While thousands and thousand of people have gotten a ticket to see one of the ICE! attractions in Colorado, there are thousands and thousands more that haven't, yet. Gaylord Rockies is way out by Denver International Airport; it makes it tough for a lot of families to get there and enjoy it. With it being a resort-hotel, you have to imagine that many of the ICE! attendees are from out of state, the family having planned a trip to the resort.
