BuddyChrist Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I would really hope that they consider either cutting the price of parking or tickets cause right now combined, they make up a ridiculous $80 before you even walk into the park!

JetsDevs4Lyf Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I think with the way things are going right now for a lot of people, things like this may be the only way to meet attendance expectations for the year as a lot of people are not going to lay down money for a trip to the theme park when necessities are becoming so much more expensive!

The Master Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) SFOG was the SF park that started the locker nazi crap and they are supposedly more strict than SFGAdv's locker nazis. So they probably pissed off a lot of the locals around there which would hurt their attendance. Last year they had a free admission day which caused the highways to be jammed there for miles LOL.

JetsDevs4Lyf Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Can you imagine the disaster that would cause at GAdv? Poor Jackson would be in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkridedan Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Pleasing people after removing 24 rides in 10 years? A price reduction would be horrible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
