Tough summer at the theme park: Snapshot of a derailed economy....

[marmar]

I ran across this ad from Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Va.



Adult Ticket, Kids Price!


Get two days at Busch Gardens—for the price of one kid’s ticket.

Ready to feel like a kid again? Right now, Virginia residents can buy an adult’s ticket to Busch Gardens for the exact same price as a child’s ticket. Plus, your second visit is absolutely free! You’ll experience twice the adventure. Play for a whole day; then come back for a totally free visit. It’s the perfect way to spend more time exploring the park—from the free-falling roller coasters and rides, to the fun shows and rockin’ concerts. Kids can come back for a free second visit, too! But remember, this special offer ends August 31 and is only available to Virginia residents.
Go ahead ­— get your ticket now and lock in your savings.

1. Saw a similar campaign up here in northern Illinois for Great America.

When people can't even afford a local vacation, you know things are truly bad. (Well, we knew already.)

2. Going to be there tomorrow...

We have left over season tickets from last year that are still good. Taking my son tomorrow....should be a nice day in the "Old Dominion".

5. Isn't That "Kings Dominion"

I've been several times as a kid in the 70's. My first experiences at a real amusement park. After that I visited every park I could.
