No Food Allowed In Park

[SFGAm Rules]

I've been bringing food into the park for the past 5 years. They wouldn't let it in today. Is this because of the water park? Did any of you have this problem?

[diggerg56]

I can't say if the waterpark has anything to do with it or not but the rules say no outside food or drink may be brought into the park. If they choose to start enforcing it now that's certainly within their right.

If you've been bringing stuff in up until now I'd say you've been lucky. I've seen plenty of people denied entry until they finished whatever they were drinking or if they were carrying fast food sacks.

I believe it has been the policy of the park since the beginning to not allow outside food into the park.

I usally bring food into the park but this year, I had my poncho with me and I keep it in a tupperwear (poncho-in-a-box) and they almost took it because they thought it was food! Why the sudden change of heart though?

[GamRCFreak]

We just put stuff into the souvenier bottles. It beats paying the outrageous prices and refills are a dollar 6. The way I;ve usually seen the policy enforced with water bottles and such was that as long as it wasn't glass they let it in. Then I just started collecting the souvenier bottles when I started to travel to other parks. So now I use those. You'd be surprised how people dont notice the different bottles from different parks.

They are suppose to take your souveneir cup from other parks at parks that you did not buy it from.

[GamRCFreak]

Actually there aren't. It says that the refills are only good for the day you buy it on.

[SfGaMownz]

You can give them any souvenir cup for any Six Flags from any year it doesn't matter, I've used ones from SFMM, SFOG, ones with Viper on it from SFGAm, they will refill anything I have never had a problem doing it either.

Refills are good any day, not just the one you buy it on. I'm not sure if you can use it after the season is over, though. (I always got water.)

[diggerg56]

I was at Six Flags St. Louis earlier this year...They charge $1 extra for refills using bottles from previous seasons. I suppose it can get confusing for the workers but at least they have a definite plan to deal with that.

Yes, they let you use any souvenir cup from previous seasons. No extra charge either.

Yes, you are allowed to bring the cups back into the park.

[rctfan1556]

Wait, so you can buy a cup for like $8 with tax and bring it back everyday and get refills for $1? If that is true, I'm definetly getting one of them.

[SfGaMownz]

Yes, you can get refills for $1 or whatever they are charging now.

And yeah they won't let you bring in any food or drink except for water now, I think it's dumb and the only reason they are doing it, is to try to get more money from us buying their ridiculously high priced items.

Well, duh. It is a business after all.

[danieln84]

Yes, i bring my sports bottle all the time, 1 dollar everyday....

[LAFFfan4lyfe]

i need to invest in one of those cups for sure. drinking water is getting old, and i'm not paying three dollars at firehouse pizza for a small drink.

[punkbunny24242]

I could sell ya a cup

Just kidding.. just kidding! I love those cups but we make so many spur of the moment trips that I wouldn't have a cup with me so last year we bought like 8 or 9 of them. I'm smart now.. I keep a clean "emergency" cup in my car. Seriously!

[mulletman13]

Hrmm... I know a lot of you may be offended or anything by this post... but hey... I'm a cheap college kid.

I was at the park few days ago in an arcade, saw a cup sitting there... came back about a half hour later... still sitting there (in SW Territory Arcade), nobody was around... so I figured why let the cup go to waste? So I picked it up, washed it at the bathroom and now have a perfectly good souvenir cup.

There is a very small chance that somebody left that there and was expecting it back... *shrug*

Besides, at the end of most days those cups wind up on top/inside of trash cans too... tourists really don't care to keep them.

[Dmrbug]

^^^ I got a Scooby Doo basket ball that way last year.

Mullet, you know it's stealing. Don't try to make up excuses like they probably didn't want it. Take it to lost and found or just leave it. Wouldn't you want somebody to do that if you lost yours? (And don't say you wouldn't, because accidents do happen.) Are you really too cheap to pay an extra $7.00 for a souvenir cup?

Wow. Captain Doo-Gooder over here.

Hey I fell down come pick me up.

[Bob O]

I have found these cups in garbage cans when throwing stuff in the garbage and have taken them out and washed them several times and then used them. I wont pay for a souvenir cup when it is way too easy to find them discarded in the parks. We have had no problem briging in water bottles and snacks but never tryed to bring in anything else.
Sf needs to realize they will make more money by selling food/soda/water by selling it at reasonable prices and not trying to rape there guests.
Holiday World does quite well by giving there guests free soda/sun screen tube rentals, when i dont feel the park is trying to screw me out of evedry last dollar i will spend more money!!

What goes around comes around. A few weekends ago one of my friends got their cup stolen, but then found another one laying around later in the day.

I have a SFOG cup, but I haven't brought it to the park yet, because it's too much of a hassle. I can survive off of water the whole 30-40 times I go.
