The parking lot gives false judgement on the croudedness of the park... Sunday it seemed to be much more full...but the lines were just as short.... plus, when that water park opens, most people'll prolly be in there.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

I love GAR. It was one of my very first rides at GAm, when I was like 3 or 4.

Yes it does. I was there also on Sunday, and between 6-8pm, every ride was just about a walk-on. I was able to ride Viper twice without ever having to move out of my seat, and could have ridden it 5 more times without having to wait. Batman was leaving the station with a max of 10-14 people on a train, if that. V2, no wait. The only ride that I saw with any kind of wait really, was the bumber cars.
If it walks like socialist, quacks like socialist, smells like a socialist, .... it's a socialist. Hope, and change we can believe in.

Busses bring large groups of people, but then again, it saves parking space.
