As long as their events continue to "sell out", they feel there is no reason to market it....
They feel it is better to have you mad you missed it because you didn't know about it than have you mad because they marketed it and you made a special trip and missed it because it sold out....
Their method creates what they like to call a sense of urgency that you should be at the park for fear of missing out of something they decide to do and announce day of...
Well I have been going 80+ and 90+ times for last several years,, this year just at 21 and wont get anywhere near those previous numbers. It is sad and the park is making many do the same...... Life time pass holder and been to park since it opens and hopefully I and many others will continue but if operations remain as is for a longer time, doubt it ......

I emailed the park with my opinion on the subject and got this response:
I basically said that I felt it was unethical and inconvenient for the park to tell guests to either bring their own water bottle into the park or to play hide and seek with where water is available especially on hot days.
I have been on this same complaint for years and it has gotten STUPID at the park. Now my last visit I see Grain and Grill NO longer will have cups but says go to Starbucks! WTH! I dont drink anything but water and will NOT pay for a drink plan to just get a .00001 cent plastic cup. So nice when you wait 30 min to get food then go next door to wait 30 more to get a tiny cup of water. You could just monitor or have someone do the water for you but with budget cuts that wont happen. Love when ride ops tell you in the heat of summer to stay hydrated and get water but hey it will cost you to do so. I have taken pictures of the VIP lounge and how they have stacks and stacks of water cups there. So for $50 more a visit, I get water? WHAT A JOKE.
Meanwhile a little west and south of here....

Has anyone received their shirt and other items for Coasterstock yet in the mail? Rumor was it was sent out early May but no sign of it yet or heard anything.

While at the park this weekend we saw someone with a yellow sheet.
We know about green sheets but what does a yellow sheet mean?

Here is a picture of the completed ride. They were doing ground work as we went by

Although we didn’t get a new coaster this year it is reassuring to see how much was invested in the park infrastructure during the offseason. It always makes the future of the park look a lot better when things are renovated and will be preserved for years to come.

Also if you have done ERT for Banshee, RARELY is it open on time or even near it. By the time it opens they dont even check for pass holders.
It will open 15+ min late most the time and drives my daughter crazy waiting in line for "Early" rides.
