italianchef Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm sure that without the amusement park rides, attendance will be down this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Bombay Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 That would depend on what their attendance goal is now. Without that other side of the park they're not going to aim for those same attendance figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniebald57 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah....they thought attendance was down last year... I still think that completely trashing the amusement park side was a big mistake. The water park is cheaper to run (I guess), but is so much more dependent on the right weather, the wet guests whipping out their money to buy stuff...etc. I think I recall a recent interview with Mr. Kinzel himself about the difficulties of making money in the water park. I suspect that they will have these difficulties. The last I heard, many Geauga Lake fans still aren't too happy about this whole thing. save the dipper.

The Interpreter Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 And the rebranding continues? http://www.wildwaterfun.com New URL for website...note Wildwater Kingdom is getting bigger and bigger on the site as the size of Geauga Lake's gets smaller and smaller..... Note especially the park map: http://www.wildwaterfun.com/public/map/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 That's bigger? Lord, there are subdivisions that have more attractions than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 That too....but the waterpark is shockingly small for the price... Six attractions, six! http://www.wildwaterfun.com/public/attractions/index.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortexfan Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Six slides, more fun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Sure enough. There is not a lot of water attractions at that water park. Heck, Coney has two water slides and a giant pool for half of at the gate Wildwater Kingdom admission. In fact, admission to both Sunlite Pool and Coney`s classic rides is four dollars less then admission to Wildwater Kingdom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 To be fair, have you ever seen a waterpark with such a variety of food? http://www.wildwaterfun.com/public/food/ Heck, Kings Island doesn't have that big a selection in the drypark! I can't see this lasting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzarley Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'll admit I haven't paid much attention to GL/WWK over the last several months, but when they moved the waterpark to the old SW side, wasn't there a two-year expansion plan announced? What happened to that? I was a little disappointed with the size of Zoombezi Bay from their map: http://www.dispatch.com/wwwexportcontent/s...05/22/water.pdf But, WWK looks even more limited...
