Important Credit Information: We've updated our credit structure from 1 Credit = $.50 to 1 Credit = $1.00, but rest assured—all of your old cards and Easter Sale items still hold the same dollar value, just with simplified credit amounts to match our new structure and user-friendly cashless system. For example, the Carousel Ride last year was 8 Credits ($4 in value), and this year it is 4 Credits ($4 in value). Any cards purchased before 2025 can be transferred onto a new card at the Amusement Park during operating hours. 

The most important thing to note is that your old cards have the exact same dollar value as they always have, we've just updated our credit structure. You are not losing any value on these items and we did not just double the price and lower the credits!
