bkroz Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Anyone notice this? Greg Scheid @KIGMGREG Price drops? Yep, happening this weekend with water and pop prices around the park! Come out and enjoy the warm weather and have a drink. With many of the food and drink places having monitors now instead of price boards, they can change the prices on items much easier. But will the price of an ice-cold Coca-Cola look different on a packed Saturday with 90 degree heat waves and full humidity than it will on a cool, misty Tuesday in August? Changing the price at the drop of a hat is convenient, but for whom? Hopefully we can count on pricing integrity, but "test and adjust" isn't just a process in the attraction world!

Joncars05 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Anyone have any information of the gold/platinum pass loyalty plan Greg mentioned a couple of months back? I have been looking for a list of incentives but cant find anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 They haven't announced any more info on that yet. I'm sure we'll hear more in the coming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Anyone have any information of the gold/platinum pass loyalty plan Greg mentioned a couple of months back? I have been looking for a list of incentives but cant find anything. Funny you should bring that up, because Greg just tweeted this: Kings Island's loyalty plan being rolled out the weekend of May 19th! Stay tuned for some great news. https://twitter.com/#!/KIGMGREG/status/197859140922650625 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Appropriate in more ways (and threads) than one: After this, because of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joncars05 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Sweet! I have no idea what direction they could go with this. But I'm excited to see what they will offer. What do you all think they could/will offer with the loyalty plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I am also curious what a loyalty plan might end up being...and it's perks. (It would be too much to hope for that one of the planned "perks" would be that management would stop mocking/ridiculing some of their most loyal customers.)

Ffej Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 So what are these new lower drink prices? Anyone notice any significant drops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholderfield Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I meant to check it out yesterday, but I didn't even think to look because I tend to completely ignore vending machines for fear of them reeling me (and my dollars) in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastrider97 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The machines in the Diamondback queue were all $3.50. I believe that on Opening Day they were $4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ffej Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Oh lol I thought maybe they were going to try a new significantly lower pricing strategy for drinks....like $2.50 or something for a large fountain drink. Guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I saw the sodas in the machines by Vortex were $3.50 as well. Not sure about at the food stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Food stands (or at least Street Funnel Cakes) seemed to have a deal with $5 for all-day refills for refillable cups. Anyone else see that, or is there small print I didn't see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The smaller sized fountain drinks were about 50 cents cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Demolish The Racer, or Vortex? Build the next building with wood, or steel superstructure? Read a book about wood, or read a book about steel? Hire Joe Wood, or Sarah Steel? Here we go! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purdude86 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I agree with the sentiment of why not both. A hybrid coaster would be a great addition to the park. Just don't convert any of the ones we already have. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
