BoddaH1994 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Similar to Kentucky Kingdom. I like this a lot. I prefer to drink water at the park, and this is very environmentally friendly. Tweeted by @KIGMGreg 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 This addition will be very, very convenient... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Now I can get one Kinzel Cup (hope this gets trademarked one day, so I'll keep it capitalized) and refill it after I drink it until I get on a ride! Very convenient, no more waiting in line for water cups (at least have to wait one or two times). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 ^ Not to mention the environmental benefit of fewer Kinzel cups in the landfill. I usually ask for two without ice, finishing the first cup before I get the second. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 When I had a friend in from Orlando earlier this year, he brought a water bottle, like one you'd buy at a gas station as a drink. He had, however, been able to deflate the thin plastic and pocket it while he was riding. I wonder if that's a good 'best practice' for this. I don't want to bring a full sized refillable bottle for the same reason I don't like the souvenir cups: you have to lug them around and get a locker while riding Banshee. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Awesome. I might have to invest in a collapsible water bottle next spring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I could definitely bring this! Unfolded it's flat Filled it can stand on its own! I finally have a reason to bring this!

Creed Bratton Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I bought this one at Menards, for like $2. Bought it like 2 years ago. I'm sure they still have them. Walmart may also have some in store but you can also purchase online, have shipped to your local Walmart for no cost on shipping. http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=water+bottle+foldable&ic=16_0&Find=Find&search_constraint=0 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Check out the camping section of Target or Walmart. Pretty sure I've seen them there. [beaten by 2 minutes. Darn my O.C.D. proofreading] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 My school has started adding several of these stations, and they're a great idea. Easier than trying to use a regular drinking fountain to fill up your bottle. Hopefully other CF parks will add them too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markr Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Very convenient. Hopefully it will cut down on the number of people fainting from dehydration which seems to be common on a hot and humid day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally have a reason to bring this! Sent from the electronic piece of equipment known as the iPad using Tapatalk I saw one of these with Kentucky Kingdom branding yesterday, so they sell those inside the park there too. Perhaps they can sell them at KI. With these new fountains, it would be a convenient item, and cut down on lines at food stands from people who only want water. On another Kentucky Kingdom note, I asked for water at the pizza place next to Thunder Run yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to receive it not in a Kinzel Cup, but in one of the 32-oz Coca-Cola cups. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'm holding off on buying a collapsible bottle specifically because I'm hoping KI will sell ones with their logo next summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 ^ And compete with their own refillable Coca-Cola drink bottles, as low as $9.99 each (plus the cost of a locker each time you want to ride Banshee or Firehawk)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 ^^ and ^ If KI wanted to be REALLY good, they could combine those two and sell refillable souvenir bottles that are collapsible. Then even I would probably buy one and use it every time I come. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for one of those old lady "Collapsible cups" they tote around to take all their pills with, to be able to get a drink at the water fountains in the park without bother an employee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricsun Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 They can also be found at some of the state park stores - either the lodge or camping store. I bought mine at Lake Hope for $1.50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 This is great news! It would be cool if KI did sell the collapsible water bottles. They could sell them in various souvenir shops and could sell them in various colors and have various KI/ride logos printed on them. If that were the case, I'd probably be willing to pick one up and bring it to the park with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 There goes per cap spending on bottled water.... Probably not. Bottled water is about convenience; not everyone will be carrying a cup/bottle to fill at one of these stations. More ways to keep guests hydrated is a very good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I thought bottled water was about perceived purity, environmental questionability and high profits. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Thought I'd bump this. Several bottle fillers have been added since the first one. At this point, it would probably be easier to list the restrooms that don't have a filler than the ones that do. I am still hoping that KI is selling foldable bottles with their logo this season but I didn't spend much time in the shops last weekend to check. However, I did find some nice-sized ones at Christmas Tree Shops (the one by the Dayton Mall, specifically), for only $1 each! If you want a bottle you can roll up and carry in your cargo pocket when you aren't using it, get one (or maybe a few) now! I've had some trouble finding them in the past. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
