While it has been open for 3 weeks now, Lisa and I had a chance to try the new Johnny Rockets inside the park.
EXCELLENT!!!!
This is the largest Johnny Rockets in the world, and if you check out the kitchen, they actually have two complete Johnny Rockets kitchen setups, including the fountain drinks/shakes.
During spring break, they had folks waiting due to all 260+ seats being filled.
They only allow Dine-in customers, but all the food is cooked to order (well, the shakes are made from scratch and include real ice cream, and fresh whipped cream, they don't cook those ;)
And they don't just have Hamburgers and shakes, but many sandwiches and other treats.
Here is the menu...

One thing to note, Johnny Rockets normally serves Coke, but the arrangement with Cedar Fair, L.P. allows them to serve Pepsi, since they have a contract with Pepsi.
Here is a Press Release....
