A lot of folks have been wondering what happened to the inner tubes at Splash!?
To be frank, the cost of inner tubes increased exponentially in the last few years, with the annual cost fluctuating between 5-14 times what it used to be. With this price increase, innertubes have been out of reach for the district, especially given how often they need to be replaced.
Inner tube prices aren't the only example of rising costs. An upward trend in the cost of goods and services has led Willamalane to a difficult spot, where expenses have outpaced revenues in the last two years. To address these budget gaps, the district has strategically cut more than $1 million from its operating budget and taken other steps to increase efficiency and expand revenues.
We know that for many people, the inner tubes are an important part of what makes Splash so much fun. As the district navigates rising costs, we will continue to explore solutions. In the meantime, thank you for your patience and understanding.
