Looks lie they are making even more use of The Plaza, and as said by VRTP, they are wanting to spread night events across the two parks now that SW has the facilities

Enjoy all your favorite rides.  Jet Rescue is closed, so who fancies a go on Storm or Battle boats at night in pyjamas?  Hopefully the kids enjoy it and they raise money for whatever it is, but seems like a strange move, particularly this year.

On the seaway at night in the middle of winter... 

the forethought astounds me. Will likely be under 10 degrees. 

Kids will need more than PJs... 

all tickets come with free pneumonia

There's always SeaVip....oh, ok, well then, why not Vikin....ah, umm, there's always the Pirate.....shit. Ok, how about taking a nice trip on the Sky Wa...... ok never mind.

I am surprised VRTP don't want to share the night events across all 3 of their parks. Maybe bringing back Dive N movies at WNW.

They do have all the animal enclosures which I think will have to be the focus as they are lacking in the rides department.

Won't the kids mostly be on the Nick Land rides though?

[joz]

Yeah, thats why I say hope they enjoy it because adults who go will probably be left feeling underwhelmed by the whole thing.  Keep up!

I would be surprised if Storm is even open. Battle boats.. Not a chance!

The rides should be restricted to the kid's area which, for such an event I think will suit so long as the target Audience is young families.

Mid August is an odd choice though.. hopefully SW has some good gas heaters and other cosy nooks to keep Guests comfortable? I can also picture the very young (target audience) nodding off well before 10, leaving the Park dead by 9.

Not really. I attended the one at MW last year and as you can see from my pics below, the majority of attendees were teenagers and young adults. Not many kids in sight. 

Having the party restricted to the kid's rides would not work, as most would be too big for them. 

[MickeyD]

Fair enough @Theme Park Girl, my incling is that they are going for an entirely different Audience for this PJ Party. SW is a vastly different Beast than MW in it's current form.

As an Adult with no kids I have 0% interest in this event and I'm sure I am not alone on that😃

True. You are not alone but i also know a few kid free adults that have been multiple times to the PJ Party events.

[Reanimated35]

I would have done it if it was on a weekend and there wasn't indecent exposure laws. 

[Santa07]

I hope VRTP take this as a sign that night events at Sea World are never going to work as well as they would at MW with the park's current state.

Otherwise you would have exposed yourself to kids?

I didn't think you had anything to expose.
