I drove 2 and a half hours to get to this place today to ride 1 ride. Checked the website before i left and it did not indicate limited rides like some of the other days do. So we decided to drive down today. It might sound silly but when you are a ride enthusiast who drives hours to enjoy something only to arrive and the ride is closed its lame. Talked to guest services and they told us that they dont have enough staff to operate the ride. The girl offered to ask her manager but then after speaking to him told us theres nothing she could do. She seemed sincere in her apology i just feel like we should have been offered something like some free tickets or something for our trouble. I get that its the off season but still the website should be updated.
