It's kind of like Knoebels when you finally get there and you're like "how are so many people here at a park in the middle of nowhere!?!"

Hopefully IF HIP ever comes back, all the people saying it was the only reason they bought passes actually show up, and more than once every few years. It is a very expensive event to put on so it needs the attendance numbers to justify keeping it going.

To my understanding Six flags is just renting the space to world of illumination. Other Six flags parks also have this partnership so the rent money could go to corporate or to us. Whatever money we make I hope they invest in bringing back HITP better than ever. Yeah, that is true. It is no longer listed, as I said in my first post. I feel like someone had to take time to make the graphic, and make the page. What Kim said, they might not want to promise it to us then possibly take it away. I think the first explanation of them messing up the graphic is most likely, or at least that’s what I hope happened. We could possibly hear something about it at their Q4 meeting this thursday, as it could have affected pass sales. If anyone has any more info, please share, I hope we have our Holiday back!

November 19th 2023 is a Sunday. Either the event is coming back but they looked at the 2022 calendar when they made that so they took it down to fix it or it's not coming back at all and accidentally added it with old dates. Either explanation is plausible, but the common thread is that regardless of what happened, Six Flags is dumb.

I think you're doing it right, Kim. Not that I have nearly the parental experience you have. Your son is going to be vastly more prepared than his peers who have never held real jobs. In turn, he'll likely be more successful and a more well rounded person.

Grabbed a few photos today while in Hershey for work. Track has officially started to go vertical on Wildcat's Revenge.

Was staffing an issue pre-covid? I never heard of staffing issues until the last few years, so I doubt the location is the issue. SFSTL is stale, run down, blah.... no excitement. That doesn't seem like a great place to work, does it? The park need a generous amount of capital for a well deserved Facelift. It gets no media attention (radio or TV), no commercials, no billboards. The park is just there, like it has been for 50 plus years. ...yawn... It's like watching your favorite Movie over and over and over, it's your favorite but eventually you have had enough.

I got the screen shot today! The crew is adding track right now! Photo Credit: Cedar Point webcam.

This one looks far better than a lot of the other smaller RMCs. Less of the abrupt jerky airtime and more fluid elements. I dig it.

HersheyPark now arguably has the best ride line-up in the country. I mean an RMC conversion, solid dueling woody, classic woody, excellent invert, classic Schwarzy, great Boomerang, operating Intamin hydraulic launch, Intamin megalooper, Intmain insane mega, great B&M mega, S&S towers, indoor spinner, dark rides, family rides. F**k. That's like the dream park I would make in Roller Coaster Tycoon.

With Cedar Fair swapping roles with Six Flags, I wonder if the new coaster will be open by July.

They must have quickly taken this off - I no longer see it posted with Holiday in the Park

All of the sudden I'm interested in the possibility of purchasing a pass. Isn't that weird? Maybe it's because as a family man, I want to go back and ride Batman again, just like all the other parents with toddlers. Weird. I thought that was supposed to solve a lot of issues. At least the costs of goods and services didn't inflate with the wages. If kids don't have the motivation, or supposedly "don't have time" to work, I don't think adding these extra steps will work. However, I'd venture to say the kid who works the 'dud' job at a hardware store stands more of a chance to gain more practical knowledge working there than he does at a modern day university.
