Who went today, and how was it? I couldn't go because it was too cold, and raining. Was it even open, and for how long?

I went today from 10am until 1pm. It was very cold but it didn't really rain...or at least it didn't for the time I was there. The park was empty until around 11. Around that time is when a lot of schools came. It still wasn't too bad. Superman and Raging Bull both had around 20/30 minute waits around 11am/12pm. My friend and myself basically rode most of the roller coasters within the first hour. Overall it was a great day.

Rides closed: Ragin' Cajun, Deja Vu, Revolution, King Chaos, and all the water rides. There might have been other flats closed but I wasn't really checking.

Does anyone know why Revy and King Chaos are closed? My guess is that they are waiting for a replacement part from Huss. Does anyone know for sure?

Oh, and i'm pretty sure the park stayed open til 5 because there was a pretty decent crowd there and like I said, it wasn't really raining. But I could be wrong as I was not there the whole day.

The park was open, for the posted hours. A few coasters were closed, including Whizzer, Eagle Red, Deja Vu, and Ragin Cajun. The crowd was mostly made up of high school students. There were only about 2 rows, if that, of GP cars.

Viper was a walk-on for most of the afternoon. The longest line of the day had to have been Raging Bull. Giant Drop was running only 3 cars. It was definitely cold.

I ended the day on Batman and Vertical Velocity. V2 was walk-on, re-ridable near closing, and Batman was all re-ridable.

While leaving the park, I noticed some work was being done on King Chaos. Revolution was closed today, along with several flat rides.

I went with school today. We had to watch a stupid marketing presentation for the first hour and 15 minutes of our day, which ended at 11. (Hence when the park got busy) Anyway I got about 20 rides in and the longest wait of the day was lunch. Unfortunatly for me all my friends wanted to eat inside the park. Batman was completely flying this afternoon and was a station wait so that was good. Viper was running fast with a couple train wait and Bull's line died down in the afternoon. I rode a few flats that I have been neglecting so far this year including Fiddler's Fling and Chubasco. I was only with 2 other people most of the day because everyone else wanted to sit inside for 3 hours because they were cold. Psh I'm sure glad I didn't because the rides (with the exception of Iron Wolf, which seemed to be running ungodly slow) were really running fast. The park really empied out around 3 when many schools left. It was drizzling all afternoon, but that didn't make much of a difference. We ended with 2 rides on Bull in 10 minutes and last ride of the day, then were late for the bus. :lol:

All in all I have some terrible windburn but I had a lot of fun today. I won't be there next weekend cause I'll be at Mt. Olympus. :D
