Cedar Fair, are you listening?

Oddly enough, finding small snacks is easy...very easy...at Cedar Point.

Not so much at Kings Island...

I loved the vending machines in the Waiting Ques of the most crowded rides, hopefully Diamondback will have such refreshment oppertunities?

Given that such machines generate many nickels for Cedar Fair, I'd say the chances of such a thing are very high indeed....

Except that since hopefully the D-back line will be moving so quickly and frequently that by the time you've gotten the goodies from the machine your spot in line will have likely moved ahead!!

I shove king size bags of M&Ms, chewy Spree, etc. into my pockets before I walk into the park. I'm not paying $2 at the park for a regular sized bag when I can get 3 at my work for $2. The candy in the machines at CP is $1.25, but still, that's outrageous. I drive an hour to KI and 3 hours to CP, I'm spending enough in gas getting to the parks.

^^I agree...I often get envious looks from fellow queue'ers when I'm enjoying a scrumptious granola bar from my pocket, however, sadly bottled beverages like Vitamin Waters are not so portable.

They are if you have big enough pockets. I would carry things with me, but I often times find myself to not be that hungry while I'm at a park.
