$15 to get a VIP seat for fireworks?

...but I couldn't eat $15 worth of that meal, $60 for my family. Oh, and a view that was free last year apparently. What a bargain!

Then don't buy the VIP package and enjoy the free view from the 98% of the park grounds the fireworks are visible from.

^ We didn't, we watched Lakesides's. :P

JUnderhill, I am glad they are making the most of that previously underutilized beach! Before Kinzel, the beach was open with bathhouses connected to the park.

I'm sure he liked the beach - whether or not he ever realized he could make money with it is a different story.

And that's the thing with Kinzel, he never realized how much money he could be making with new opportunities on existing attractions. He was only interested in raising prices on items that already worked like food, parking, etc.
