T’was the Night Before New Years…

T’was the night before New Years and all through Como Town
Not a ride was running and the Cotton Candy machines were silent.
While Will and I (Bri) had just settled down for warm cup of hot coco (it’s -3 below out here)
When out in the park there arose such a clatter we sprang from our desk chairs to see what was the matter.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a slew of Como Town Crew with all of their maintenance gear
I knew in that moment that spring was on its way
But how can that be when it’s so cold, dreary, and gray?

They spoke not a word, but went straight to work
Painting, fixing, assembling and cleaning up all this murk!
Before we knew it—it was here—the happiest time of the year,
The 2011 Como Town season had arrived, and we all let out a loud cheer!

I woke up with a smile, it was just a dream but I sprang to my feet
Let’s make this daydream a reality — boy will it be neat!
I gave my team a call, it’s time to make history
Just wait to see what we unravel, after all it’s one heck of a mystery!

And I heard them exclaim as they let out a squeal, “YIPPE, See you when Como Town opens!”

Some Very “BIG” Ideas for 2011!

Some may say it’s the holiday season, others may say it’s too cold to think of anything, while I say it’s time to plan the 2011 Como Town season. But this year instead of just thinking about 2011, I felt it would be best to think of the “big picture!” How can we impact our guests in a large way? And how can we increase the fun? Well thanks to my recent trip to Orlando at the 2010 IAAPA trade show I have some very “BIG” ideas….

Starting out on a small scale let’s focus on some of the items Como Town visitors suggested:

1. Better queuing lines -   I couldn’t agree more! This coming season 2011 you’ll notice easier to follow and better organized queuing stations making your wait time hopefully much shorter.
2. Easier to understand point packages and costs – We are currently creating the 2011 ride packages with you in mind, making it easier to understand, and more affordable for everyone – especially large families. Stay tuned for family packages and passes!
3. Open late for working parents – You spoke and we listened! A lot of parents work late and want to be able to enjoy Como Town with your kids, so coming in 2011 look for extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays.
4. More activities and programs for kids and families – After hearing the importance of enrichment activities and kids’-only activities we are bringing back some old favorites and adding some fun new activities for everyone. Look for “Parent Date Nights,” Mother’s Day Tea parties, Como Town camp-outs, and more!

But now for the really fun stuff you’re all wondering about, the RIDES! While I don’t like to spoil any surprises I will say that we are working on a fun new attraction for everyone to enjoy this season, but stay tuned for the BIGGEST addition happening in 2012, we’ll have you swirling, screaming, and climbing to all new heights! Watch for sneak peaks into the 2011 season, and check out a few of the photos from our 2010 Orlando trip!

Warm wishes,
