The 2007 Kings Island Meal Deal set off a trend to offer guests an exclusive dining option paired with a ticket, or a stand alone meal for those with season passes.

2007 BACKYARD BBQ – Enjoy a full days admission along with a delicious picnic lunch for $49.95 per adult and $31.95 per child. (Regular adult admission only is $44.95.) Refreshments and food are served from 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. The all-you-can-eat buffet meal includes southern fried chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans, potato salad, soft drinks and ice cream for dessert.

For guests with a season pass, they could purchase a stand alone meal ticket for $12.95 (adult)/$6.95 (junior). Note, at the time, Kings Island stated “adults” were ages 3-61; 48 inches tall and taller, while a “junior” was ages 3 & up; under 48″ tall / Ages 62 & up.
