Great Hershey Park news.

Dollywood does it

Geauga Lake offered free parking one late August Saturday in 2000 because so many rides were closed (the entire waterpark, Wolf Bobs, Big Dipper, Double Loop, Mind Eraser, and several flats).

Good day for marathon Villian riding though.

Yeah, Hershey isn't losing money, just making more. Why else would they do it?

Tacky or not, it works; I've got:

1.) several Montu fridge magnets (purchased after a very thrilling first time ride in '98)

2.) a complete set of Tower of Terror "hotel" supplies (towel, tumbler, ash tray, shot glass) - a bit embarassing, I know......

3.) Alpengeist stuff (magnets, shot glasses, etc); and I don't even like the coaster that well

It's effective! If a park can earn more of my money it must be working well for them.

Can anyone here honestly say they ever had a severe lapse of willpower and actually made an impulse buy while exiting a ride?
======================================
I myself can easily walk through the shops. They have you go through shops on the exits of Viper and Superman at SFGAm.
But.................. my 8 year old daughter seems to have the radar eyes on merchandise when going through these shops. Guess what happens when daddy gets the sad puppy dog eyes? Daddy gives in. :)
o.k. I have no willpower. :)

I personally like to buy a t-shirt from every park I go to (assumeing of course they have a coaster I like) and usually the store after the ride is the place to get your coaster ts.

Just got back from Hershey and I admit I rode the Hershey Factory Tour, why, FREE CHOCOLATE! And you know what that store afterwards is great, they sell tons of stuff you cant get where im from and honestly who doesnt want more choclate in their lives :)

Giftshops on park exits suck. You know why, because when the park closes for the night its impossible to get out of the park *cough*Great Escape*cough cough*.

It's also hard in HP NOT to want anything from their giftshop? I mean...who could deny CHOCOLATE!?!? Especially when it comes in 5 pound bars!!
