Miythandria Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 While I was at the Chicken Shack, an employee offered me a deal on a drink "pass" for my souvenir cup. He said that I could pay $8. Then, he would put my bar code into the system for the day. After that, my drinks would be unlimited for the day. Has anyone else been offered this deal?

silver2005 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 There is something similar with an all day drink wristband that I had to pay $10 for. Didn't know there was one directly associated with the souvenir cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miythandria Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I didn't either. But it worked. I haven't been on here for a couple of weeks because we spent last week at Cedar Point, so I didn't know if this topic had been brought up or not. I couldn't find a thread about it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 There is something similar with an all day drink wristband that I had to pay $10 for. The thread on those is here, but that's for 20 oz drinks, not souvenir cups. I was not aware of an all-day deal for souvenir cups after the day of purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miythandria Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I was at the Chicken Shack. And it worked for the rest of today. I was hoping that someone else had been offered the same deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWAddington Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 We did this at Cedar Point and it was just over $5 after tax. One day they reactivated the bar code, the other day they put a drink band around the souvenir cup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Job 2005 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Makes me wonder why they're not trying to advertise these all-day drink offerings as much as they've advertised the new dining plans.

KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 ^Probably because they don't get a large profit off of it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 A number of offerings are in testing this year. As such, when, to whom, at what price, where...various things are offered varies. I suspect seeing how much the bands are used is part of the tests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miythandria Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I just telephone Kings Island. This is what I was told. This drink "plan" was very recently initiated. The cost is $6.99 + tax. The total would be $7.46. Although all of the vendors are supposed to be able to reset your code, not all of them know about the plan yet. She said that if you ask for the plan, and the vendor doesn't know what you're talking about, you need to tell them to call the front desk. (my thoughts) Or, to be on the safe side, just go to The Chicken Shack first. We know that they know about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Job 2005 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm going Monday and I'll ask around and see which locations are informed about the new plan and which ones aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miythandria Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 That sounds good. I hope to go on Tuesday, and I plan to buy my all-day-plan right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 $7 to reset the bar code or $1 refills. You'd have to drink a lot to come out ahead... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Unless you are large pop drinker.... Are there Powerade/Gatorade fountains? I forgot which one is a Coke product....

BoddaH1994 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Poweraide is, and yeah they have it at most locations. The blue variety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Why should the consumer have to tell the merchant to call the front desk? Why can't the front desk tell everyone beforehand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miythandria Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 I often go to Kings Island with several of my children. We often share the drinks in the drink cups. Also, I will sometimes only drink half before I throw the drink away. On a hot day, the ice melts so fast that it gets watered-down quite quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 No thanks I'm not going to get that many refills to make it worth my while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of the refillable up (great deal, I just don't like to carry it around) but I do have one. Have you noticed how Coke is particularly delicious out of it? I do agree that the ice melts and it makes it too watered down, but you get about 10 minutes of bliss. Of course, I'm weird when it comes to soft drinks... Fountain: Coke Classic only 20 oz bottle: Diet Pepsi or Coke Zero 2 liter : Diet Coke For some reason the container makes a big difference for me. I can't do Coke Zero from a fountain. It's undrinkable for me... but out of a 20oz it's my favorite. On the other hand, Coke Classic is way to sticky for me when in 20oz form, but has a bolder flavor than Diet from a fountain. Am I alone on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I also think Coke Zero is nearly undrinkable from the fountain. I love it in cans, so much so that Cherry Coke Zero was what finally got me to entirely give up sugared soft drinks. I was ok with diet fruit-flavored sodas, but diet cola just tasted nasty to me, so I occasionally would still drink Coca-Cola Classic. Once I found the Cherry Zero I switched to it. I was so excited the first time I saw Zero instead of Diet at a fountain, until I tasted it. I don't mind diet colas from the fountain these days. I refuse to get Zero from a fountain again though, it just tastes awful. I haven't noticed much difference between 20 oz bottles or cans. It is rare I get 20 oz bottles though. I've become so used to diet and Zero drinks at this point that regular corn syrup or sugar soda tastes weird to me, whether in cans, bottles, or from the fountain.

The Interpreter Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I miss returnable bottles. Particularly the 6.5 ounce Coca-Cola returnables. yes, they tasted different. Very different. Sweeter, stronger. 7 oz. bottles of 7Up. Hospitals served them. Then again, 7Up had lithium in it til 1950. My parents would have been overjoyed had that been available when I was a kid. So fascinating (it gets MUCH better after the intro--note the come on down to the plant invitation): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Glass, yes. Returnables, no. And it tasted very different in them. Even the Mexican Coke served in glass is not the same. Not even close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Job 2005 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Ehhh I prefer Gatorade but that leads me back to the whole Pepsi products thing.

The Interpreter Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Just a few short years ago, most said you won't ever see Coca-Cola at Cedar Point. Things change...sometimes quite rapidly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
