I personally wouldn't have any problem with that, although I'm not sure how big a logistical pain in the ass it would be for the park. Price increases are definitely a way to cull the herd a bit and the park can legit say it is due to demand and no one would be able to argue with that. I do agree that privileges have been abused or perhaps in my view very very unappreciated. I have seen entitled behavior amongst some coaster enthusiasts increase (of course I guess you could say the same in general across all walks of life) but not necessarily more people feeling entitled but rather those that veer that way getting louder and more insistent. As we were leaving an event very late one night I was thanking all the employees on the way out for staying so late for us to have fun, which I could tell they appreciated, and another attendee kind of mocked me and said "you know they get paid right?".........ummmm, ok, doesn't mean you can't exhibit some gratitude. Geeez.

Just a reminder guys! As track starts to arrive the excitement will undoubtedly build! I will be covering the construction of this incredible new coaster from start to finish! From the arrival of the track pieces to the first footers going in all the way to Media Day coverage, passholder preview and Grand Opening! I will be bringing you all the excitement! Stay tuned!

I just thought since routine maintenance was so exciting...

Would preventing one years' HWN attendees from going to the next year help? It would be more fair that way. I started going to SRM (Stark Raven Mad, which was eventually renamed Holiwood Nights) in 1995, went most years until 2021. Haven't been in 3 years and it's tough to see people bragging "yes! Got my tickets - 7 years in a row!" I mean, I'm happy for them... Despite my disappointment about not getting tickets - yet again - I'm glad they are limiting the event. It was getting overcrowded. I would think 2 weekends would at least appease more people, not that any park needs to appease anyone. I'm also happy they jacked up the price, they were giving away so much. Nobody has ever treated coaster fans better than Holiday World. (Parks used to treat coaster people like royalty in the old days - 80s... but the privilege was abused, lots of inappropriate behavior and drugs <including alcohol> ruined that.)

Mine is full of gumballs. FML
