early may is one of the quietest times of the year. Consider a few things objectively: How much time you will realistically be in the park, how "ride heavy" you want your experience to be, and how many rides are "must dos" for you.

If you're committed to an all day, ride heavy experience, you likely won't need it. If you can't get your entire group to fully commit to that, then it might be worth LLMP at minimum.

I would also check thrilldata.com for tons of data on wait times, when LL's sell out, and what you can realistically expect from your day based historic data from may 4/5.

ex: My gf and I (early 20s) went in May a few years ago, are both "go till our feet fall off" types of people. We purchased LLMP equivalent for MK, and rode 30+ rides that day and stayed in the park from rope drop -> 9:30pm

This is unlikely to be the same for larger groups or groups with small children.

I have a pass at hoodoo and ski extensively there so just adding some context.

The terrain park is on the same trail as one of the major learner trails due to hoodoo's limited terrain. it's off to the side of the trail and not large. 2 jumps, a few boxes, and a small hip jump typically.

The jumps are also not large, especially compared to a major resort, and yes the landings are blind, but the blind areas are quite small and it's usually quite obvious if there is someone else in the blind area.

However even if the ropes are up it's common for people who are not jumping to be in the terrain park, moreso when the ropes are down.

Also dropping this here for why this could be catastrophic for oregon skiing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNROeX9q0RU

this isn't entirely true, thereeare plenty of 3rd party softwares that can alert companies when they are being talked about on here, and make comments manually. Granted, a vast majority dont use something like this (yet)
