Hendrick Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 But we don't have a blue roller coaster At least not that color blue. There must be a repaint coming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastrider97 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Something else I noticed. They are painting Snowy River Rampage! One of the most underrated slides I've been on, seems to finally be getting some love! On topic, I love the cup design. Great that the park is officially commemorating the anniversary.

savesonofbeastfb Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 I like what the park is doing by painting most of the old Boomerang Bay water rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrick Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The track itself is turquoises. The supports are that royal blue that is featured on the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savesonofbeastfb Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 I think they just wanted to use a blue coaster track because the cup itself is blue. Unless they are hinting something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOF1996 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I really like these cups, and like you, maybe they are hinting at something? Maybe a new coaster for 2013? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thouht the snowy river ride was kind of dull. I used to like it when I was kid but it doesn't seem like it goes up high enough on the turns anymore.

TombRaiderFTW Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hey guys, I just heard they're going to retrack Son of Beast with a steel blue track for 2013! I don't usually get that excited about the souvenier cups each season, but this one looks really nice. Might have to pick one up sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarPointer Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I hate the tall cups with the fire of 1,000 suns. They are impossible to get under the drink machine properly. I dearly miss the old Diamondback cups. I won't miss the creepy face in the clouds of the WindSeeker cups, though. I had been around those for weeks before I noticed that face.

standbyme Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I love that there is going to be a 40th Anniversary cup, and I like the design...but I am not a fan of that style of cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME that they're NOT hinting at FUTURE plans in the DESIGN OF A COLLECTIBLE CUP!? GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR LOGIC! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I know why the coaster is blue. They secretly repainted Flight of Fear blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Very cool looking cup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I bet that everything but the Kings Island 40th logo is generic and will be on all Cedar Fair cups this season. They'll just put the Cedar Point logo on there, and so on and so forth. Blue coasters and fireworks everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Actually, I'll bet that they recycle the leftover WindSeeker cups from last year and use them at Carowinds and Kings Dominion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The WS cups said KI on the front and it was molded into the back plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Good point, but after taking a closer look at my two WindSeeker cups (one each from KI and CP), I notice that the CP one just has an image of the ride itself plus the name molded into it. So they could recycle those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The most important question would be the drink capacity. Is it 20 oz, 24 oz, 32 oz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Last year's WindSeeker cup was 46 oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I think it's 44. I think this is the cup they use: http://whirleydrinkw...UB&cat=cw&sub=s . Diamondback cups were 46oz IIRC. Paramount ones seemed to usually be 32oz. (WHY do I still know this stuff?! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 When I first worked food service, a small soda was 10 ounces and cost a dime. A large was 16 ounces and was 15 cents. A. I'm old. (a 6 and a half ounce returnable bottle of Coke was also a dime, plus a 2 cent deposit). B. Why do *I* still know this stuff, 40 years later? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 According to a new post on their Facebook page, the 40th anniversary cup will be sold in both ocean blue and silver, but there will only be a limited quantity available. There will also be a Soak City cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
