Epcot - Ice Station Cool

And about all you'll ever find for free at the parks [well, there is other stuff but they can't really make you pay for souvineers like napkins...].

So any further news on the project? What it'll feature etc. Hope the new one will have sampling... I like picking up worldly pop from the ethnic grocery stores around here - good stuff so it's always nice to taste some of the better ones put out in other countries that is tough to impossible to find here.

I can't wait to see what they do with the place. The "Club Cool"... wonder if they're gonna keep the big globe mural...?

OMG! That was one of the BEST things from Epcot! Especially on a "your feet are melting on the pavement" kind of day! I loved the stuff from Italy! It was closed whe nmy little sis and I went down last sept. The free drinks were pretty cool too!

The one from Italy was the Beverly, right? Wow, that was so incredibly bitter. I couldn't even stand more than a sip of it. I guess it's huge in Italy though, so someone must like it!

I did not see the Mural last time I was there. Maybe I missed it. But I do remember it being pretty boring. It just didn't have the appeal the original had.

I miss the freezer you had to pass through, and I miss the frozen cave man!

Except for that one that taste like licking the toilet rims in Frontierland. That one actually made my stomach cramp up.

haven't laughed so hard in quite a while......I've been to the coke tasting station at the Coca-Cola world in Las Vegas, and it is quite entertaining. I'm hoping that this one will be back up and running in Sep when I visit.

I missed it this trip, by 10 minutes. Stupid 7pm closing time. Of course I was there 2 other days and forgot to stop in...

Just another reason to go back soon! As if you needed one...

Yes, "Beverly" was the drink from Italy that tasted horrific. We used to try and get unsuspecting family members to take a nice big gulp just to watch their face afterwards.

When we were there a couple weeks ago they only had about 4 or 5 of them with anything in them. Not sure why, but they were out of the other one's. They do have the slushies there now which are good and you can build your own cup like at Goofy's.

you have to remember that in Europe they drink most things at room temperature or warmer. An iced cola is not exactly common. It could just taste bad cold.

Unless you took it around with you, you never know. Plus we are used ot cold drinks...people from other countries probably don't like our stuff.

I was in Germany once...my parents wouldn't let me try the beer cause I was "too young" and so I had the only other drink besides water---a coke mixed with lemonade at room temperature. It was terrible.

Sad to see the place go.

I spoke with a CM in there once and she said that Beverly was "the life fo the party" -- what made the place fun (along with the free part). Provided contrast with the other sodas. My kids loved to "trick" me... "Hey Papa, try this one!"

Personally I always liked the apple one.

For little kids from Florida, seeing "snow" (actually shaved ice) in the entry area was a big thrill too. And, when our littlest ones started overheating, that was where we'd go.

If you ever go to Atlanta, you can go to the Coke Museum, which has dozens more flavors (plus all their US ones). Fun, but sticky!

The caveman was scary for me... in unintentional ways.

I really can't remember sorry. I last went in 2001 and its a shame that
i will never get to drink ........er......um.... whatever its called again.

The bitter one is called Beverly.
I like Kinley Lemon and Smart Watermelon though.
Unfortunately, the best part of this attraction was the snow tunnel.
It's gone now. It's been replaced by Club Cool (It would fit the theming and go with the annoying teen pop music if they renamed it Club Kool).
I miss the snow tunnel. It was the only snow I ever get to see here.
