2019 Daily Attendance

Bigdog · March 25, 2019, 04:25:29 PM

We ended up going Sunday 3/17, Wednesday 3/20 and Saturday 3/23 arriving around 1 pm each day. Sunday the 17th was by far the busiest day of the 3.

Is YCW not a big thing now? I thought it was a big weekend.

Might be suffering the "Nobody goes any more because it's too crowded" syndrome. There were a ton of warnings of how crowded and how unruly the young crowd is......might be keeping a lot of the "locals" from attending that weekend.

You may be correct Jay. If that is happening, An they can prove that that "crowd" is hurting the ateendence, the PTB may want to rethink that whole weekend

It would have been a great weekend to go. Why didn't we go? Ycw. We made that mistake one time. They didn't care that my kids were 5. They cut in front of them anyway to ride the kiddie coaster. Now we avoid this weekend because I don't want to deal with that.

sanddunerider · April 08, 2019, 06:42:16 AM

Sunday the 7th. YCW -

total about 10,500...

Obviousdramatic · April 08, 2019, 08:28:19 AM

Its like herding sugared up 30 toddlers, who missed their nap, to the story circle. Where they must sit and listen respectable like to the orator of the story. And they cant go outside to play because its raining.

I dont dare attend this weekend.

I'm actually surprised the numbers are that low as well. I pretty much won't go YCW myself, even though I'd like to see some of the acts, because I don't like dealing with the crowds. It was a mixed bag when I worked there- there were some great people, but also a lot of pain in the necks, and it seemed most of the park employees felt about the same- the bad outweighing the good.

But I doubt that you'll see them change up. The acts this year weren't as big a name as ones they've had the past few years, and I know several of the regular contributors weren't there (e.g. Kanakuk camps/ Joe White) which might have had an impact, as well as the weather forecasts for Saturday in particular not sounding good until Saturday itself- I'm guessing that many that would have gone made other plans instead.

Now if they run into that 3-4 years in a row without any good explanation other than public perception of the crowd, then they might start to rethink it a little bit. But I doubt after one year that was off a bit.
