I won't pin this unfortunate picture on the backs of Kings Dominion management, as it's probably Cedar Fair pushing this crap:
All Cups 3/4 full of ice, don't ask if they want ice
On my recent visit to Darien Lake, not only was I asked if I wanted ice, I was asked to specify how much ice I wanted.
But, you know, this is Cedar Fair, and I guess they can rip off their guests anyway they see fit.
"The term is 'amusement park.' An old Earth name for a place where people could go to see and do all sorts of fascinating things." -Spock, Stardate 3025
Having worked in the food industry my entire life, this comes no surprise. I guarantee that your local fast food and casual dining restaurants have the same policies and/or signs. No shame on Cedar Fair.
I'd bet the Reddit user who posted this saw the news article from the guest's overreaction to the cable breaking at SFNE... Trying to get their own 15min.
That's actually a Coca-Cola rule. When fountains are installed, they leave a big poster that states to always serve Coca-Cola products with 3/4 glass of ice for maximum enjoyment. The soda lines run under the ice and during high volume periods, the product doesn't come out as cold. If there isn't enough ice in the glass it goes flat almost immediately.

There is a fill line for ice on the soda cups. Of course, most employees never noticed the fill lines. They were told to add "about that much ice."
At a local McDonald's, I always ask for no ice in the drive thru. There must be a problem with the auto fill system. Every time, the robot adds ice, and the employee has to dump it and figure out how to tell it no ice.
What? You didn't get asked if you want ice in your drink at the amusement park? I empathize with you. Life is so hard. You sound like a spoiled snob.
