Thinking about going Wednesday....If from up in northern Wisconsin So im wondering if the crowds will be lighter this week or are people still waiting until the last minute to redeem their passes. If there are some locals who could let me know, that would be great.
Weekdays should be light crowds the rest of the year. The reading tickets that have been causing chaos the last 2 weeks expire today.
read my TR, it was crazy crowded
SF trips 09 = 15
SF trips 10= 11 SF trips 11 =7
^With Read to Succeed being over though it might not be that bad
Also crowds all depend on the weather
I can't guarantee it will be the same this year, but last year the week after Read to Succeed ended was completely dead with all waits under 10 minutes, except Eagle because Blue was closed.
Well tomorrow I hope with some rain forecasted the crowds will be less, then again it is the "opening" of eagle backwards.

Not to put a damper on your theories or anything...
According to the FB page
^Yeah, but you have to realize that most people probably don't look at SFGAm facebook page, and most people probably used them already. If you didn't use it, you probably weren't going to go anyway. Though, the American Eagle is going backwards in which they emailed people about it, and Miranda Cosgrove is Tuesday.

Like UWW said now you'll never know this week if it will be packed or not.
Hopefully a lot of people used them already and it won't cause the park to be as crowded as it was recently. I was bummed to read the announcement.
Yeah I agree. I saw that and was pretty bummed. If you guys could let me know how it is the next two days...that would be awesome. thanks!
^Its FB. Not even everyone has one and people have already used them. Don't expect Walk on City but i don't think it will be jammed
I'm in the Cyber Cafe now. It is packed. Eagle line is to the entrance, Demon line is to the entrance only running 2 trains due to issues with Stride train. Viper is full, Bull is using both queue blocks, Batman is full except the overflow queues, and Whizzer has 3 out of 5 queues filled.
It turns out Read to Succeed was never supposed to be over yesterday. The Illinois tickets were scheduled to expire yesterday, but the Wisconsin tickets were already valid through the 14th.
Looks like I'm glad I'm going to Cedar Point this weekend and SFGAm next weekend
Today was a weird day for the park, crowds got big and small randomly and the rain closed a lot of rides later on. With the Eagle "opening" backwards today that also brought in some more people to the park. Eagle amazingly reached the entrance today and bull used 1 and a half of the queue houses.

checked webcam just now. Park is emptying out
SF trips 09 = 15
SF trips 10= 11 SF trips 11 =7
^ I would hope so, considering the park closed at 9:00
im sure tomorrow will be crazy because of the miranda cosgrove concert.......... What about Wednesday? Forecast is calling for 75 and sunny. I think that might keep people out of the waterpark. Due to the two big things today and tomorrow( opening day of american eagle, and the concert tomorrow)do you think Wednesday might have some lighter crowds?
oh I didn't know it closed at 9. I thought it was still 10-10...sorry
SF trips 09 = 15
SF trips 10= 11 SF trips 11 =7
Another dissapoint that day was revolution. We were about to get on the ride when...suprise suprise...it breaks down. Also another one was the whizzer. It closed down in the rain, and it didn't open the rest of the day. We still managed to get a lot of rides done right? Let me think... Overall 8/8 was a good day! Xlight total rides:
50 times and in every row except front row left wing.
I was ticked Eagle was totally down at open yesterday. We got there at open, second in line, just to get the backwards ride in before heading to HH only to be told they didn't know when Eagle would open, and they didn't know which side would be running when it opened. The op said they needed carpentry workers, but they were AWOL. The contest winner to get the "first ride" (which wasn't true anyway) showed up and had to be told to come back later. You'd think having it up and running would have been top priority for the day. We got on it in the afternoon after a 1/2 hour wait, which wasn't bad.
Eagle (at least the years I worked there) always tended to be the ride that maintenance fooled around with forever and a day up until like 9:30am! (and I was there before the 11am opening procedure for County Fair). It's an easy track walk (but long) and they'd "give" you a side, but then change their mind, or they'd leave without removing their tag outs/lock outs, they'd leave the maintenance enable down, or they'd sign it over to the leads but forget their signature on the checklists and you're not allowed to continue with AM's that pertain to anything ride related unless it was all signed off. Then, would casually walk back up to amend the situation with a "oops....you'll get everything done in 10 minutes" look on their face.
^They probably fooled around with it because it's in the back of the park, and it isn't as high of a priority at opening like Raging Bull, Viper, or Superman which are located not at the back.
"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"
^Yes, but as rides management....you were still scolded at if you did not have the AM's completed at 10am (or park opening time) regardless of where the ride is located in the park.
anybody know what the crowds are like today?
