End of Season!

Good Afternoon Admissions team members! WHEW! Can you believe the 2009 season is over?? It seems like just yesterday we were stocking maps in the turnstile house, processing season passes, and hustling & bustling out in the booths & tolls. On behalf of Kristin, Sara, Jojo, Admissions Supervisors, & Snoogals we want to THANK YOU ALL for such an awesome season! You guys did a great job and our department would just not have been the same without each and every one of you! We hope to see you all at our rehire event in 2010!!

We would like to congratulate Robert for winning the ADMISSIONS WII EXTRAVAGANZA! Robert sold the most 2010 season passes during two of our weekends. The person who sold the most 2010 season passes each week had their name placed into a hat and today the winner was pulled. So congrats once more Robert!

After receiving his WII Robert proceeded to jump around the Operations porch in excitement for several minutes. Last time he was seen he was cartwheeling his way over to the preferred parking lot. Way to go Robert! Thanks to all of you who participated in this contest!

Although the park has not even been closed for 24 hours we have received several e-mails from our Admissions mascot Snoogals McGoogals. We decided to post one on here,

Dear Admissions,
It is with the uttermost sorrows that we must say goodbye for the winter. I am so sad this season is over that I resorted to eating peanuts all day. I will miss all of you dearly. I will miss mopping up the sticky soda on the floors of the selling booths after cans have been collected. I will miss sweeping up those little squares on the back of the sticky part of vip wristbands in the outermall. I will miss the season pass printers running out of ink and no one knowing how to replace the cartridge. I will miss lugging 20 pounds worth of wet towels & backpacks from water park guest relations to lost and found. I will miss the way the registers would freeze in the middle of a transaction when I would have a line out to the bridge. I will miss the way guests would ignore the "please do not place diapers in the trash" sign on the trash cans in the baby care center. I will miss guarding the water the cooler in guest relations. But above all I will miss all of my 2009 Admissions team members. You all made this season spectacular and I can only hope 2010 is just as grand! I will be wandering the park from time to time during the winter so make sure you check back here for some updates from me. I will miss you all and I hope that none of you forget me!!
