The Interpreter Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 And then there are those of us who drank only diet when drinking soda...and our dentists advised us we would have far, far fewer calories if we didn't drink sodas, of any kind. Many other dentists agree. Carbonated beverages are highly acidic, and the acid attacks the tooth enamel. Quote
iChase Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Is Powerade considered a Coke product? I would say yes since it's owned by Coke. My guess is as long as it's fountain then it counts. I may be wrong though. Quote
WooferBearATL Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I'm wondering how long it will be until there is a campaign to ban or limit consumption of soft drinks? 1 Quote

WooferBearATL Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Well, we kinda knew it would not stop with smoking laws. Scary that there are so many folk that feel they know how others should lead their lives. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 The unlimted drink wristbands only work for fountain drinks. Quote
Kawana Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Anyway, I partook in this awesome deal on the 11th and my only complaint is my own fault. I didn't mix in any water and I was just crushing Diet Coke all day. I think I had 4 by noon. Needless to say I was feeling not so well later in the day. It's a good deal though, and I love that you don't have to tote around a cup all day. EDIT*** When I got the wristband the somewhat bewildered cashier didn't check to make sure I was a passholder (which I am) which is not a big deal to me. I think everyone should be able to buy a wristband, but if it's meant to be for passholders only, there needs to be some consistency involved. Quote

Jasper Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I will definately try this out next visit. I am not a big Coke fan but what can i say 6.99, unlimited drinks? Awesome deal. Quote

Phantom Theater Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 When I go on wednesday im getting this!My dad doesnt let me drink one bit of pop.Thats ok, but I want some from time to time,but no,he wont let me.So yeah im going to use this alot! Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Don't hold your breath. The liability reasons alone would scare the tar out of any responsible company. Ever hear of the Dram Shop Acts? Basically, you serve someone alcohol, they become intoxicated and run someone down on the way home...guess who can also be held responsible? Quote
MrPostman Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Update: 7-15-08 trip 2 adults, 2 children, 1 all-you-can-drink bracelet, 18 - 20 ounce drinks. Winner of a promo IMO. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I've really held my tongue, but I have a question and now I have to ask it. If the park is selling all you can drink bracelets to ONE person, why is sharing that deal with others not stealing? Why would you ever think this is okay? Much less boast about it.... Why is this different than: * sneaking food out of an all you can eat buffet? * sneaking extra people into a drive in movie without paying? * Lying about a kid's age to get them in at the kid's rate instead of the adult one? * stealing the salt and pepper shakers from a diner? * taking a family of four to Golden Corral and only paying for one person, but all eat? * taking money out of a cash register? * stealing stuff from a car? I'm sorry, but to me four people sharing an all you can drink deal is theft. Plain and simple. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 Not just the fact that it's theft, but the fact that it's jeapordizing the deal for all of us. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 And I really don't want to hear "At the prices they charge for soda, it's not stealing to share." Yes, it is. It's no different than using someone else's season pass to get in. I really, truly hope the park does catch some people doing this and prosecutes them. It would really serve the perps right. Quote

Yep, and if it happens a lot, I can see them taking away the program entirely or making it so you have to scan your pass with a photo ID to get your drinks. Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Yep. For once the park gave us a break on the prices that many of us have complained about. It's very nice that were responsive to a widely held concern. Now a few people will abuse the privilege and possibly ruin it for all of us. If they catch these individuals, they should be arrested. 1 Quote
Justin_M17 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Well...I was planning on sharing this deal with my friend tomorrow at KI.. But after reading some of the arguments on here I probably won't...you guys make good points. This is a great deal and I definitely don't want to see it taken away. Quote
Rollercoast19 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Update: 7-15-08 trip 2 adults, 2 children, 1 all-you-can-drink bracelet, 18 - 20 ounce drinks. Winner of a promo IMO. I am going to have to defend MrPostman here. I assumed that I was allowed to get multiple drinks and share them. I haven't had a chance to use this promo yet, but if I hadn't heard that it wasn't ok to share the drinks I would have done the same thing as MrPostman. I am fairly confident that MrPostman wasn't buying multiple drinks for his family so he could "steal" from the park. Maybe he just assumed the same thing. Maybe there should be another press release that specifies that the unlimited drinks are not to be shared with other people. Quote
KIBeast Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Sounds like a good idea...and I would buy one for me and the mrs. Is there a time limit on this? Example: Will the deal end sometime this summer? Or, will it be available during Halloween Haunt? Quote

Example: Will the deal end sometime this summer? Or, will it be available during Halloween Haunt? Presumably it'll be ongoing... so long as people don't take advantage of it, my guess is that we'll see it continue. Quote
Avatar Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Maybe to avoid confusion they could offer single issue writ bands for the set price and a family/group wrist band deal that would be at a set price for 4 wrist bands or the first wrist band at a higher price with each additional at a lower price to cover the multitudes of family/group sizes.

cholderfield Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 i think it was mentioned before (maybe not in this topic), but just to clarify, Kings Dominion has a similar promotion going on right now, only for $4 instead of $6.99 - either way, not a bad deal! Quote
Delirium33 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I'm going tomorrow... where do you buy these wristbands? And also, I think there's a difference between sharing a drink with someone as in "yeah its hot out, you can have a sip or two" as opposed to "here I'll give you this drink and I'll go get another". The first is just being a good friend... the second is cheating the system. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 From the first post in this thread (by Ryan), the wristbands are available at: Festhaus, LaRosa's on International Street, Rivertown Pizza, Stunt Crew Grill in Action Zone, Ice Cream Zone in Action Zone, and Coney Refreshments and Outback Shack in Boomerang Bay.
