Major Chain Considering Free Soda or Parking?

[DarienLake:D]

This is coming from Screamscape and I kind of want to know who you think might have been asking these questions in a survey?

General News - (5/13/10) Could a major theme park chain be considering offering new included benefits like Free Parking and/or Free Soda? Apparently one of them is thinking about it apparently, because one of our readers was asked to take a survey this past week that pitched just such a concept. No names were given to even give a clue as to who it may be, but I’d wager it was either Cedar Fair, Six Flags, or PARC Management, with SeaWorld Parks in a very distant fourth.
In any case, the survey proposed different pricing options to see which was deemed to be the most popular or best value. They options could best be broke down into 3 types.
Option 1 - A normal pay for everything approach, as we have now at 99% of all the parks. Option 2 was to pay a higher ticket price to get into the park, but all parking would be free. Option 3 was an even higher daily ticket price, but parking was included as well as free sodas to drink while in the park.

I guess it would just depend on the chain and pricing structure for me to know if it was worth it. Most of the time, you have at least 3 people coming per car, but you only make money off one of them. If you added parking onto tickets, then you could make money off of everyone in the car.

With sodas, I really don't think there is a way they can do unlimited sodas and for me to save money. $13 souvenir cups with Free/$1 refills is a hard deal to beat.

They already do the $1 refills for souvenir cups.. But what they could do cause i saw this at SFKK when i was there. you pay say $8 and you get unlimited refills all day...

That's how it is at all of the Six Flags parks, but the souvenir cup is $13 at most parks. You get free refills the day you purchase the cup and $1 refills the rest of the season.

ADMIN EDIT: It has been over a year, and all that we have seen related to this rumor is Six Flags raising parking prices. I think it is safe to say this rumor is false.
