In a hanging on a slither of hope for OzCat one day, I was reading where the Ed Hart led group said it would take 1 Million to get Thunder Run up and running. It went dormant longer ago and likely in much worse shape with Six Flags gasping for air at the time than Herschend shut OzCat in.

Looks really good, I asked if these would be offered at their new Pizza place that is being built. I am assuming they will be. Curious to see if or how they respond. 9 times out of 10 they have responded to me on facebook.  :)
You have a great past just ahead of you.

sanddunerider

yes, see if they answer that question dollar...

Since the pizza place is not general knowledge yet...  Is it? 

Or did I miss the official announcement..?

MissinTheGreenTrams

That was my thought. I told my husband look garlic knots,,,,,I bet they will be offered at the pizza place!!!
The smell of asphalt and butane says home!

We must all have seen this at the same time.  I thought about the pizza place, too.  And, something w/o cheese that I could eat there - garlic knots.  No lactose (dairy) for me = sadness.

Makes me wonder. How well does SDC do at meeting dietary needs? I've never paid any attention. Do they do a good job at feeding our vegan, gluten free, lactose free, etc. friends?

Yes, they have an array of special food for all dietary needs. As a foods employee for many years, I can remember getting the list of all the food locations that had these special options. I even made quite a few veggie Philly Cheese Steaks during OTC. Mushrooms as the base, onions, red and green peppers, and the cheese if they were the type of vegetarian that did not mind the dairy.

Someone replied to the FB post that it would be at Crossroads Pizza, near OR.

My wife is a vegetarian and she has several options while at the park. Granted, the potato bowl is her favorite!

I can't comment on vegan, but gluten and lactose free?  Meh...not so great.  A couple of years ago, all they had listed for gluten free were potato chips, turkey legs, and vegees at Molly's and the Mine Restaurant.  They are doing somewhat better.  They had lactose free ice cream at Aunt Polly's - I hope they move it somewhere else.  The vegees have to be considered carefully - I'm sure some of them are cooked with butter.  And gluten free?  Yikes!  Unless you want meat, your choices are limited.

There's so much they could do for very little.  Such as..sell individual serving size containers of soy milk, prepackaged rice krispie treats, gluten free cookies and snacks.  They have a decent shelf life, so I don't think they would get wasted.  Peanut butter cookies could be made w/o flour easily.  I think visitors besides those that are gluten intolerant would purchase them because they are so good!  Sell lactose free ice cream at the same stand as apple dumplings!  Yes!!!

Employees aren't that aware of dietary needs.  I've asked at many different locations if they could tell me about the food being served, and I haven't yet have anyone be able to answer me. I asked simple questions, such as - "Was flour used in the soup to thicken it, is the barbeque sauce made with gluten, butter added to the vegees?  This information should be available at every food vendor.
