Hot drink all-day refill

I think Towers totally underestimated how popular these would be! Couldn't see any today whatsoever!
Unless they were trialling them at the weekend for the bargain price of £5. Wouldn't be surprised if this increased to something like £12 over fireworks! >.<

People go on about price - but people have a psychological limit of what they'd spend.
I bought one and easily got my money's worth but I wouldn't have usually bought more than two hot drinks on their own.
£5 is the right price to tempt people. Any more and I doubt people would buy them on a whim. I certainly wouldn't have.

I think a price increase so soon would likely be due to Towers trying to claw back some money after TST drank the place dry over the weekend!

It would work if the refill areas for spread about. Maybe this one of the main factors they are briefly reopening the Coffee Baar, probably on a trial period. Towers Street, Coffee Baar, Katanga Kabins (inc one near FV), Burger King and Pizza pasta makes it evenly spaced out in the family areas for the parents. Brilliant idea and if all hot drinks currently being sold are included I might try it on the 29th!
Loved this idea. Although they will have to start enforcing the showing of receipts if they're to stop people simply bringing back the flask another day.
I wouldn't pay more than a fiver for a day really, I wouldn't really buy more than two coffees per day. I would consider paying a certain (reasonable!) price at the start of the season for unlimited hot drinks all season - like the fizzy drink one! I don't drink fizzy drinks very much, so this would be a welcome alternative.
I am concerned now that people have pointed out the good value on the forum, the price is going to sky-rocket.
Like the annual passes. I think they have to be sensible though. I don't think the average guest would buy more than 1-2 coffees over the course of a normal day..?

It depends really, especially on the coldest of days! The colder it is, the more hot drinks you are likely to purchase, especially in the mornings and evening when the chill really starts to dig in the most and you're trying to remain as warm and toasty as possible!
And then you have the people who drink ten cups of coffee before even getting out of bed. If you buy one of these, I could see guests drinking coffee/hot chocolate all day just to get their moneys worth. Most people would probably share them as well. =]

Even with three drinks though you would save money. Lets say on average it costs £2.70 per drink. Three drinks would cost £8.10. That's £3.10 saving! It only takes three drinks to have more than your money's worth.

Quite a cool idea, I actually like it better than the fizzy drinks refill. We should have these throughout the year, but maybe have a discount on hot days? It's probably unlikely but that's just me. Must be nice drinking hot chocolate whilst queuing outside for Nemmy

These seem a very good idea, shame we couldn't have one whilst we were at scarefest this year. £5 is a reasonable price for them which I'm sure a lot of people would pay if there was enough to go around.

But think how much a fizzy drink is? Same sort of saving to be had just because its a hot drink we think its great lol. I don't think you would really drink more than 4 or 5 a trip so its not like in summer where u could prob have 10 or more fizzy ones
