Here we are just days past the close of the 2016 season, and we are already getting a further glimpse into the 2017 souvenir drink cup program at the Cedar Fair amusement parks.
Once again, the very popular All-Season drink cups will return for 2017. This is excellent news for those that visit the parks a handful of times, as they provide unlimited refills for the entire season. However, this may not be the best news for those that do not like carrying and having to store the cups during rides.
Just like in 2016, it is imperative that you make an effort to properly secure your cups when unattended, because as we predicted in 2015 and was proven throughout the year, theft was an issue. We also suggest you review Everything You Need to Know About the Cedar Fair All Season Souvenir Bottle.
As we start to get data on the 2017 Cedar Fair souvenir cup program, the first thing you will notice is a redesigned container and lid. We are not sure at this time whether the cups will be stronger or have additional features.
The 2017 All-Day souvenir cups (yellow) are $10.99 (online) or $14.99 each, 2 for $12.99, or $10.99 (3 or more) when purchased in the parks. All-Day cups include free refills on the day of purchase and $1 refills the rest of the season.
All-Season souvenir cups (red) are $29.99 and include free refills all season.

I so would spend extra if they would have a retractable straw so it’ . Not all out and over the place to touch everything.
Still not good enough for ride warriors. Still need to add the drink plan onto the season passes. I guess Cedar Fair will never learn. Those cups are a pain in the but to carry around when riding.
I’m going to get a cup at whatever park I visit first, last year it was Carowinds, this year it could most likely Knotts or Kings Island.
I’d get Kings Island’s first if it was possible.
I have the meal and drink plan @ Dorney Park. I see an option now is a disposable cup. My question is…does this cup hold as many ounces as the plastic one and does it come with a lid? Yes, carrying that plastic cup around all day is a pain and also can be very easily stolen.
No, the disposable cup option is about half the size as the souvenir bottles and does not come with a lid or straw.
