Twilight Ticket

I know that Cedar Fair has late admission tickets and it now looks like SEA has jumped on-board with the idea. Here is the link to the page. Here is the Link to the Blog post about it... It's been around for a couple of days... I'm surprised that no one has posted this yet.

I saw it but I didn't want to jump the gun. But perhaps we can place this in the deals thread, along with the fact water country now accepts the preschool pass.

If it is something new then it'll stay here for a few days.

I think it's about time BG offered a ticket like this; other parks have been doing it for ages.

It should atleast be half off. A family of 4 is still gonna spend over $200 going just on parking and tickets alone. Not worth it imo.

A little over twice that amount and that family of four could enjoy the park for an entire season. JMO

Well this does include dinner too (at least some what of a dinner)

Could attendance be slacking? Hmmm.

With a month (6 weeks?) of 100+ degree weather and nightly thunderstorms, is it a surprise attendance is slacking?

Looking at other regions with similar conditions... I wouldn't consider that the reason you know me

When you reach near capacity on a Tuesday or a Wednesday because it happens to be under 90 degrees for the first time in weeks (or when you have 12,000 people in the park on a Saturday because it 104 degrees), it's the weather that's impacting attendance. Trust me

I went wednesday evening and the overflow lot was half full so I kept driving. Last night after the storm was great weather and low crowds. As far as a twilight ticket I would never go that route. I live 5 hrs away an still bought 2 year dual park passes. It is much more cost effective. It just doesn't make sense to me to be within an evening drive to the park and not be a pass member.

I will take your word on that one then, sir! Heading to 100* air in Florida for jam packed parks in two weeks

I am waiting for its next part......

Just got back from Hershey last weekend, and they do a deal like this....

get to the park 2 and a half hours before close, pay for your ticket and parking then, and you get the next days admission and parking "free".

this might be a great idea during HOS...
