Its always busy Thursday night out here...Wednesday too, the schools are out in full force....the youngin's have no park etiquette...because no one takes the time to let them know...they just punch them out accidently....I know you don't mean to bitch, and I'm sorry for your experience...but, In the grand scheme...No one has more right to be in the park than anyone else...unless they are purposely causing a problem with flow..or they simply have no clue..the park staff are supposed to be watching for this, and talking to everyone not following suit...I will be talking to the Park guys about this rest assured..
As for going to Lakeridge next year...do what you must.
Yes, the comp should be good...I've got 2 bags of Swag now, plus whatever comes tomorrow and then the cash generated from entry.
I can't guarantee that everyone will get a prize...but the winners and others will do alright...
