Coca Cola Freestyle

[punzieandeugene309]

This is super random, but does anyone know if there are Coca Cola Freestyle machines anywhere in the park?

Nope

Nope

Not even at Club Cool in Epcot?

Looking at the Coke Freestyle locator, there appear to be a few but the also appear to be backstage.

Wow that's cool!

Actually it looks like there are a few at the resorts and at DTD (Splitsville, movie theatres), and at the Hess stations around WDW.

SeaWorld has several, including a special flavor only available there.
But there aren't any inside any of the Disney parks.

I've never seen that before. Cool!
I always seem to notice though, the regular Coke machines at the entrance to Hollywood Studios.

They had them in the Chase Lounge last year during F&W.

Before I first tried one, I thought they were such a cool idea. Little did I know that it would ruin my beloved Cherry Coke.

I agree. Cherry Coke doesn't even taste like Cherry Coke.

They are all over Universal Studios, but have never seen one in Disney World.

I don't get it - how does it ruin Cherry Coke?

I completely agree except it ruined my vanilla coke.

The machine doesn't use a specific "Cherry Coke" syrup, "Vanilla Coke" syrup, etc. which comes from the Coke factory like it would for regular fountain drinks.

For all Coke flavors it just has standard Coke syrup. To make Cherry Coke, Vanilla Coke, or any of the unique flavors found in the machine (like Raspberry Coke, Lime Coke, Orange Coke, etc) the machine uses super concentrated flavoring added in to the regular Coke mixture. So because it is cherry flavoring being added to regular coke the Cherry Coke will taste different than if it was dispensed from a standard fountain. So I guess that's how it is "ruined" in the eyes (err... taste buds) of the person who said that.

Personally, I think it tastes better.

I tend to agree that the mixtures taste better from the freestyle machine. IMHO

Regular fountain Cherry Coke is delicious. In the freestyle machines, the mix regular coke with a horrible cherry syrup.

 

[L&Lfan]

But I thought that's how they used to make flavored Coke in the soda fountain days....Coke and the flavored syrup (cherry, vanilla, lemon, raspberry etc). I would think it would taste better than pre-made. Hmmm!

 

[mickey1968]

I think those machines also make the regular coke taste nasty. It picks ip all the other flavors and is just horrible.

The cherry syrup to coke ratio is off. Plus it doesn't taste like the same cherry syrup that's in regular Cherry Coke. Tastes more like cherry flavored soda mixed with coke.

It was and it does.
