Water Park Reveal Shop

Just saw this post, thought it would be a great route trip until I read the stipulations. I suppose there are a small minutiae of certain Shoppers who would not mind not being able to stay. But seriously, drive all that way in summer weather, pay that admission price, reveal your secret identity and then not be permitted to stay and enjoy the water park?!

Reminds me of the casino shop that wants you to use "xxx" amount of your own money to gamble (match play then reimbursed for lodging, etc.) Probably have to wait several months to get paid. If you lose, you lose. But if you win more than a few hundred dollars, they get to keep the Jackpot?!!!

Show of hands who would still be happy with that?

If it's the one that's primarily evaluating the promotion of a soft drink at various places in the water park, then I'm pretty sure that they send you a wristband or a letter that gets you a wristband for admission.
Companies need to think like that, they could build big reputation of generosity, for a few pennies in marketing by offering us tix to drive up to their rural theme park as part of the SWAG! Me thinks maties, that the middlemen are snagging them and we would catch them enjoying the tix to actually check the park out. I can see a Schedulers & Editor chummming up. We won't blow your cover, but next time don't give us that "Shopper is forbidden to stay and enjoy!" For godsaskes, who is their right mind would take this crazy sort of shop, if you can't go have fun. I'd pay extra, book another night sightsee.

So fess up middle men and women or get an extra pair or two for the family or friends and of course reward the Shopper with not only the ability to have a gathering, but make it real like anniversary or birthday, etc. That would be testing as real park goers and see how well the park attendants do. Poolside cabanas anyone? cha, cha, cha!

If you reward us good, we would be able to accept bigger assignments , like the hotel and casino shops! You would see amazing depth of reports.
Not sure of what to say after that, but to clarify my earlier post, the guidelines said that while the wristband gets you in, you cannot stay to play - just do the shops in the facility/park and go.
I have seen shops for amusement places like this that want you to be an annual pass holder so you can go in on your own dime and then evaluate the drink or whatever while you are there. They pay $10 total while the cost for parking alone is $15.00. These fly off the shelves of the msc. When I had an annual pass I considered it as I could at least offset my cost of driving there. But these did not say you could not stay. What does the shop you are talking about have as a fee? It might be worthwhile to some one who lives fairly close by or is dropping off their teenagers who do not yet drive for a day of fun at the park. Many people around here do that at the large parks and then go to a close by mall until time to pick the kiddies up again.
Now I don't gamble anymore but if I did and di one of those casino shops where anything you win above said amount you can't keep and I won above said amount I would either say I won less than said amount and enter report or if I won say a jackpot I would not report doing the shop at all and ask to reschedule shop as if i had not been able to complete. As for the waterpark are they really going to know if you stayed and enjoyed the park?

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.
IIRC, the casino shops do require that you have a players card which will track your winnings/losses. It's much easier to just not take the shops that require you to forfeit your winnings.

A water park that wants you to enter, do the required shop (I don't know what that is b/c I haven't seen it) and then leave??? That is total BS!!! Why could you not stay? That is ridiculous.
Why do I keep giggling when I scroll by the "Water Park" and "Reveal" in this title?

@Bearclaw14
These are indoor waterparks at resorts, and you're evaluating the concession stand in the waterpark portion as well as the various other concessions at the resort, including the restaurant(s).
Each stand counts as a "shop," with the pay being a set price per shop. Mine had 4 or 5 shops, with each shop bonused.
You're reimbursed for the required snacks/souvenirs/meals as well.
I did feel pretty silly wearing business casual into the waterpark area, complete with wristband, and standing in line for a soft pretzel with everyone else dripping wet in swimsuits. Could I have stood out any more? Is that why the manager somehow magically appeared at each and every shop before I reached the counter?
Did I still get paid?
Yes, I did.
Was the fully reimbursed homemade fudge from the candy shop made with pure ambrosia and nectar imported from Mt. Olympus?
Yes, it was.
You have to dress business casual? How about wear a dress? I'm sure that wouldn't work for a guy but just a suggestion.
It worked for Klinger...but didn't get him the Section 8.

I wore what I was wearing for a route. Wouldn't have mattered what I was wearing... I'm sure the check-on desk passed the word that I was on site when I presented the LOA in order to secure the wristband. All quite silly, but as long as they were paying me double to get it done, I was glad to participate in the charade.
And eat fudge.
