Thanks
Want to hear everything, down to how the lines queues looked if you must... (with the exception of hearing someone riding Demon all day )
you'll be excited when you hear about....
Ohh wait, I forgot, can't tell you.....yet. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
I'm at the park now and having a fantastic time. I personally have never been here when it's been so empty. Batman and superman have been walk ons. Hope everyone else who came for opening day is having as much fun as me and my friend are.
I wish I was there now....How does BB look?
They're charging for the Heater I heard. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
I hope tomarrow is as empty as today
The Mr. Six at the park is REALLY creepy
I'm ready for a Ragin' Cajun good time
We didn't make it. Five minutes away, a Corvette side-swiped us and took out our car. We're OK, but a little stiff for roller coasters.
You seem more worried about Coasters than your car!
lol I'm Glad your all OK! "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
^^ Oh my, I'm sorry about the accident...I was in a pretty bad one back in August...they are killer!!! Ugh, sorry you weren't in the condition to ride rollercoasters!

Was a very good day to be at the park!!! The wind made it chilly but easily managable with proper clothing, though I saw some kids wearing shorts.
Lines were very short, most rides were walk ons, even got a walk on front row ride on BTR even though it was on one train operation all day, as were alot of rides. Even re-rides on TDK The park seemed to be very well staffed for this time of year, and clean. They had the new M & M candy store open, and I saw people working inside of the internet cafe but it wasnt open early in the day and forgot to check back later. The new water ride still seems like it needs alot of work done on it and the new Johnny Rockets stand seems to be about half way done. All the major rides were running except v2. Thats all I can think of for now, and it was a very good way to start off the new year, but if it is busier tomorrow I could see long lines on BTR/Eagle as each only had one train operational with the second train still in parts on the side, which is also the case for the 3rd RB train.
I heard they changed Raging Bull's Sign....PLEASE TELL ME THAT'S NOT TRUE!!
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
I've never seen it that empty. The only line I saw appeared to be in the pass processing building. I was reminded why I stopped riding Iron Wolf 3 years ago. Luckily, I went on it after breezing on everything else multiple times a re-riding 5 and 6 times on most as I had to leave after IW due to headache.
I'm going to remember the mayor of Gurnee being there to open things the next time I hear about residents fighting new ride permits. Record is 1994. 57 visits. I'm still bruised.
Excellent!!! Any word on tomorrow? The weather should be just as decent but it's the low attendance I'm worried about.

It has changed... and it just... looks... awful...
I'll post a picture in a few minutes. I really have no opinion on it. And yes Jon, I was the one screaming at you from Bull's lift hill.  Maybe A Great Day Is Just What You Need This Year

Ah, I thought it was you.
Here's the new sign. The sign itself seems too "plain", the old one looked better but now that I think about it, I wonder what 10 years of Chicago weather did to it...  PTR coming soon... Last edited by [jonrev] on April 3rd, 2009, 8:50 pm, edited 3 times in total.
Those eyes remind me of Operation Spygirl...oy anymore pics guys?
13 Years with SFGAm World!
I think that it could look way better if they stained the wood in the background to match the rest of the wood in the area. Other than that its not that bad.
Edit: Now that I have looked at it for a little while, I think its good that it stands out more. The old sign blended in and made it harder for people to find the entrance to RB. What a day, what a place!
It's ok, it's not hideous but it's not amazing either
SF trips 09 = 15
SF trips 10= 11 SF trips 11 =7
BroadwayBaby, Tomorrow the crowds might be a little heavier but at most the wait will be about 5 Mins! And weather looks better then today.
"The rides are GREAT, The shows are GREAT, the fun is GREAT. At Marriott"s GREAT AMERICA!"
For Dark Knight, in the preshow everyone was standing in a line the whole way through. The people didn't get you are supposed to cram in there. Hometown Fun Machine has it's sign moved. It's like connected to the fence right now (I guess it's a new sign.). I don't know if it's going to stay that way, and the ride wasn't open. The coke things were everywhere. The most annoying coke garbage thing (This is where you put your coke cans in to put in garbage.) was the one in the Batman the Ride line. That really is in the way right before you go into the rows.
Batman the Ride now has another gate in the station. No more turnstyle. The turnstyle is instead in the tunnel. The employee opens up the gate, and closes it manually. This will definitely make capacity better for the ride because that turnstyle is slow for people to leave. There is a newly designed shop (There was a shop there before though, but it looks much different.) near the County Fair market, or whatever you call that food area. They now have lanyards according to the season pass booklet, and I saw in the Heroes shop that they were selling pins. It sounds like the Disney pin trading thing to me. I guess the locker people have money now. They all have pouches, and I'm guessing that if you need change for lockers, they will give them to you. There is a new ladder climbing game to the right of the Rue Le Dodge. The Dark Knight screen has partial yellow tint on it only after a year of use. On the turnstyle when exiting it says on it See you Really Soon. Disney could sue them for that. The basketball game that used to be across from the Orbit is now in back of the wall dismantled (by Demon). They have the basketball 3 pointer game there instead (the one that was near the Deja Vu area). They have big board outside the gate that says what's open and what's not before you come in. The most important thing (to me anyway) is that they says they are cleanest Theme Park (banners and while you walk in). All the rides (besides water obviously and V2) weren't always open. They would open certain rides at a certain time. Ricochet and Orbit maybe didn't open till 2 pm. It looked like the Martha's Chicken got a new sign, but I don't know because I don't really care about that place. The Funnel Cake place is still there in Orleans Place. Antione's. I thought it was going to go away??? There is a Cyber Cafe near it though. Longest wait for me was Whizzer, and the Dark Knight. "I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
What a Amazing day lol, i must of saw one of you guys some where in the park there was barely anyone there lol, dont know what anyone looks like, but i was wearing this Multicolor sweatshirt and this red hat... But anyway today was freaken amazing, walkons for just about everything, got the first ride of the season on batman which was awesome, and the funniest thing was when they were introducing Mr,Six he was about to do his dance, his music comes on for 3 seconds and than stops lol, everyone was like ahhhhh,, lol but anyway great day!!!
