Oh wow, we are planning a trip in August, I'm hoping it'll be open in then.

If it's closed, you can check the dry park. There are also several locations outside the park that serve the flavor.

My wife sent me this, not sure if the truth behind it, but if it's accurate is the beginning of the end for my pass holder streak.

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.

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?

That just look the other way like they do with all the stealing of people sneaking thru exits to refill...

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.

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. 

I know, I know!  I sound like a Debbie downer.

If the past is any indication, it will "sell out" quickly and most of the meals will be redeemed via the meal plans.

^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....

Well  there Sunday morning and saw they had the sign for it out still.  Called to confirm they would sell it Sunday and went at 4 PM  and daughter and I got one and it was good!!!

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.

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.

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.

Funnel Cake Friday - BOGO from 5 to 8pm.

Speaking of Funnel Cake, the M&M funnel fries from Jukebox Diner is very good!

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.
