SeaWorld Parks offering new weather guarantee

Raincheck tickets are nothing new in the theme park industry. But SeaWorld's new guarantee covers more than just rainstorms and now covers extreme heat as well.

To get their free return ticket, guests can visit Guest Relations in the park or fill out a form online within one week of their visit. Return tickets must be used within 12 months of their original ticket.

So does this mean that they can no longer use weather as an excuse for missing attendance and financial projections?

Like I said, rainchecks have been around for decades, but I can't recall a park ever extending its weather guarantee to heat before.
