I always get one of these Coca Cola bottle's and I find it a great service and when ever I have been to alton towers I am normally dieing to have a wee because of it. I also find it a good value as you can get about 12 bottles of coke in that in a day and it can also keep you going though your stay at Alton Towers,

I’ve always wondered whether these things are actually worth it. I don’t usually drink coke and I think just the first fill would last me all day quite easily. I don’t know about other people and how much coke they really need to replenish their thirst, but any more than two refills would make me feel bloated I think, and it probably wouldn’t go down to well with Nemesis.

Don’t these things cost £5 with free refills? And is one filling 1 litre? If so I’ve roughly worked it out for it to be worthwhile only if you’re going to have more than 8 refills. That’s taking into consideration that the coca cola refill pod bottle things are £5, can only hold one litre and will only be used for one day only, ever! So 8 refills = 8 litres, thats a lot of coke! If you can drink all that then you deserve a blue peter badge. But if you can drink 8 litres of coke Lidl round the back of Hotel Colosseo are currently selling a multi pack or 4X 2litre bottles for £4.79p.

That’s 8 litres of coke for £4.79p so if you could drink 8 litres of coke in one day you’d be better off buying one of these multi packs from Lidl round the back of Hotel Colosseo and you’d save 21p and earn points on your club card! I suppose it could be said that it is worthwhile if you re-use your re-fill pod bottle by taking it with you every time you go to anywhere that uses them, but as one person has already said they buy one every time they visit Alton Towers, so neh!

So although I’ve never purchased one of these refill bottles I don’t think there worth it! Feel free to quote me and rip me to shreds if I have some how got all of this completely wrong or doesn’t make sense.

I've never bought one for just myself, always have one between the group (usually 3 or 4 of us) and it's a god send. We went for my birthday back in June and I think we refilled it 10 times in the duration!

Bargain IMO.

The coke re-fills are great value for money. Worth buying one and i refill around 4 times everytime I go. Great deal and hopefully it will return in March 2008. :D

This is a saviour in the hot weather, at £1.50 a pop for a 500ml bottle your better off opting for one of these, the containers with 2 halves, 1 half for coke and the other for diet coke or another drink of your choosing is an excellent idea...my girlfriend is diabetic and only drinks diet coke or diet fanta/sprite which they don't have, and I prefer the sugary option on a day out...so this is a good factor

And as for stigzy's message, granted you can get 8 x 2 litre bottles elsewhere cheaper, but are you going to lug them round a theme park all day long? These are great and easily accessible when you need a quick thirst quencher, and the price of a single drink in AT is absolutely mental, I know inflation has risen but £1.50 for a bottle of coke is a joke, thats at least 50p on anywhere else

I think there a good idea espically if your in a que and you need a drink you got one right there and if its a really hot day too. I dont usually have 8 refills i usually get about 4 or 5 in. My friend drank a full one while me and my friends were queing for Rita and got another refill by time we got on the ride and got of :lol:

We share one between the family for the day. Usually four refills a day one cup will last us an entire season.

One problem I have is that I drink the lot while queueing for something like Air, then Im dying for a wee and when the seats tip me onto my stomach it makes quite an unpleasant feeling. :P

Plus last time I got one, it was a bit wonky and I drank one side, put the cup in the station at Nemesis and when I got back it had tipped over :shock: ,so I took the cup before the staff noticed a massive puddle of coke on the shelf :P

We had always meant to buy one of these each time we go to the towers, but we never had the money to buy one, since the £5 we bring gets spent on parking at the entrance :P

However, the last time we went we actually did get one to share (between 5 people) and was amazed how useful it was in queueing for rides, I think we refilled the cup about 8 times throughout the day! The fact it holds two drinks is a positive too, as it means that my mum can get some diet coke as well (she has type 2 diabetes - the sugar in coke just kills her!); a great feature of the bottles!

Just a bit of maths, if a cup costs £4.99 on the gate and holds 500ml on each side, but in normal shops (Morrisons, Lidl round the back of Hotel Colosseo, Asda etc.), the RRP is around £1.99 for a 2 litre bottle, and we had 8 litres throughout the day, it DID save us money! (And carrying 8 litres of drink throughout the day? :shock: )

Anyone that is planning on going to Alton Towers for the day, I heavily recommend you buy a refill cup for the day, as it is a great serserviced will save you lots of money on drinks!

Never again! My internal organs have never taken such a punching. Ours leaked, gave me a sticky bag and then we ended up drinking too much, too quickly before going on rides. My poor kidneys!

But then, that's an issue with my self-control and not these excellent sugar-packed money savers :wink:

I got one for the first time yesterday sharing with another person and it was definitely worth it. On a really hot day it was great and definitely worth the money.
There are plenty of places to refill and it doesn't involve much waiting.
A self service system in some of the restaurants would be good, but possibly open to abuse.

The only thing is my bladder only really found out I had drank so much on the 2 and a half hour bus ride home! :P :|

This new product [thats what it is for me] is a god send. Theres nothing worse than being stuck in a queue and needing a drink, especially on a hot summers day when it's roasting. It's well worth having one near by. I bet thats what they were thinking when they came up with this refillable product :D
