After a sudden closure, a popular American theme park just revealed a massive cancellation, causing outrage among fans by not offering refunds.
Tropical Storm Debby has unfortunately affected countless Americans after sweeping the nation, leaving power outages, floods, and more in its wake.
Like all citizens of the United States, theme parks across the nation have been affected by the severe weather caused by Tropical Storm Debby, with many shutting their doors and ceasing operations entirely.

Such was the case for Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania, which was forced to cease all operations on August 9 for the safety of all guests and theme park employees.
Sadly, following the sudden closure, Hersheypark officials revealed more devastating news, confirming the cancellation of the Green Day concert scheduled to take place at Hersheypark Stadium on August 10.
Hershey Entertainment Venues shared a statement confirming that Green Day had canceled their performance on August 10 due to Billie Joe Armstrong, the band’s lead singer, losing his voice after a previous performance.

We’re so sorry to be missing you tonight, but here’s the good news – the rescheduled date is Sept 2 so hold on to your tickets – we will see you then!

@GovRnMnt_Coyote joined the conversation, saying, “I get it, nothing we can do, but rescheduling a Saturday night show to a Monday night is dirty work.”
