Yea how annoying. Its nice not to see coke everywhere i go.

[ernierocker]

WooHoo! But the downfall is Mr. Pibb. Dr. Pepper has no equal!

 

No, that doesn't mean that you will get Mr. Pibb instead of Dr. Pepper necessarily. Dr. Pepper is not owned by either company so it can be served with either depending on the contract.

I just want to see Beverly at Sea World....

 

Better Beverly than Budweiser.

[Meteornotes]

^This is one of the smartest things ever posted on the internet.

^,^^. Couldn't agree more. Beverly tastes awesome...finally tried it at Epcot this year. I think it's Coca Cola's version of Brio, or other chinotto drinks from Fanta or San Pellegrino. The best American replacement of those drinks that I've tasted is Dr. Pepper. In typical North American fashion, it is milder tasting but close enough.

 

Very happy too that Sea World parks are also free from only offering a "This Bud's for you".

Beverly tastes awesome.

 

Now there's a sentence I never expected to read anywhere.

Beverly tastes awesome.

 

Now there's a sentence I never expected to read anywhere.

 

Now now let's put that in perspective...we were comparing to Bud no?

 

It's definitely an acquired taste. I was wondering why everyone looked at me funny when I said "Yum. I love it" after tasting it LOL

[Taylor Finn]

Well, I was on the edge about going on New Hotness, but now that Busch Gardens Wiliamsburg has coke, I have made up my mind. Hahaha, kidding. But either way, in terms of Coke Products as a whole, I have no preference, aside from Mountain Dew over Vault. But Coke vs. Pepsi... Coke is the winner. I tolerate Coke, I hate Pepsi. Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke are awesome though!

AHHHH!!!!!

 

BEST NEWS EVER!!!!

 

YAAAAYYYYY!!!!

 

From WESH 2 News Orlando...

 

SeaWorld To Ditch Pepsi For Coke

 

Report: SeaWorld Switching To Coca-Cola Sponsorship In January

 

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Come 2012, there won't be any more sea otters carrying Pepsi cans at SeaWorld, or any guests doing so for that matter.

 

Starting Jan. 1, SeaWorld is making the switch from Pepsi to Coca-Cola, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

 

Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort both already partner with Coca-Cola.

 

The Coke sponsorship at SeaWorld was signed for a reported 10 years.

Darn, I was holding out for RC Cola.

Just kidding.

[SharkTums]

I don't understand all of this love for RC cola!?!? It tastes like generic store soda and can barely be found anywhere nowadays anyway!

 

Back on track...YAY COKE!!!! Now we just need to convince Legoland to switch!

[Bryce232]

^ I take it you like Coke?

[SharkTums]

^I am very much a Coca-Cola fan girl. I have never liked Pepsi or Pepsi products. We helped our local Chinese restaurant in Valencia switch from Pepsi to Coke! It really does make a difference to me.

[ernierocker]

Pepsi tastes like flat Coke. RC Cola tasted like flat Pepsi. So, there you go!

[Bryce232]

^^ I see where you're coming from. My brother has been a die hard Coke drinker since he was a preteen and refuses to drink anything pepsi related. So I guess he'd be pretty excited about this too if he were an enthusiast and knew of this announcement.

 

I don't drink soda anymore but when I did, I only drank Dr. Pepper and Root Beer so this wouldn't have affected me that much anyway

[triggernel]

Back on track...YAY COKE!!!! Now we just need to convince Legoland to switch!

 

Then let's get them to offer Souvenir bottles with Soda in them. A person can only drink so much Slurpee in one day.

[canobie#1]

Pepsi is just gross. A cheap copy of coke that somehow got popular even though it has a terrible aftertaste. More parks have pepsi because t is cheaper. BUt it seems that more places are starting to switch back to coke!

 

 

Pepsi=

[thrillrider]

Cedar fairs contract's with Coke and Pepsi are up this summer.

 

I was told that they have not decided as of yet as to what brand they are going to choose, but whatever they go with will go chainwide.

[SharkTums]

^Every time we have Q&A with park management at the Cedar Fair parks I ask about switching to Coke...when we have Q&A with the ex-Paramount Parks I ask how long they will keep coke, and if there's a chance they'll keep it when the contract is up.

 

From what I've been told the different ex-Paramount parks have different contract expiration dates and they are open to basically whoever gives them the better deal. Come on Coke, bring it home!

[Hilltopper39]

I prefer coke but don't mind the free Pepsi at Holiday World.....

 

And Pepsi taste better mixed with rum (or vodka, or cheap bourbon, or whatever)

Tilikum, the whale who killed SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau in February 2010 when he grabbed her and dragged her underwater, is ill.

 

SeaWorld says trainers noted a change in Tilikum's behavior this past week and moved him into a medical pool that allows trainers and veterinary staff to closely monitor his progress.

 

SeaWorld says Tilikum is continuing to interact with his trainers and shows signs of improvement and zoological staff will continue to monitor his health closely and treat Tilikum.

According to the parks website, Penguin Encounter closes on January 2nd - http://seaworldparks.com/en/seaworld-orlando/Park-Info/Park-Hours

[Jakizle]

^Sorry Jaws, but who is down for a Penguin Encounter farewell? Count me in

[jedimaster1227]

^How about doing a farewell for both?

[coasterfreak101]

This is so upsetting! I'll miss that rank smell by just a week... First they took Jaws away from me, and now this!

[robbalvey]

^ Well, at least in this case the penguins are coming back... WITH A VENGEANCE!!!!
