To Nicole & Zachary, I guess I'm one of those people that has what is referred to as a ridiculously low cost for my yearly pass. To go with the same level pass I currently have which includes free parking the new membership will cost me well over $100 more a year, each! You call that fair? I don't!
And, for what it is worth....I don't go to shows (too loud) or ride the rides (too old) at BG. I go to enjoy the park and the surroundings.
I'm in a bit of a quandary because I have already promised some friends we will be there this year. Since my yearly payment is due next month...I guess I'm not going to be able to renew my pass from what you are telling me.
I find it a cheap shot that I had to renew my Brauhaus membership this past fall and now I either lose that money or pay through the nose to use it. As you can guess....I'm not happy! This whole realignment is meant to punish people like us who have been loyal customers to BG for 30 years. I used to come for the day, buy my food and drink and leave. You can rest assured there will be no food and drink beyond what I have already paid for this year. I am seriously considering buying a reduced rate single day ticket, picking up my stein and leaving BG for good. I guess that is what they want!
