I'll be there, hopefully not too early.

As I said before, I will probably see some of you - but don't know anyone from here b/c nobody has their picture posted :shock: I'm sure it will be a great day. Maybe a great day is just what I need. Can't wait for Whizzer... Demon...

You can look for this jolly bastard, wearing probably something similar...and possibly equally trashed. Cinco De Drinko baby!!!!

I'll be there for gate opening and ride maybe 4 or so rides...unless the park is dead ::crosses fingers::

I will be there at opening :D

I'll probably be wearing my custom-made Demon shirt, which is red with a black graphic on the front, which is the corkscrew going over the old sewer pipe Demon sign. Also, I'm 17 and have dark hair.

Don't be afraid to say hi if you run into me!

you guys are so lucky!!! I hope someday i'll come to opening day.. maybe next year. . I live to far away so I only come once a year :-( normally how are the crowds on opening day? maybe next year i'll bring my daughter for the first time. don't know if she will be tall enough by September but we shall see. She is turning 9 in a few weeks.. she is a wooden coaster fan(mt olympus theme park) and I can't wait to put her on a steel one for the first time :-)

^ They have done this for years (as long as I can remember). Front Gate opens at 9:30 and there are chains at the Railroad Bridges until 10:00 (sometimes on the Hometown Square side, they have it at the County Fair entrance by Orbit and the Railroad crossing in Southwest).

It was somewhere around this time...i actually think that when the parking lot gates opened at 9 they let us right into the park as i remember because i know i was NOT waiting there for 30 mins to get in at park. Also i know last year they werent suppose to open the rope till 10 but the employee that was on the left side of the water opened them after the ceramony and left us on the right hanging for a minute making me be 3rd in line for bull but do you think they will open the ropes at 10 or after the ceramony which usually ends around 9:55??
