I think the age restriction suggestion has been beat to death. It is really separate from the upcharge discussion in my opinion. I don't think this would work, but still, I'd rather pay for HOS and get CT included. That is a fair trade for me.

It's absolutely not separate. The gist of the upcharge thing is to make it more like Tampa. Tampa is an adult event. Without an "adults only" restriction and houses/shows/attractions to match, what justification is there to charge as Tampa charges? There is none. (And I'm still not saying it should be restricted OR upcharge.)

all I'm saying is that this survey had nothing to do with age restrictions. I don't assume to know the exact reasoning behind this, but I doubt the main reason is to convince parents to leave their kids at home. Even the event in Tampa really doesn't care how old your kids are.

I think this is purely a way for them to make this a ticketed event with a bigger budget. Theoretically, you would be getting something bigger and better. Think an event from 6 to midnight, multiple good shows, bigger budget houses, and scarier. I'd pay for that. I mean honestly if they don't do something like this, in the long run they will end up charging more for passes or something along those lines.

this whole survey thing is probably just a way for them to gauge whether or not possible changes in the future would be palatable for the gp and passmembers.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

BTW, has anyone actually SEEN this survey? All of this speculation seems to be sourced to a single comment on their FB page. I haven't gotten one. I haven't really seen where anyone else has either.

Have you guys gotten it?

There's a screenshot, there's also an article somewhere which has a Busch Rep comments on the survey.

I read that, but I noticed he didn't comment specifically on this survey, just surveys in general.

Oh well, wonder why so few people have gotten it?

here's the link for the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ConcertSurveyP
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

I looked over the survey, and something just doesn't sit right with me about it. I've taken BGW's surveys before, and they have never looked that generic, or had a title like that. It is hosted on SurveyMonkey, like all of BGW surveys, but who's to say that some overzealous fan didn't create it?

I didn't want to say it, thanks :p Seems odd that this all came from a single source.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

I'm also skeptical, but I'd think BTT would have confirmed the survey's origins. but hey, who knows?

^ Like the park gets involved in anything that happens on their page.

Seems to me all it would have taken was a handful of more passmembers to get this, who are also active on their FB page, to blow this up into a much bigger issue there. It's been silent except for the original post and references to it. Like I said, seems odd...
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

^ Publicly they seem to like to pretend that sites like ours don't exist. Talking about it would only bring light to it.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

I meant the article that's from a local paper, not BTT. The park responded to a question about the survey, not debunked it.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

Hi y'all,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I just had a thought about this survey that I thought might be interesting. When you're done taking the survey, it redirects you back to the BG homepage. Having used SurveyMonkey in the past, I can say that redirection after a survey is only available with a PAID account. The free account that anyone can sign up for shows an add at the end of the survey. So that doesn't conclusively rule out the fact that a fan made it -- I agree that all the details don't seem to line up -- but it does seem like it could have, possibly, come from the park. Maybe an employee who's new to making surveys?
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

Even if this is a fake survey, can we possibly get a poll somewhere on this? It will be interesting to see what the majority of people on the site think.
