Since Arby is too modest to share this himself, I'll share it for him:

To me, WWU is a coaster nerd's dream. Even though it's not a riding event, there is so much really cool information shared and so many sneak peeks into the upcoming season, it's a different kind of fun. Plus, you get to meet and spend time with other people who are just as (or more) coaster nerdy than you are! I know most of my friends can't relate to my passion for coasters, so going to events like this is a chance to bond with my "coaster family".
Last year's swag was amazing! We each got a free pass to Dollywood, a free pass to Six Flags Fiesta Texas with a one-time-use fast pass for the new Batman coaster, Fury hardhats and mousepads, Christmas ornaments from Six Flags over Georgia, and lots more that I'm sure I'm forgetting. There was also a raffle. I won a flag that had flown on Voyage at Holiday World. I know others won free passes to different parks in the region (and beyond). In addition to that, the food was amazing.
I have no doubt that Dreammore Resort will be a fun place to attend next year's event, and I'm looking forward to seeing it in person. (They shared lots of pics of the construction of the resort at this year's event.) And hopefully we'll get a construction tour of *whatever* (cough, cough
RMC) is being built for 2016 at Dollywood.
