What theme park that you have visited, of course, has the best food? What makes it better over other parks? [^]

Dollywood, definitely.

What makes it different is that it is actually real food, prepared on-site, not cheap frozen drop-in-fryer, done, crap like at Cedar Point and the like. They have Philly steaks sizzling on the grills, homemade ice cream, comfort foods like conrbread and gumbo, and it's all done fresh. Now that's some darn lip-smackin' goodness, y'all!

by far the best in the UK is chessington worlds of adventure. its got a proper Irish pub with proper pub food and beer, a lot of the food about is baked potato's and salad and healthy things which is a nice change to donuts and chips.

the worst is 100% Blackpool pleasure beach. the food is terrible, its very very expensive and why would you buy there's when your free to walk in and out of the park as much as you like and there's proper chip shops waiting for much better and cheaper food.

Bush Gardens Europe is good, but expensive. Universal's Mythos is amazing, but the rest of their food is ehhh.

I didn't try any food at Dollywood, but it sure looked good.

As far as food I've eaten, Busch Gardens Europe. Nothing like walking into New France and smelling the sizzling meat cooking right in front of you.

Busch Gardens Africa has some damn good food! Not only that, they use recycled and corn-based products, so you are even helping the envornment. I just love the food there. I ate a turkey wrap, a pepsi, and a brownie sundae from there and right after that rode Kumba 5 times in a row and didn't even feel sick at all. Betcha and CF or SF park's food would...
Oh, were you expecting something here?

Chessington WoA out of the Uk parks, by a country mile! There genuinely is something for anyones tastes there, whether you're one of these skinny types or a big fat bastard like myself. From the outdoor Grill Hut and the pub with really decent food, to the baked potato bars, salad bars and pasta house type thing. Just generally, really good variety, good food, not exactly cheap, but you wouldn't expect it to be, at a theme park.

Probably the worst park I've ever been to in terms of food though, is SFGAdv., I can imagine the other SixFlags parks being the same. If you're not fat, or don't harbour ambitions of being fat, there really didn't seem to be anything for you, My Missus had a realy problem with it. Not to mention the food was American anyway, i.e. hot dogs use frankfurter sausages, which are the single worst tasting sausage ever invented. Nasty things.

Knott's has the best fried chicken I've ever had, at their restaurant which technically isn't in the park. I generally avoid eating in the parks I frequent as they tend to be expensive and disappointing, and there are often much better options just outside. Like why eat in Disneyland or DCA when the restaurants in the Grand Californian or at Downtown Disney are much better, and the rest of Los Angeles is just a cab ride away?
Be sure you're not looking in a mirror before you start pointing fingers.

holy crap, if you've been to the animal kingdom at disney, the food there was SO GOOD!
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

What we bought in the cooler that waits in the car for us. Usually sandwiches.

If any one here says Six Flags im going to throw a bucket of kitty litter at you. Six Flags gets there food from Cysco & Ben E Kieth, it comes partialy prepared and frozen. Its hastely prepared by tossing in in a deep fryer for a couple minutes and slapping it on a plate for you. All the parks have generaly the same tasting food, it just depends on what distributer it comes from.


I had a damn good meal at Kentucky Kingdom, though it was catered, not from a restaurant. We had fettuccine alfredo, lasagna, garlic bread, caeser salad, and they had a few different cakes and other desert stuff. I didn't have that much, but what I did have was better than anything I've had at like Olive Garden and places like that.

As far as in park food, I don't eat that much when I'm at parks. I remember Trappers Smoke House at BGE was pretty good (and the best smelling building in the world), and Kennywood's food is good though I only tried one place. Indiana Beach has good tacos too.
