Coke wins Cedar Fair

It's still there...and home of the famous Beverly. I happen to like Beverly, but for most it is an acquired taste.

Seek medical help immediately. You are hallucinating.

Yep, Club Cool is what it's called now. I think you and I are the only people that like Beverly. ;)

Every time I'm at the park, I stop by and have a cup or two. I don't drink pop normally at all, but I would be very tempted to import some Beverly if I could. The other good one in there is the ginger ale, forget what country its from, but it has a stronger and different kick than Canada Dry.

Interesting you mention this. I normally drink sparkling water or water, not much else. But, I do stop in Club Cool nearly every visit to Epcot.

In the words of Tony Horton: drink your water people!

Saw the official announcement today and a question popped to mind.

How long have the parks had the deal with Pepsi? Was Coke in the park prior to that?

I expect a full timeline of the drink offerings at Cedar Fair.

Pepsi came to Cedar Point in 1992. It was Coke before that, but I don't know when it began.

So Pepsi has been there for 20 years.

Cool. Thanks.

It is hard to believe that 1992 was 20 years ago... geeze.

It was Coke back in the 1970's when I worked there. It might have been since George and Emil took over.

Coke is now looking for someone to market their products in connection with Cedar Fair parks...

I'm eager to see how/if this strategic alliance is executed beyond just listing an "official soft drink sponsor" on the park map.

So, they're basically looking for a Coke® dealer?

I know a lot of people like those machines where you can create a lot of combinations of drinks - but I don't.

From what I undersatnd they are sort of like printers (Using cartridges of flavor instead of ink).

I tried one not too long ago since it was the only option in a Long Island Wendys.

When I want just regular coke, I got a weird aftertaste of several other flavor additives that I didn't want and I felt the entire drink was rendered disgusting and undrinkable.

I don't know how this thing works with drive-through windows. Stick to what works...if you offer too many choices things can go wrong.

Do what works, do it right, do it fast and keep the line moving.
