They count the sky ride as a thrill ride...
Maybe it’s being sped up.
I can dine with a monkey?
KVB is now inside as opposed to being outside. That will be a welcome change.
I doubt it
InvadR hasn’t had a full maintenance break since the park reopened in august last year… it was supposed to happen in late august/early September this year but because of HOS they pushed it back.
Hours are too short to make it worthwhile for anyone except locals that have a membership. 6 hours is not worth travel or buying a ticket. Hard to see how this turns a profit if it doesn’t bring in actual ticket sales.
No train, which is one if the best rides for low temps. No major entertainment which indoor entertainment is also a good thing to have for low temps.
Also they advertise lights but close at 6! In January it just gets dark around 6! Daylight gets longer after Dec 20.
I guess they don’t want to stick their neck out but between the hours and the chance of having nothing to do if it’s too cold, I don’t see much attendance.
As much as I would love to go a theme park in Jan, the probability that there will be little to do and the short hours isn’t worth the travel expense.

Given their limited openings last year, they seemed to angle at the local folks without passes that would come out for a beer and a coaster ride - I'm guessing they saw enough ticket sales plus in park spending to decide to continue operating that way.
Dine with Animals is still in the Festhaus but looks like the general animal show is in the Globe theater now.
If this event had a $25 ticket price and $10 parking, I could see non-membership locals maybe attending.
If I remember correctly, they did similar limited events last year for i think $45 plus parking
That is correct but they also still had a fairly tight capacity limit. With a much higher capacity it might be a better idea for a cheaper gate and trying to get more in park sales.
