary Ideas at Kings Island

King’s Island is rolling out brand-new food options for 2026, and some of the menu changes are turning heads across the theme park community! In this episode of Tower Topics, Ryan Suhr and Don Helbig break down the park’s latest culinary additions including Alfredo pasta at Grain & Grill, smoked chicken and baby back ribs at Coney Bar-B-Que, the new pimento cheese BLT at Brewhouse, and the debut of breakfast at French Corner. They also discuss the viral rollout video mishap, food quality consistency, overflowing trash cans, staffing concerns, season dining plan impacts, and what these issues mean for the overall guest experience at Kings Island. Plus, congratulations to Orion superfan Vince Oberfield on 10,000 rides, and a conversation about missed opportunities surrounding Adventure Express’s 35th anniversary and the Grand Carousel’s 100th anniversary.
