What's Up With the Noodle?

One of my kids is obsessed with mac and cheese so of course we had to take a pic with it. Any particular reason we have humongus pasta in the park?

Which restaurant did you get it from?

Wonder if it's the same one that was at Kings Island, or are both parks lucky enough to have one of their own?

It is the same noodle that was down at Kings Island, either CP or Tony tweeted that it made the journey from Mason to Sandusky

Free money for Cedar Point from Kraft Mac n Cheese. Great marketing strategy by Kraft Mac n Cheese. Kraft is paying Cedar Point to display the noodle in the park, and think about how many people are going to take a picture with the noodle and post it on social media. The marketing strategy was already very successful down at Kings Island.

Funny story about the noodle: My wife and I did a Cedar Fair trip this last week. We started at Kings Island, which of course had the noodle right next to the Eiffel Tower. We then went to Carowinds, Kings Dominion, and Dorney Park before making the drive over to Cedar Point.

On our way into the park on Monday night at about 11 pm, we see none other than the noodle making its way right in front of us. It was pretty awesome. We were of course wondering where in the park it might end up. Well sure enough, it ended up going just outside of the pathway to Dinos Alive and Camp Snoopy.

Needless to say, it was pretty funny to see it in one spot and then not even a week later see this gigantic noodle in another park.

Whoops! Sorry, I thought you ate giant pasta at one of the restaurants. I haven't been to the park in a while. I'm going Monday. So I am assuming he is similar to the Subway Sub Character?

I'm surprised I didn't see any Kraft logo on the pasta unless I missed it. All I saw was you know you love it and please don't climb on the noodle.

And all I saw were kids CLIMBING all over the noodle despite the warning. Sad state on either the kids ability to read and/or the parents attitude toward rules don't apply to me!

Honestly I don't think a Kraft logo is necessary. When people think of Mac and Cheese they either think of Kraft Mac and Cheese or generic ripoff of Kraft

When I think of Kraft Mac and Cheese, I think, "ew". Am I the only one to despise this faux noodle and all it represents?

My kids have grown up with generic rip off of Kraft or mac and cheese from scratch with actual cheese. I doubt that the noodle brought to mind any thoughts of Kraft as a brand name for them. Only one of them will even eat the stuff.

So funny you mentioned that, because two weeks ago my girlfriend and I were at Kings Island, and the noodle was there. And then we went to Cedar Point on Thursday and it was there too. I had no clue it was the same noodle until now.

I understand it's one measly (large) noodle, but I just hope Cedar Point doesn't go the route of Six Flags with all kinds of sponsors throughout the park (ie: SFGAdventure's Twister with the left twix/right twix logos on the arms that spin the gondola)

I saw it today behind TTD.

^ Cool story.

When I think of Kraft, I think of all the cancerous materials they shove in their macaroni and cheese boxes.

There's noodles all over the country. I just played with the one by the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago a few weekends ago. I'm sure they have them in other places that attract lots of people, too.

Who cares if Cedar Point has it on display? Who cares if they incorporate some advertising into their park. Honestly, why does it bother people so much?

You played with your noodle at the aquarium. That is disgusting!

^ That's exactly what I was thinking :)

Nice to see #Jonathan in a new home
