Hoping for MNSSHP (Not a themed after hours again)!!

Also I like how they are promoting costume wearing on the 28th, I don't think I've ever seen them promote that.

I have not a clue if we’ll be getting Boo Bash or MNSSHP. Who is guessing what?

I think MNSSHP - they need the win. I may be a little baised about that though, but it makes sense to me. Now, pricing may be out-of control for it, but I think they need to bring back the full parties.

Yeah, I think they’ll bring back the offerings of MNSSHP but have it more in line with the crowds/cost of Boo Bash.

fingers crossed for a leak before thursday lol. I last did MNSSHP in 2019 and I CANNOT afford boo bash prices, but a slight increase from 2019 is understandable. Who am I kidding I KNOW they will charge boo bash prices. Supply and demand, sigh.

From things I'm hearing on different sites it sounds like Boo Bash it returning. Traditional parties are favorable amongst locals and die hards but the average guest really, really hates not being able to go to MK 2 of the 4 nights they are on property (many can't afford more than 4 nights these days).

As someone who's a bit of a ride weenie, I'm just looking forward to having my train back.

Yes, but it didn't cause MK to close early. It ran for 3 hours after close, though the closing times were still on the early side back then.

It's unfortunate they don't want to run the full parties.
