OSU RHAC Trip

Okay, this is too funny not to share. I was looking on Twitter and OSU'S RHAC is taking a trip to Kings Island's Halloween Haunt. Normally this wouldn't be of any significance, except for they planned the trip for October 9th, when there are no Haunt events planned for that day. Thoughts?

They should probably reschedule...?

I agree. Ironically, they've even made flyers and distributed them across social media and campus.

You gonna go?

Yes, it'll be fun for me and a few others as well.

Okay conspiracy theorist here: maybe they were originally planning to go to CP, since CP has haunt on that night. Thoughts?

With Friday afternoon classes & football each upcoming Saturday, it probably has to be Sunday.

Should have checked before advertising it as Haunt, I suppose.

The signup sheet was changed to Great Pumpkin Fest at King's Island, followed by a whole paragraph about the Haunt. The fascinating thing is the game is against Indiana, which no offense to any IU fans on this forum, but their football team stinks.

I didn't get in and was put onto waitlist. However, the group is still advertising this as a "Haunt" event.

I found it ironic that they changed the sign-up sheet to the Great Pumpkin Fest right after I tweeted at them that there is no Haunt on October 9:

I am excited to go regardless!

Okay, I found a possible, yet likely reason behind RHAC going to the toddler Halloween event rather than the Haunt. They're bringing along 50-60 students. The Sunday tickets are $2 cheaper than the Saturday ones. Being an organization that is tight on money, they likely bought the Sunday one thinking it was the Haunt and save $100-$120 in the process.

Plus, if a person doesn't show up for their trip, the group charges $40. I'm thinking that could be their maximum spending per person.

RHAC's money comes directly from students in the form of housing fees, so it's good if they're frugal.

 

If they really wanted to be frugal, they'd ask those with a season pass to use it for admission.

Valid point. Any club who skips a discount of $650 to $900 for a group of 50-60 people is bothersome, especially for a money tight organization like RHAC.
