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

This addition will be very, very convenient...

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).

^ 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.

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.

Awesome. I might have to invest in a collapsible water bottle next spring.

I could definitely bring this!

Unfolded it's flat

Filled it can stand on its own!

I finally have a reason to bring this!

^ Where do you get such a witchcraft device?

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

Check out the camping section of Target or Walmart. Pretty sure I've seen them there.

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!

Well, it looks like Ed Hart was actually leading the industry in at least one area after all!

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.

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.

I'm holding off on buying a collapsible bottle specifically because I'm hoping KI will sell ones with their logo next summer.

^ 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)?

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.

I'm forwarding this address. 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.

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.

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.

There goes per cap spending on bottled water....

My college has a few of these. They're very convenient to use.

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.

I thought bottled water was about perceived purity, environmental questionability and high profits.

These look so cool. It'll be more convenient for guests.

Or sell a lot more spicy food. Hehe

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.
