Comments on: Cypress Gardens Announces New Pricing http://blog.winterhavenchamber.com/general-announcements/cypress-gardens-announces-new-pricing/ The official blog of the Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:31:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nancy Creech http://blog.winterhavenchamber.com/general-announcements/cypress-gardens-announces-new-pricing/comment-page-1/#comment-49045 Nancy Creech Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:45:52 +0000 http://blog.winterhavenchamber.com/?p=956#comment-49045 My grandson gave my husband & myself annual passes in 2007. The park was closed for awhile during the next year, so the tickets were stamped valid through December 2008. However, when the park closed in November, we lost out on the rest of the year. We would like to buy annual passes again. My question is does any of our unused time in '08 count towards our new '09 prices? Even if we don't get any credit for our passes, it will not stop us from coming to see what you have done with the park. We have been coming for years and we liked it the way it used to be, especially at Christmas time. It is great that someone thought enough of the park to save it. Thank you in advance for any help you give. Nancy Creech - Dade City, FL My grandson gave my husband & myself annual passes in 2007.

It will be located in the vicinity of the large circular area where the large ferris wheel was located. This was the traditional parking for the Gardens before 2004. The management has said there will not be a charge for parking at the present time. When the new parking area opens it will be convenient to both the entrance of the Gardens and the water park.

The prices before were just too high especially during this recession. I believe you had the same principle. Lower pricing, more customers, growing business.

If that is the case, then how much will parking be to just go to the water park? I only want to come to the water park with my family without the extra long walk I had to take before of walking through the park to get to the water area.

The park closed in November and announced it would not have rides in the future. Advance publicity prior to the March reopening noted that the ski show might not be performed on a regular basis and that concerts and boat rides would be introduced in the future. The fact that your expectations were based on out-of-date information is not your fault and I'm certain the park will make this right. I believe that a year from now the Gardens will be back better than ever. In the meantime I also believe they will put systems in place to resolve disappointments such as you have suffered. Penny,

He was very nice and assured me I would receive a full refund. The clerk printed me a refund slip and I thought all was taken care of. I did fill out a comment sheet and mailed it to the park but never received a reply. Yesterday I received my bank statement and noted Cypress Gardens had not refunded the money as promised. I e-mailed the park and have received no reply. This is certainly no way to run a business. I have told everyone not to waste their time traveling to Cypress Gardens-there is no ski show, no boat ride, no concerts, and the gardens are in poor condition. I will certainly not return myself.

Are we going to be given three months of entrance this year to make up the difference? <em>The park has stated that your annual pass will be honored for a specific length of time past its original expiration date. Since passes were issued with varying dates of expiration based on the date of purchase, you will need to contact or visit the park to determine the actual length of time your pass will be honored. In any case the park is committed to seeing that those with annual passes get a total of 12 months of accessibility. </em> I am a season pass holder and lost the last few months of last year.
