A recent visitor to Universal’s theme parks is popping his top about their “unlimited” soda stipulations.
Luis Arnaud, from New York City, has filed a class action lawsuit against NBCUniversal over what he feels is a “deceptive” business practice regarding Universal Orlando’s offer of unlimited soda refills from the parks’ Coca-Cola Freestyle machines.
Arnaud, who filed the suit on Thursday, claims he was denied his “unlimited” sodas during a visit to Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay back in July, alleging that he purchased a refillable Coca-Cola Freestyle cup for $16.99 under the understanding that he would be entitled to “unlimited” refills, the New York Post reports.
He also reactivated the deal for the following day, at a cost of $8.99, using the same cup. The special cups are fitted with microchips to prevent usage on multiple days, and only reactivate on subsequent days for the $8.99 fee, Bloomberg reports.
However, during his two days at the park, Arnaud claims he was denied a second refill after “quenching his thirst,” and was told he would have to wait 10 minutes between each refill.
“Hi. You are not quite ready to fill up,” read a message displayed by the machines after Arnaud attempted to refill his cup twice within ten minutes, according to the Post, citing photos provided with the lawsuit.
