Beware of the 2012 mugs.
« on: April 25, 2012, 04:21:14 PM »
After going to the park 2 times this year and being told that the new 2012 mugs were only good for this season and would not be honored next season I decided to call the park.  I talked to Brenda in the Food department; she said that it was true that the new mugs would not be honored past the end of this season.  I then asked her about the other 20 or so mugs I have and she said at this time they will honor those.  I asked her if she had heard any from anyone else on this and she said to her knowledge I was the only one who has complained.  What do you all think?

Do you mean the refill price won't be honored after this year?

That is correct.  The 2012 mugs are only refillable for this season.

Think about it...they make ALOT of money off food and drink sales. If they now can force you to buy a new mug every year at over $10 per mug, WOW that's some pretty good cash they get. If what the food services gal says is true HANG ON TO THE OLD MUGS!

So glad I rescued a bunch of old ones from my parents. White Water had already switched to one-season-only mugs; it's a shame SDC had to, too.

Glad I didn't buy a new mug like I had planned!

I have found many, many mugs in great shape at yard sales. I placed this on another thread but will repeat here...I found four mugs for a dime each recently, although three did not have lids. Still a great bargain (better than what we will get from the 2012 mugs)!

The problem is that here in Central Oklahoma I am not very likrly to find any at a garage sale.  I am just worried that after a year or 2 thay might not want to honor the old mugs we have now.

i would hope that as the season goes on or at least come next year when people realize this change the complaints will roll in. You stupid thing is they already make a good profit from just the refills alone. I guess they feel they need a bigger profit margin on the soda. You know they get some great deal from coke just due the quantity that they buy. Hopefully someone realizes the stupidity in this.

Well, I'm a collector of SDC mugs, so it won't really bother me much 'cause I'll be buying next year's mug anyway.

And who knows? Maybe doing it this way, they can make money and therefore not have to increase admission fees.

Wow, it is true that you learn something everyday...........I didn't know that mugs from past years could be used for this year, or prior years.

I had always bought a couple new mugs each year. They always saved me money anyway, I guess I didn't know that I should have just brought back my old ones and saved even more money.

I bet next year, only the 2013 cup will be honored....
