Its very short notice ^^'
And passholders usually are somewhere nearby-ish to the park so it felt like an odd choice (but nice offer all the same)

I would like to see the park focusing on the hotel benefits for annual pass holders. I think it’s misleading because they want Ap holders to book rooms however you’re not allowed into the park earlier like other hotel guests if you do book a room because the room rate is bed and breakfast. It’s a bit of a con really because the whole point of booking the room is because we already have the park tickets.

Think they are having more empty spaces than anticipated and got some interest (but annoyance with the notice) with the first offer.

It be good if it was extended into July and August as the prices are so expensive during the school holidays.

I wonder why it wasn't offered today?

Think more passholders would have gone today or tomorrow compared to Friday. I had to work to 1pm yesterday and by the time I got home and ate I didn’t get into the park to 3pm.

It’s a great offering to passholders - it just felt very last minute. It wasn’t communicated to non-pass holders so this morning there was confusion from people not being allowed on.
Even at the opening show, they didn’t mention it.

Yeah, just comparing to the wave which had passholders as the first riders. Given it was in school holidays there would have been a greater proportion of pass holders that may have been accessible.

Did anyone else get the marketing ad for the competition for the hotel stay?
They wanted passholder families to audition for an advert for the hotel with a the hook of a free stay.
We responded with a photo at the GoldRush Opening. The follow up letter did, to my eyes anyway, make it look like they casting the net a fair but wider and they wanted us to send a photo.
The second email put me right off to be honest, we had already sent a photo, and the suggestion that we could spend time in the park was just a bit boilerplate considering that all passholders could do this anyway.

I’m a child actor, so I could possibly do this, but I haven’t personally had an email.
I got that email yeah - doesn't apply to me though as I don't fit the target criteria.
It's an interesting choice to put it out to the passholders.

Ouch.
There is a lot of good will amongst Annual Pass HOlders but on occasion they seem to want to burn through it,
Although we are probably now at the high point of the target demographic (little lad is 9 next year) I was thinking on the ride home today that we may not actually renew next year.
