THE END!

The crowds werent too bad. Less than 5 minute waits for everything except Batman. There were alot more rides closed than shown on that sign (all water rides, River Rocker, Sky Trek Tower, Jester's Wild Ride, and Chubasco, in addition to the rides shown on the rides closed sign.) Lots of band people there and people who had just graduated.

People were testing out Tornado today and it seems everything works out OK.

5/5 - Threat of rain + weekdays + school days = low crowds!

Roaring Rapids was open!!! There were like 7 workers for ride. Two were in the booth, two were by the lines to send people, two were walking the platform, and one was shooting water. Do they really need all those people? As said before, Sky Trek Tower was opened, and then it closed later.

Well I got there later in the day so I didnt notice STT open at all.

And with all of the other water rides closed I assumed Rapids was closed too.

Sounds like a fun trip, but a short one. I also love that Giant Drop picture. It's pretty awesome! :P :P :)

Now that I think about it, I remember V2 wasn't working that well when we went by on Monday. Is it still closed?
