fallen xxi Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 ^A crowd that paid $4.44 apiece to be there. Where does this $4.44 business come from? All I've read is that people paid $17.76? Were coupons involved in this?
cgodsey Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Hopefully this past weekend showed them that people will NOT pay $40 for entry to this park. Come on FSMP... get it down to $25 and you will be profitable!
CHILLERLC1 Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 That was great to see that pic of proof that the park was really packed on the 4th of July. I'm glad that it's backed up. I'm watching the fireworks show on the 'Tube.
robbalvey Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Hopefully this past weekend showed them that people will NOT pay $40 for entry to this park. Come on FSMP... get it down to $25 and you will be profitable! Or at least figure out a business model that works at $4.44!
redfoot12 Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 I'm getting the feeling that if I want to go to this park I better do it this summer.
CHILLERLC1 Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 You have 2/3 of a less trip than I did from NJ so I would do it.

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 ^Thats great! I'll be there and don't really want to buy a full priced ticket, lol.

In addition to the great admission price, tremendous meal options, a superb nightly fireworks show and variety of rides, shows and attractions can make Freestyle Music Park an all day event.”
The Disneylander Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Good to see that the Independence Day promotion was a success. Now if only they could pull that kind of crowd without bargain-basement prices...
BeemerBoy Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 “It is due to the overwhelming success of this promotion that we are going to make every day through July 26 just like July 4 at the Park." (read: "Thank God something worked. Pleeeease come back again.") In other news, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas will also be just like July 4th.....and possibly every day in between.
Homeboy23 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I bet this gets extended even further than July 26.
The Disneylander Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Are we talking permanent? I don't really think they can survive on $8.68 per person...
cfc Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 ^ FREESTYLE MUSIC PARK ANNOUNCES “EVERY DAY IS JULY 4th” PROMOTION THROUGH JULY 26 Reading is FUNdamental, kids.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 ^Hahahaha FREESTYLE MUSIC PARK ANNOUNCES “EVERY DAY IS JULY 4th” PROMOTION THROUGH JULY 26 Awesome! Thanks Robb. Nightly pyro and the food promotion sounds great!
Yellow Jacket Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Great News! I'll be there this Saturday. I'll try to post an update when I get back on the 20th.
The Disneylander Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 ^ FREESTYLE MUSIC PARK ANNOUNCES “EVERY DAY IS JULY 4th” PROMOTION THROUGH JULY 26 Reading is FUNdamental' date=' kids. [/quote'] I was just commenting that many people were speculating this was going to last longer than July 26.
monsterfan99 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I bet this gets extended even further than July 26. I'd like to see it go until August 21
Hercules Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Are we talking permanent? I don't really think they can survive on $8.68 per person... I don't really think they could survive at $40 a person, with nobody coming into the park. If they get 4 times the amount of people into the park with this promotion, that makes up the $40 regular pricing. With 4 times as many people in the park, that means they can make much more on concessions, thus making the park more profitable.
Homeboy23 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 And if they get enough people in the park during this promotion to enjoy their visit, those people might actually want to come back. Which in turn will give them more profit.
Hercules Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Ahhhhh. When operations management, marketing and economics join forces it is a beautiful thing.
larrygator Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 And the new owners don't have to charge nearly as much because their debt load is much lower than the original owners. But they have to convert first time guests into repeat guests somewhere down the road.
monsterfan99 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 The thing just just looks odd but makes seance is charging more later in the day. Odd how that it might work for them.
Hercules Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 It looks odd but makes total sense. The main attraction during the day is the beach. After the beach, people need something to do, so there will be a higher demand for other forms of entertainment later in the day, thus, being able to charge more. Also, charging less thus the day may help detract people from the beach and make a park trip last the whole day. Though, I'm not sure if there is enough in the park to warrent an entire day - as previously discussed many times, that is something that needs to be addressed.
