Pepsi at kings island

[Guest faceoff]

Since Pepsi is found at all Cedar Fair parks, the 2006 season should be the final

for Coke at Kings Island. When Cedar Fair bought geauga lake, Coke was out

right away and replaced by Pepsi.

[The Interpreter]

But, Paramount Parks just signed a long term contract with Coke right before the sale.

So who knows?

[Guest faceoff]

I have always heard the saying-contracts were made to be broken. That will

be interesting to see what happens.

[CoastersRZ]

Yes, Paramount Parks signed a seven year deal to serve Coke products in its five parks. It will be interesting to see if that contract is still valid after the sale to Cedar Fair. Or, we could see Coke at the former Paramount Parks for the next six years after this year. Personally, I prefer Coke over Pepsi hands down, so I hope KI will continue to serve Coke for years to come!

[The Interpreter]

Yep. There's an interesting clue in this article, see if you can find it:

I guess that answers the question.

To save you all some time:

"We have realized over the years, going from two parks to seven now, you get buying power for certain items," Witherow said. "All of our parks are Pepsi parks -- it's a more lucrative deal with more guests. We believe fully there will be buying power as we go to 12 amusement parks."

More buying power = lower prices?

[The Interpreter]

If those lower prices are reflected at the guest level, Holiday World must have one heck of a deal!

I hear Pepsi gives you the Plague.

i wonder if theres a clause in the contract if pp got bought buy a rival but i dont know though

Cokes so much better though

[The Interpreter]

Regardless of what the contract may or may not say, few companies want to do business with a company that does NOT want to do business with them. A contentious business relationship is usually soon ended, much to the relief of both sides. Cedar Fair is most definitely a company that greatly prefers Pepsi. Very proudly so, too.

[TopThrill]

I don't care how this cola unfoldes, I like both of them.

[CoastersRZ]

Actually, up until the early `90s Cedar Point served Coca-Cola products. Also, CoastersNSich, I hope that Cedar Fair brings back the classic Kings Island logo from the pre-Paramoount days. However, I feel we will see an all new redesigned logo for next season.

I actually prefer Pepsi to Coke. Oh well, either way, it works...(Not like I ever buy drinks anyways)

WHAT??? No it doesn't.

WHAT??? No it doesn't.

Yeah, reports from the CDC (Based Right Here in Atlanta) show compelling evidence in the connection beteew Plague and Pepsi.

[Jasper]

The article says that NOW only Six Flags and Disney stand between it and the top. That means that Paramount stood between it to. That is a plus for paramount but i guess it does it no good anymore. I would consider Cedar Fair now to be a better chain of parks than Six Flags. You never know CF could go on a rampage and buy Six Flags while they are at it.

i love Pepsi... it's my favorite... hahaha yeah, a bit random... i know.

[PKIVortex]

I perfer Coke to Pepsi. But at least if the do go with Pepsi in the Paramount Parks next year, at least they will have Mountain Dew!

[moore]

I like Coke products a lot better but it's all overpriced and I always end up drinking bottled water anyway so it doesn't really matter.

[WooferBearATL]

And then fill the bottle at the waterfountains. <G>

Atlanta, huh? Where COCA-COLA is based?

But the local pediatrician in Purchase, New York denies it...

Pay No Attention to that Man Behind the Curten!

I think Kinzel's comments are an open invitation to Coke and Pepsi to fight for rights to the parks.

[kjkjkj]

I think it would be cool if they had both, but we all know that would never happen

[coasterking123456]

I prefer Pepsi products over Coke.

Coke is better, but Mountain Dew is also awesome! So either way, I'll be happy.
