If it's closed, you can check the dry park. There are also several locations outside the park that serve the flavor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YuYuYuuki Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Blue Ice Cream (which was Smurf Ice Cream when I went) tasted badass. And I hated the Smurfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I hope they get these drink and icee stands figured out soon. Drink stands icees completely unavailable and many drinks not filled. Was told at the Rivertown drink stand that if something was out you wanted go next door to laroases.

Losantiville Mining Co. Posted June 23 Author Share Posted June 23 That begs the question of if the associates would know what to do in that situation. If someone at the refill stand says that, then the guest takes their cup to the next station, how will the LaRosa's associate know to actually let that guest get their drink? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I can’t get mad at the hourly employees for being super terrible or unknowingly bad. I blame management. They make enough money to know better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when those of us who are honest with our purchases make a scene loudly announcing the thievery taking place. If no one will hold them accountable...well...it takes a village... People have become to soft and complacent with letting others take advantage of the system. Who care's if it's a drink refill, the point is...it's still theft of something that wasn't paid for. Make an example of them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losantiville Mining Co. Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 Hmm. Another day-of/hour-of announcement. It seems like they don't want to sell as many as they could if it had been posted yesterday or earlier this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the past is any indication, it will "sell out" quickly and most of the meals will be redeemed via the meal plans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 ^This right there. As long as it sells out, that is all they care about. As they have alluded to many times on the conference calls, they are creating a sense of urgency and Fear of Missing Out - hey better be at KI in the event they do any day of special events.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called to confirm they would sell it Sunday and went at 4 PM and daughter and I got one and it was good!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CartersCoasters Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Has anybody tried the specialty milkshakes at Ralph's (adjacent to Jukebox), if so what flavor was it and were they good? I'm thinking about trying one soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) So, the pop-up ads around the park are now advertising an "Xtra Sour Powerade" ICEE that is "available at ICEE locations throughout the park"... but it is not actually available anywhere (not that the ICEE machines would be functional anyway). Oops! Edit: They actually have it now, at the place next to Chicken Shack. Edited July 11 by CedarPointer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about trying one soon. I've heard good things about them, but I haven't tried one myself. I think they have standard flavors like vanilla and chocolate. They might also have some specialty flavors (like blue ice cream), though I can't find if they have that this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losantiville Mining Co. Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 The funnel fries and chimichanga looked really good! I'm tempted to split one amongst my group on my next visit. If not, it'll at least be something for me to try to make at home 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losantiville Mining Co. Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Update from my visit on Sunday: we tried to see if anywhere was starting to get the smaller drink plan cups and did not find any smaller cups. One member of my group thought the cups did look smaller at the Brewhouse, but it felt exactly the same as it always has. Interestingly enough, the receipt "price" for the dining and drink plans have changed again. It is now $12.00 (formerly $11.00) per meal, and $2.25 (formerly $2.50) per drink. This will affect the final pricing breakdowns on my dining plan tracker, but I'm more worried about the listed prices on each menu for that more than the technical price. The receipts at Miami River Brewhouse still say "King's Island", FYI. So far, my meal plan has "saved" us $46.17 (13 meals with a price per meal of $12.69). The drink plan has "saved" us $22.01 (23 drinks with a price per drink of $2.48). My meal (a Pub Burger) was pretty middle of the road, but I think my mood for the day in general brought the vibes down enough to affect what I thought about it. Between that and the cup questions, my meal was a 3.5/5 Stars. The soda machines need to be reconfigured within the Brewhouse as well if they are going to keep the "free refill" concept going in there. I think that would be a good policy to keep since it is the only regular dining location in the park where the food is brought out to the guests by servers, but in that case, the machines need to be moved. If there aren't supposed to be free refills then the park needs to install a gate and activator pressure plate to make sure guests go back through the line to get a new drink each time. So far my overall 2025 Dining Plan meal rankings still sit at 4/5 Stars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
