“It’s not just to take care of the property and add new experiences. There’s a substantial amount going to Title I schools,” he said. We’ll be offering programs at no cost, including transportation to many of the Title I schools. There’s a huge educational focus of these dollars to allow for our outreach to expand.”
The attraction also plans to add staff to “improve our guest experience,” Protze said.
