Mark Moore is the Vice President and General Manager of Gulf Islands Waterpark in Gulfport, Mississippi. With nearly 30 years of experience in the water park industry, Mark started his career as a lifeguard and has since played a pivotal role in developing operational efficiencies and guest experience strategies. Gulf Islands Water Park, which opened just weeks before Hurricane Katrina in 2005, has grown into a regional attraction, drawing visitors from across the Gulf Coast. In this interview, Mark talks about cabanas as daytime hotels, balancing demand with dynamic pricing, and free soft drinks. Cabanas as Daytime Hotels “I said to a friend who operates a park with over 100 cabanas, ‘So you're a daytime hotel,' and he kind of cocked his head at me and said, ‘I never thought about it that way.'” Mark shared an insightful perspective on the role cabanas play in the water park experience. He compared them to hotel rooms, emphasizing how guests use them as a home base for relaxation, much like a hotel stay. The average length of a hotel stay, when excluding sleeping hours, is similar to the average duration of a visit to a water park—around four to five hours. With this in mind, Gulf Islands Water Park has considered adding amenities typically found in hotels, such as towels, cushioned seating, and concierge-style service, to elevate the cabana experience. Recognizing cabanas as more than just an upcharge but rather a premium hospitality experience has allowed them to enhance guest satisfaction and increase demand for these spaces. Balancing Demand with Dynamic Pricing “It took about two years to convince ownership, but once we did, we saw our weekday attendance grow by 8 to 10%, while peak weekend crowds eased up by about 2 to 3%.” Mark discussed the journey of implementing dynamic pricing at Gulf Islands Water Park, a process inspired by his experience in hotel management. The idea was initially met with hesitation, but after demonstrating how businesses across various industries use demand-based pricing to influence consumer behavior, ownership came on board. The result has been a more evenly distributed attendance pattern, reducing strain on peak days while incentivizing visits on traditionally slower weekdays. The messaging around dynamic pricing has been carefully framed to highlight guest value—focusing on the savings of visiting during less crowded periods rather than the higher cost of peak days. Over time, guests have embraced the model, with many now purchasing tickets in advance to secure the best possible rate. Free Soft Drinks “We had done everything we could to speed up our food service, but then we realized the biggest bottleneck was people deciding on drinks. Offering free soft drinks eliminated that completely.” Inspired by Holiday World's long-standing free soft drink program, Gulf Islands Water Park introduced complimentary fountain drinks as a way to improve efficiency and enhance guest experience. The results were immediate—food and beverage revenue increased by 20% in the first year, and the overall guest experience improved as wait times at food stands significantly decreased. Instead of bottlenecks forming as guests debated drink choices, they now receive their food quickly and grab a drink at self-serve stations. While there were initial operational challenges, such as managing cup waste, the overall benefits far outweighed the drawbacks. The move has been a major marketing win, with guests frequently citing free drinks as a key perk of visiting the park. Gulf Islands Water Park continues to evolve by embracing innovative operational strategies and guest-centric enhancements. To learn more about the park, visit gulfislandswaterpark.com.

Casual, brutal contradictions fill up Mister Goblin's mind. From the forced cheer of “Holiday World” to the military discount at the fireworks store and the healing balm of Sly and the Family Stone's “Que Sera Sera” soundtracking the depths of the pandemic, BUNNY, Mister Goblin's newest album, lives with paradoxes. And that expands to the music, with bandleader Sam flipping from fluttering falsetto to soaring screams on a dime, while the instrumentation mutates from post-hardcore breakdowns to swelling country odes to Netflix and chillin'. If it all sounds like too much, too ambitious, rest assured, Mister Goblin handles it with natural grace. Living with those contradictions makes BUNNY feel startlingly vulnerable, and, just as importantly, vitally human. We chatted with Sam below.

With a career that spans over two decades, Chris has held various leadership roles in theme parks across the United States, from his early days at The Great Escape in Lake George, New York, to key positions at Holiday World and Splashin' Safari, Elitch Gardens, and Six Flags parks. Story Land, where Chris currently oversees operations, is a beloved family destination known for its charming attractions and natural beauty. In this interview, Chris talks about his storied career, saying yes, and celebrating 70 years. A Storied Career "I'd say it's been a very storied career.” Starting as a ride operator right after high school at The Great Escape, Chris never imagined his summer job would lead to a lifelong career in the theme park industry. Over the years, he climbed the ranks, holding various operational roles that provided a deep understanding of park management. Chris's career took him across the country, from the Northeast to the Midwest, and eventually to Texas, where he worked for Six Flags over Texas and Adventureland in Iowa. His journey is marked by adaptability, a willingness to take on new challenges, and a passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences. Saying Yes "Say yes, or if you have to say no to something, have a really good reason." Throughout his career, Chris has embraced opportunities that came his way, whether it was taking on new responsibilities, moving across the country, or stepping into leadership roles during times of transition. This mindset has allowed him to gather a wealth of experience in different facets of park operations, from ride safety to food and beverage management. Chris believes that by saying yes and being open to new experiences, he has been able to grow both professionally and personally, leading him to his current role at Story Land. Celebrating 70 Years “There's so much charm that has been maintained over the years,” The park, nestled in the White Mountains, is known for its family-friendly attractions and unique blend of natural beauty and whimsical theming. To honor the 70th anniversary, Story Land has introduced new attractions like the Moo Lagoon water play area, while also preserving beloved features like animatronics and classic rides. Chris discusses the importance of balancing innovation with nostalgia, ensuring that the park remains a cherished destination for generations to come.   For more information about Story Land, visit their website.
