Hi everyone! Thanks for the incredible support you have shown us in the last two days!! A few things about tonight’s event:
First, the rides open at 4pm so come on down and get on some rides before the parade.
Second, the parade is still on, as of this moment, stepping off at 5:15. The forecast looks probable for getting the whole thing in before the rain.
Third, we have no control over Mother Nature and make ALL of our decisions based upon the safety of our supporters as well as our own members. In the event that the weather conditions create a safety issue we WILL shut down the rides and monitor the situation minute by minute with regards to staying open/restarting the rides.
Please plan accordingly for the predicted weather and understand that ALL PURCHASES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. This warning is posted on the ticket booth as well for those not able to see it on social media.
Also please note that wireless service is not great at the park and we will post any changes to our event on this page but it may not update in as timely a fashion as some would like.
A lot of hard work has gone into making this event possible this and every year and again, we appreciate everyone’s support!!
