I never went there on opening day yet, but I plan to this year. I hear it's not busy but it's not empty either. And don't think SUF won't be open opening day, this is B&M we're talking about. I know SFGAdv's was delayed, but they open a month earlier than we do, and we've got plenty of time to finish the construction. Don't worry about it a month before opening day...

Last year on opening day, the processing center always had a line whenever I would go past. I kept putting it off until around 3. I don't know how long it took, but my sister and brother-in-law took a train ride around the park, and I got my pass and me and my friend Jayne took a ride on Triple Play and Hometown Fun Machine, then we met back up with Tanya (my sis) and Ben (bro-in-law) who had been waiting on a bench for about 2 minutes. So, it will probably take less than one train circut to get your pass. So really, not long at all, even though there was a good sized line. They keep it moving.So in a nutshell, don't do it right away. You'll miss valuable time that you could spend getting on SUF or Deja Vu sooner. (I myself will probably head to Deja Vu first, because of it's low capacity, where even though Superman will be more popular, its a B&M with B&M capacity!)

It will be crowded on opening day. If S:UF is open; expect HUGE lines.

All indications point to S:UF being open on May 3rd. Every ride should be ready to go except Deja Vu, which has a June target date. Even though S:UF will be open, don't expect the landscaping to be finished.

Every ride at Great America better be open on opening day! They have had the whole off-season to fine-tune and perfect thier existing coasters.

Are the other Deja Vu's struggling like SFGAm's? June sounds like a long way off for that ride to open.

That really sucks that Deja Vu won't be open til' June! I was hoping to go sometime in May, but I don't want to if Deja Vu is going to be closed...

Just because one kid thinks Deja Vu will open in June, it will? I think it will be ready for opening day!

When I went to SFOG on March 22nd and 23rd Vu was closed both days. So I would say yes it is struggleing at other parks.

I doubt he will reveal his source, because if its true, he doesn't want to take a chance at getting his source canned, or himself canned. If you want proof, just wait until opening day. If it's open, its not true, if it is closed, he was right. You just have to take his word on it.

Besides though there might be a coaster sitting there with paying customers who "want on it", that doesn't mean that maintenance and whoever else is in charge of park operations don't want it open... Just because it's sitting there doesn't mean that it's in perfect operating conditions.
