Coke to dominate US Six Flags parks

Posted | Contributed by redman822

Theme park giant Six Flags and The Coca-Cola Company announced a long-term agreement that will make Coca-Cola the exclusive soft drink supplier in all 28 Six Flags parks in the U.S., beginning January 1, 2003. The new agreement will move Coca-Cola availability in the Six Flags system from 65% to 100%, making Coca-Cola the official soft drink supplier of Six Flags parks worldwide.

I think SFKK should strike a deal with Ale-8-One. That's the best soda of all time.

Those who live in the Lexington area will know what I'm talking about. Although it's spreading, I can now get it near my parents' house as far north as Wilmington, Ohio.

SFKK should strike a deal w/ Jim Beam.

SFKK should strike a deal with Intamin and get an impulse coaster! :-)
I will actually change my order if I ask for coke and they inform me they serve pepsi. I'm all for Chocolate and cinnamon based beverages, like coke. If I wanted a lemon lime base, I'd get sprite not a cola product, like pepsi. I'm so glad mu home park will now have coke available.

The countdown has begun to Gaydays 2003 at Disney and Universal.

That sucks. I just think that Pepsi has a much better variety. Coke has tried numerous times to knock off Mountain Dew, and failed each time. (I believe once, they actually tried to sell a knock off Pepsi if I remember correctly ;) )

Except for Vanilla, Pepsi makes an equivalent for every Coke product, and Coke has no match for Pepsi One, Code Red, Mountain Dew, Pepsi Blue, Pepsi Twist, etc.

Down here in Atlanta, everything is Coke, especially SFOG. We even have the world's only Pizza Hut (owned by PepsiCo) that sells coke products. I have no clear preference, I like them both.

Gas to get to PKI, $5.60. ACE card for walkback, $50.00. Meeting up with Beastnum1 and drinking 20 lemonjuice packets, priceless

I am now in love with vanilla coke. I hate regular Pepsi, I like coke, and I hate diet coke.
It all tastes the same to me.

TOGO!

It was strange going to Universal. I'm not sure if it's the case anymore but the last time I was there Coke had a deal for IoA and Pepsi had one for the rest of the resort, so there'd be Pepsi in the parking garage and at Universal Studios, but there'd be coke inside IoA.

I'd rather have Pepsi products than Coke, to me they taste better and have a better variety.

About Coke being sold at KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Huts in Six Flags parks, I thought I remembered hearing something about Pepsi Co. spinning off those companies, so thats why they sell Coke in some of them. I could be wrong though.

Just sit back, and enjoy your record breaking ride on Millennium Force!

I wish I could easily find SURGE. Lately they haven't been selling it here in Altoona. When I worked at IOA it was easy to find.

I like both Pepsi and Coke products. When I get tired of coke, I drink Pepsi, and vice versa. At amusement parks I don't really mind what they sell, but I tend to like fountian Coke at the parks a little better. It seems they put more syrup in Coke products at amusement parks. YUM YUM.

Pepsico did indeed spin off the KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut chains a few years ago. I believe Pepsico now consists of Pepsi Cola, Frito-Lay, Tropicana, and Quaker Oats/Gatorade. Didn't Six Flags recently sign a deal with Frito-Lay? I find it interesting whenever I don't see the combo of Frito-Lay and Pepsi Cola. (I used to work for Frito.)
