No post mix machines behind the counter, they were removed when the self service machines were put in at Gotham.

This is incorrect.

Sweet Treats and Gotham have Post-mix guns. All outlets are capable of doing refills of post-mix excluding Village Bean and the Frozen Coke stand. (News Stand can do refills when the refill station isn't open too)

But if want a drink refill at lunch I don’t want to line up for 10-15mins behind families ordering and waiting for burgers & fries - it defeats the entire purpose of it 

It's about time they stopped offering soft drinks full stop. Absolutely terrible for guests health yet they encourage everyone notonly to drink it,  but to drink far more than could be considered acceptable (sort of) as an occasional "treat".

That’s ridiculous. Adults can choose what they want to put in their bodies, and as parents choose for their kids. Guess they should ban beer, burgers, hot chips etc as well. 

If people can’t use self control and moderate their intake, or hell, if they choose to drink soft drink all day every day, that’s their perogative.

I don't have a problem with them selling soft drink. What I do have a problem with though, is the bottomless soft drink cups. I think it is very irresponsible and they need to stop selling them.

Agreed - it's like what, .01c per cup to put a bottom on them?

That's kind of my point really. You put it better than I did!

Guest should be allowed to drink the soft drink straight from the tap.  Better for the environment, no cups required and Village could save a penny on cups.

Thanks

Would ask why you can't just buy a season long refill cup but that would stop the crazily overpriced reactivation fee if you wanted to use it a second day. For those complaining about soft drink you're not being forced to buy it and heaps of people choose it. I don't drink soft drink at Dreamworld but that's because the only options there are water or beer.

There’s no problem about bottomless soft drinks. Part of being a responsible parent is being able to moderate the crap your kids invest against the exercise they have. And learning to actually use that so forbidden of words: “NO”

Isnt the point of the stations is they dont need to be manned? How do you save money by closing them?

Weve had this discussion about soft drinks and health before. If you single them out as a problem you are a hypocrit if you dont also demand fruit juices, milks and iced teas removed from sale too as they frequently exceed the calories of soft drink and often contain vastly more sugar.

Only reason I can think of that is somewhat logical is they are willing to wear the cost of all the “stolen” drinks when the park is buzzing and they are making a mint from in-park spend, but not so much when it’s quiet.

I've seen how much post-mix soft drink syrups cost. Trust me, they wouldn't be losing anything significant!

Maintenance on the machines is probably higher than the syrup cost.

Yep. Still very minimal though.
