As the off-season comes to a close, I thought this would be a funny topic to make. Are you addicted to Kings Island's Blue Icecream? Do you crave it often? Do you have to get it almost every time you go to the park? If so, then you are addicted to blue icecream, and you're not alone

BLUE BERRY ICE CREAM HERE I COME!!!!!

i love the ice cream but last year i didnt buy any and i visited the park about 18 times.

Never had it before. I'm gonna have to try it now. Where in the park can you get it?

i think the only place you can get it at is the food vendor by the chick fil a vendor in NU

Correct me if i am wrong

you can get it next to Delirium and in NU...the one in NU is creamier in my opinion...YUMMMM

Bue Icecream is amazing. Some people love it, some people hate it, I don't think there is an in between

Anyways, you can get Blue Icecrean at the "blue icecream" place in Nick Universe, or you can get it at the "IceScream" place in Action Zone, the place by Delerium.

i would get it in NU

I refuse to answer. Some years back, some of our family friends had a little store in KI. Well they sold "Smurfberry" ice cream in their Hanna Barbarra located store. Their "Smurfberry" ice cream was such a big hit, Kings Island kicked him out of the park but kept the "Smurfberry". How? When you sell something in the park, like food, Kings Island has the rights to that recipe without asking perrmision. They are sneaky like that. And you also can't take them to court because in your contract, it says that Kings Island has the rights to all your products.

As far as I can remember, I haven't had blue ice cream.

I vote YES!

I always have to get either blue ice cream or a blue Icee. My addiction is borderline severe.

Don't get me wrong, I love the stuff, and crave it, but I wouldn't say I'm addicted.. IMO, Graeters there is better.

^ that draws the line between addicted and those who love it. An addict would never pick Graeters over Blue Icecream

i for one don't like the blue ice cream, but i love the vanilla.

I can tell you they needed permission to use the "Smurf" name..... But there is no possible way this is still true. KI does not now own the recipes of Subway, Skyline, Starbucks, etc.

How do you know that? Like i said, when you sign the contract, you are basically giving up all your rights to that product. Ever notice how their LaRoses or Skyline tastes just a bit different than the other LaRoses or Skyline places? They just change the recipe ever so slightly so the owners won't come back and sue them. You don't have to believe me, and honestly, I don't care if you do. And Kings Island didn't use the "Smurf" name. They changed it after the people got kicked out of the park. Those people used to own a little ice cream shop at the Butler County Fair and a Kings Island Representive(sp?) asked them if they would want to sell their product at Kings Island, and they said yes. Don't think for a second that Kings Island wouldn't do that. You do what you have to do to make money, and thats how it will always be.

Im good for about the first three licks then it makes me sick.

ughh i can't stand that stuff.....black rasberry chip from greater's however, is a totaly different story

The one in NU tastes better than the one in Action Zone.

YES! I love this ice cream.

Several things;

Most of this falls in the category of urban legend, not law or fact. Skyline, Subway, etc., are not purposely different in the park. That would violate the franchisee's contract with the franchisor. Subway and Skyline would simply NOT allow that.

A contract is an agreement between two parties. It can say anything the other party will let the opposite party get away with, within very few legal limits. If a food vendor is silly or naive enough to sign away their rights to a recipe sold in the park, so be it. But most vendors would never sign such a contract.

I can assure you Chick-Fil-A, for instance, would not want a customer to not have any idea what kind of product they will get just because the product is sold in a theme park instead of a roadside restaurant. Are we to believe Kings Island could pass off a cow as chicken?

When Bavarian Beetle, who is a lawyer and has told us so many times, tells us what the law is, I, for one, believe him. Long before I'd believe a spited vendor who left Kings Island under whatever circumstance.

Lastly, the Kings Island who dealt with your ice cream vendor friends is long gone. Cedar Fair runs the place now. As the older contracts expire and new ones are negotiated, I doubt seriously the contracts they have or will have with vendors are the same ones that Taft, KECO, Carl Lindner's Great American, Paramount or CBS had.

You also might be surprised. Some vendors are so big and so important that there is NO contract. What contract governs the relationship between McDonald's and The Coca-Cola Company? There isn't one.

It's tradition to at least get it once during a season at KI, read it somewhere.

Reminds me of a bunch of smurfs shredded, churned, sweetened, and then squeezed out onto a cone.

Morbid no?

Sadly, I've never had the Blue Ice Cream. I usually forget to eat while at KI, or any amusement park for that matter.

I'm not addicted but I like it.

Must have it at least once each trip to the park. To me, the texture is different than other soft-serve. You can actually "bite" into it.

That stuff is amazing. One of the only "treats" I really splurge on at any amusement park.

ya and it makes your teeth hurt. ( ruler who just had to since it does for him)

If I purchase any Ice cream product at the park, it is either banana split dippin dots or a root beer float in Action Zone

For my wife, it is not an official full trip to Kings Island without having blue ice cream sometime during the day.

[EDIT]...nor is it a full trip if I don't eat at PotatoWorks...
