There are only a few things that can shut down our display – Lack of electricity and weather!

Lack of Electricity

If, for any reason, we lose power to the park – we have to shut down the display. (What would a display that uses lights in so many ways be like without electricity to turn those lights on?)

Weather

Rain (lots of it) – We use a lot of electrical cords, and they are everywhere. If we get enough rain (as we did in 2015), then the park does flood. When this happens, we have to shut everything down. Thankfully this phenomenon has only happened a couple of times in our history.

Snow and Ice – More likely to shut us down is heavy snow and ice. (This has happened several times over the years, such as 4 days in 2019.) The drop behind the dam is pretty steep and deep. When it gets slippery cars (and tow trucks) can get stuck down behind the dam. There is also the fact that several times in the mile long drive, the road comes close to the lake. (Literally within feet!)

We monitor the roads when we have this type of weather. When our road treatments don’t work, we have to shut things down for the safety of all.

We hope you understand and will join us after we clear the roads and certify that they are passable.

Watch our announcements on this website

We will try to post announcements on this website, and Facebook, when it is necessary to shut things down. Watch for information posted to the scrolling message at the top of the main page.

Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to seeing you.
