Lets see what changes we have for 2009...............................................................................................................................................
20 dollar footlong.... Doesn't quite have the same jingle as the commercials...

I'll buy my 5 dolla foot long down the street and keep it in my cooler in the car. Take that Cedar Point high food prices!
I'd rather eat and watch Magnum from my car, than sit in a restaurant using my arm, leg, and child's college fund as payment.
"You wanna, you gotta, you hafta hold on, Cedar Point...HOLD ON!"
Don't they know times are tough? 20 dollar footlong. Just like what Jesz said, I'd rather go down the street to Subway and get a 5$ footlong. Then eat it with drinks brought from home.
Quote from a Corkscrew ride op, "And Dragster is down again"
I'll continue to get the CP fries! But as far as lunch goes, I'll leave the park or pack a lunch before I pay those outrageous prices! Mark up is one thing, but Highway robbery is another.....
I'm curious to find out the details on the new "all you can drink" wristbands this year. Is there a charge for every refill, like with the Maverick cups, or are refills free. If its free refills all day, then $8.99 (or it may be $9.99, I don't remember exactly) feels a little less like highway robbery, especially if it includes places like Gameday, CFA, and Panda. I know that I personally could easily go through five or six 22oz. drinks in a day, maybe 7 or 8 if its extremely hot out. So if I drank five drinks in a day, that's basically getting two free for the day (at their insane markups). Obviously, if you're not someone who drinks quite as much, it doesn't end up being as good of a value, but I'm sure people will buy it anyway.
Still, food prices need to come down, or quality needs to increase by leaps and bounds overall.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

I was at the Ride Warriors event at Kings Island last weekend. As part of the event they were nice enough to give us all you can drink wrist bands. You could use them pretty much anywhere. I think there were limitations at some places like Panda. However I was able to use it at Skyline.
The best part was that if I got thirsty all I had to do was go up to the nearest stand and tell them what I wanted. The first day I think I went through 9 or 10 drinks and the second I had about 5 but was not there as long.

I don't think I could drink 7, or even 5 in a day. I'd rather spend all my time on rides and waiting for 'em than in the restroom! Still, these all-you-can-drink bands could come in handy.
Last year they had the all you can drink refills at King's Island. You went up to one of the places that sold them (we bought them at La Rosa's both days) and then any time you go up to a stand just show them the wrist band, choose your drink, get it, and walk away.
For something like $9 bucks we thought it was a great deal, we used it quite a bit, but only bought pop once or twice, usually got the Power Aid that they have in the fountains.
Now not sure if these will be the same thing, but I figure they will and I will use them if I plan on being in the park more than a couple of hours.
