Child, that just doesn't make sense.
I'm sure it's probably a special reduced rate for that ride only, for that weekend only.
Not that that will be the only ride operating.
Use a little common sense.

well it does make sence since this weekend there is the airshow so they need to compete with that and of course the booster should be there soon so they will need the space.

Disappointing if it is only around for the weekend, would be a real draw if it was there for the season.
