Splish Splash Waterpark Fee Settlement: Who Could Claim

Who may qualify for this settlement?

• The Settlement Class includes people in the United States who bought electronic Splish Splash tickets through the defendant’s website during the stated period and were charged processing fees.
• The purchase period runs from August 29, 2022 through March 5, 2024.

How is the cash payment calculated, and why is it not a set amount?

• The settlement fund is $1,000,000, but it is not all available for claims.
• The fund also pays settlement administration and notice costs, any court-approved lawyers’ fees and costs, and any court-approved service award for the class representative.
• Each approved claimant’s share is based on the total processing fees that person paid. The notice does not give a fixed dollar amount.

What do I need to do to request a payment?

• To seek money, complete and submit a Claim Form by August 10, 2026.
• An online claim must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. EST that day. A paper claim must be postmarked by that date.
• The notice describes online and mailed Claim Forms, but it does not say whether records, receipts, or other supporting documents must be submitted with the form.

How would an approved payment be sent?

• If an approved claim is paid, the claimant may choose PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or a check.
• If no electronic method is selected, payment will be by check.
• Checks expire 180 days after they are issued.

When might payments be sent?

• The court must first approve the settlement.
• The notice says eligible class members with claims approved by the Settlement Administrator will receive payment 60 days after court approval.
• The listed hearing date alone does not mean the settlement has been approved or that payments will be sent on that date.

What is the settlement’s future ticket-price disclosure change?

• The defendant agreed to keep its Splish Splash ticket-purchase process in one of two forms: no ticket fees, or a clear display of the total ticket price including fees before a ticket is selected.
• This commitment lasts unless ACAL § 25.07(4) is amended, repealed, or otherwise invalidated.
• This is a change to future ticket purchase practices, not an additional cash payment that a claimant receives.

What happens if I exclude myself from the settlement?

• Leaving the settlement is called excluding yourself. A request must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. EST on May 26, 2026.
• An exclusion request must identify the case, state that the person wants to be excluded, and include the person’s name, address, signature, and the required purchase and fee statement.
• Someone who excludes themselves cannot receive money from this settlement, but keeps any rights they otherwise have to sue about the claims in this case.

How can I object or ask to speak at the hearing?

• A class member who stays in the settlement may object by filing a written objection with the court and sending copies to Class Counsel and the defendant’s counsel by May 26, 2026.
• The objection must give the reasons and supporting materials, along with the other information listed in the notice.
• A person who wants to speak at the hearing must say so in the objection and meet the notice’s filing and mailing requirements.
