Yes, you can get all the free soft drinks you care for at the Southern Indiana park, provided you don't mind going without Coke. Holiday World's a Pepsi shop, as were the Busch and Cedar Fair parks the last I checked. Disney, Universal and Six Flags parks pour Coke products.
Once upon a time, you could find beverages from both companies in the same park. Pepsi, for example, was the original sponsor of the Country Bear Jamboree at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, while you'd find Coke sponsoring attractions on Main Street USA and in Tomorrowland.
These days, though, the two big soft drink companies have locked down exclusive pouring rights at almost all public facilities, from theme parks to sports stadiums... even for entire college campuses. When I went to Northwestern, students eagerly awaited the evening arrival of "The Sandwich Man" and his food truck, because he sold cans of Coke, while every vending machine on campus dispensed only Pepsi products.
So, which company's drinks do you prefer? (For reference, Coke products include A&W, Barq's, Canada Dry, Coke, Dasani, Dr Pepper, Fanta, Minute Maid, Schweppes, Sprite and Powerade. Pepsi products include Aquafina, Gatorade, Lipton, Mountain Dew, Mug, Pepsi, Sierra Mist, Sobe and Tropicana.)
I'm throwing in a neither option for people, like me, who don't drink the fizzy drinks.
In the comments, please defend your choice, and attack the oblivious know-nothings who picked the other. Have a great weekend, everyone!

However, I voted for Pepsi because I like all their varieties.
Other than that, its Tea and Coffee for me.
But since I have souvenir glasses several parks, I have to also take into account the slightly changed tastes that souvenir cups do to drinks. In that case, the sweet teas are better because it doesn't fizz out AND are great on a hot day.
- and when Pepsi was still doing its Pepsi points contest, I was in heaven at Seaworld because I found many abandoned Pepsi bottle caps that equaled small prizes for me. Yeah, a little disgusting, but it was FREE!!!!
Nuff said!
Wouldn't want a misunderstanding like this to taint your results! :-)
If it's a fountain drink, honestly, there isn't too much of a difference to me.
If I do choose a soda, I will usually take a Pepsi over a Coke.

The other stuff they make is great, too.
