New Ticketing Process!
Majestic Midways is moving to a new ticketing process called Magic Money. If you've gone to the Great Frederick Fair, it is the same system.
Instead of "tickets", rides cost a certain number of "credits". Credits are purchased via a kiosk using cash (no change can be given), credit/debit, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Customers are given a reloadable/reusable wristband that holds all their credits. At each ride, the attendant will scan the wristband, and the appropriate amount of credits will be deducted. You can find out your credit balance by asking an attendant or by downloading the Magic Money app and creating an account. The app will also allow you to reload credits as you go and transfer credits from one wristband to another. Leftover credits will rollover and can be used the next day or even the next year! All-You-Can-Ride wristbands are still available. There is a $2 fee for each initial purchase of a wristband, but it is not charged when reloading.
There will be attendants to assist you in using the Magic Money system. Please note that this system is overseen entirely by the ride company. All questions and comments should be directed to the ride company. You can find their FAQ on their website.
*Our school-run foodstands do not use credits! Cash only at the MSS Food Stands*
While we don't know exactly which rides we will have each year, you can view all the rides available along with the number of credits they cost and height requirements on the Majestic Midway website.
ALL HANDS ON DECK!
The MSS Carnival has been a tradition for over 40 years. All net proceeds directly benefit Mother Seton School. Our Carnival Committee spends hours and hours organizing and planning. We are asking our families, alumni, and friends to be our heroes and please give a few hours of their time to help during Carnival Week. The more volunteers we have, the less work for everyone overall!
Opportunities to be a Hero:
Setup will take place on the Saturday before the carnival begins, beginning at 9am and continuing as long as volunteers can stay! Setup will continue on the first night at 3pm, depending on how much can be done on Saturday.
Various Carnival Stands, nightly 6pm-10pm: Bingo, Grill, Funnel Cakes, Drinks, Pit Beef, French Fries, Dishwashing, Check-in, and Door monitoring. Volunteers will receive meal tickets.
Cleanup and Tear Down: Kitchen cleanup begins as soon as the last attendee leaves on Saturday night, generally around 11pm. We will complete clean up on Sunday morning, starting around 9:00am. The more people on hand to help, the less time we will be there getting everything cleaned and taken down!
If you are unable to volunteer your time but would still like to show your support, a monetary donation is always appreciated! You can send checks made payable to Mother Seton School, Attn: Carnival, 100 Creamery Rd, Emmitsburg, MD 21727. Please include Carnival in the memo line!
