PKIVortex Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I don't think it ever got up to $4.00 if so would anyone in there right mind pay $4.00 for a 20 oz bottle of pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopThrill Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I think Coke is staying, there still in the park this late to opening day. But Pepsi would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I drink water all the time, pop is bad for you anyways, and def not worth 4 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Yes, the price of a 20 oz, to my knowledge was never $4.00 from a machine. I seem to recall that it was either $3.50 or 3.75 last year. And yes, Coke will be served at Kings Island for 2007. But will it be there in 2008? I certainly don`t know the answer to that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I like Coke better than Pepsi but Mountain Dew is simply the best. However on a hot day I will just get a few cups of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 If Kings Dominion and Carowinds are any indication, when you see soft drink prices at Kings Island this year, you will see who else wants money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuskin Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Thats probably also true, however it could be in part due to the high debt for buying all the parks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browntggrr Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Pepsi will make it's way into all of the recently purchased Paramount Parks. It could happen mid-season or in '08. It's just a matter of when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Well with Coke renovating the Coke Cola Cool Zone, I don't think Coke will be leaving Mid-Season or even next year. Unless Cedar Fair can get out of the 7 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Maybe Pepsi is not offering a better deal than what Coke is already under contract for, for the new Cedar Fair Parks. So if the debt load is making all their decisions, it may just come down to the best deal between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yep. Ultimately, they will want to go with the company that offers them the most financial incentives. I would think that both Pepsi and Coke would want to be in the Cedar Fair parks, as that is a large captive audience to have. The combined Cedar Fair parks attracted how many people last year? Something like 18 million guests. That is a lot of people that would be drinking the perspective products. Although, I`ve heard that before Coke left the original Cedar Fair parks, they showed no interest in staying in those parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplehaze Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I think beer prices may also have something to do with them not wanted people drinking too much leading to more disorderly guests. You are kidding me right? LMFAO, the beer prices are high cause people pay for it, has nothing to do with discouraging some from drinking. It's all about the money and profits. Go anywhere, like a Reds ballgame, same prices. let me also venture to say the reason the food prices are so high is to discourage people from eating there and wanting them to go to McDonalds down the street.lol Its a profit making world, Plain and simple.

Only one of the guests (Flight Commander lady) was intoxicated. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?...p;p=entry That incident has nothing to do with the price of a frosty beverage. You will find that at any public event, sporting events being at the top, the price of beer is high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, actually I wasn't kidding you and I'm sure the same logic is used for Red's games. Sure people will pay for it at that price, but if the prices were lowered to, let's say, the price you'd pay for a beer at a restaurant or bar people would buy a lot more. And more people would probably eat inside of the park instead of driving down to McDonald's or somewhere else if the prices were a little more reasonable and if the quality of food was better. And yes I understand they want and need to make a profit to stay in business, but I think there is a little more to it than that.

Cory Butcher Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I tink dare is a tree beer limit at da Dragons games doncha know! In other words price could discourage intoxication a little, but the park wouldnt make money on the alcohol like they do by discouraging people to buy so I doubt thats the case. Especially when you can do what the Dragons and Reds do and halt beer after a certain inning and limit the beers as well. But that would also limit profit now that I think about it, wow, funny world that we live in.... Id Like an extra large burger and Fries and a extra large DIET Coke please! Then again some people just like the taste of Diet Coke and Pepsi rather than non-diet. Wow I have just been struck with an intense evaluation of humanity's hypocrisies...Im gonna get out of here before I hurt myself or someone else with words, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Maybe so but I would'nt read too much into it. It is a money issue. And I dont care if they put a McDonalds in the parking lot people would still eat in the park and pay the high prices. Sure they might sell more beer if it was cheaper however they sell tons on beer on an average day so why lower the prices if it is selling good. Same with the food. The Quality isnt so good however they sell the crapola out of it. "Therapy Is Expensive, Beer Is Cheap..." average ball park prices: Beer - $5.50 - $7.00, Cheeseburger - $6.00, Hot Dog - $3.50.
