Labor day is in August.
Memorial Day is mixed. Depends on what people's brains tell them to do that day. Last year, everyone stayed at home and BBQ'ed. 2 Years ago it was uber packed. Its all a judgment call.
Missing Shockwave more and more every day.

^^ Umm, Labor Day is in September. Double fail :lol:
As for the original question, I would expect tomorrow to be absolutely packed. Remember that yesterday and today were both cold and today had a long severe thunderstorm, while tomorrow will be around 90 degrees and sunny.

Lmfao. Oops. I might make my way up there for a ride or two amd bring my trunks in case i get itchy to ride the new slides. If its anything like the saturday before july 4th, ill be travelling a little farther north to fireworks shop.

Just fyi, 4th of july weekend, the line to get into the gates LITERALLY extends a half mile onto 94. After that, i will always and forever take the Washington entrance.

I know I am debating going today but judging on the webcam (which they should just have one of the parking lot so I know when to go and not go) ..it does look pretty damn crowded.

I would imagine that on a 90+ degree day in May though that the crowd is definitely going to be fairly water park heavy today.

WE also have to remember that with the parking changes that just because the front lot is filled doesn't necessarily mean a super packed day because most people use to park in the back lot. Too bad the cam doesn't get the back lot. I am assuming it is still pretty darn crowded today.

I remember in 2008 Memorial Day was a day of walk ons pretty much, with nice weather

Yes it was a busy day!!! But if you planned things right you were able to get in some rides without waiting too long. We got to the park at 900am and we able to ride RB 2 time, viper and Giant Drop in the first hour. Then going to AE/Batman we had a short waits. And then Little dipper was only a 3 train wait. The longest wait of the day we had was for my sons seasonpass which was 40 minutes. We got a re-ride on AE as most people rode the blue train and the red train had a very short amount of people in line. We left at 3:30pm but for the crowd we were able to get in a decent amount of rides. The main thing is always get to the park early if possible. The lines of cars were very long from 1000am/1100am so if most people head to swt which seemed to be the case this day you did good by being done with that part of the park early in the day and didnt return till later in the day.
