No, students must complete 600 or 800 minutes of recreational reading. This means NO homework, class assignment or required reading.
No, students can only earn one ticket each, even if they complete more than the required minutes of recreational reading.
No, teachers can only receive one ticket each.
Tickets cannot be used for group events or school outings. Tickets are for individual or family visits only.
Schools can set the time frame for their Roaring Reader program, keeping in mind that registration is around Dec 1-15, and completed forms are due back to the waterpark by mid-April.
Roaring Springs will distribute the tickets to the participating schools in beginning of May. Tickets will be given to the students by the coordinator at the school.
Okay, so it’s not always easy making a call on whether or not to open a waterpark based on the weather forecast… especially not in Idaho!
Our management team had to decide on Monday whether or not to open for our final Saturday & Sunday (Sept 18-19). The forecast was unseasonably cool at that time.
A lot goes into properly and safely opening a waterpark, including scheduling staff, ordering food, heating and treating the water, and much more. It basically takes five days of preparations.
Despite the fact that Saturday’s forecast has now improved (87 and windy on Saturday, and 60 and rainy on Sunday), we unfortunately cannot reverse course to open on Saturday.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
We thank you for an amazing 2021 waterpark season, and are excited to see you on opening day, May 7, 2022!
