Weather: 81 degrees, clear and sunny
Lines: VERY short
Park open: 10 am - 6 pm
We left to get there at 4:10 am. Well, we got there at 9:40, and went to the drop off zone. But we accidentally went to the employee drop off zone. Anyways, we got to the gates, and waited for 10:00 to let us in. There were very friendly and interacted a lot with the guests there.
Once we got in, we headed for Mr. Freeze. We got there, and there was no one in line, so it was just me, my brother and my cousin on the ride. I took front row, enjoyed it a lot. Then we went over to Sccoby Doo ride, where my brother (Planea) got 0 points.
We headed over to Excalibur, which looked like a cool ride, but I thought it wasn't all that good. The we went on The Boss. This ride was just simply awesome, front row. The had the doubles ride thing, so we rode it two times in front row.
We headed for Eagle, but it broke when we got in the station, something happened to the blue train. We left Eagle cause they kicked everyone out, it took about 1 hour to fix, and headed for Tom's Twister (Cajun Cliffhanger in SFGAm), then went to the train. We took the train to 1904 World's Fair station.
From there, we went to Ninja, which also had the double rides. That ride was decent, it hurt a little, but it wasnt too bad. We walked around the park and getting ready to eat. We headed over to Pizza Express, but on our way, Eagle was running, so we weny on it. It was also a double ride, so we rode it twice, that ride is awesome in back row.
After we got off Eagle, we met up with Ihauntu2. We talked for a bit, and we went to eat, while he went on Eagle. Then we finished eating. Ihauntu2 and Planea went to Thunder River while me and my cousin rode Mr. Freeze 3 times (back row 2 times). Then we went on Sccoby Doo again, after that, Ihauntu2 left and went for dinner.
Then we took Ninja, Screamin' Eagle, The Boss, and Mr. Freeze all one more time. Mr. Freeze did go to a 2 station op because the line was about 10 minutes long. We also went on River King Mine Ride, which was a good mine ride.
Well, somewhere between those rides, we took BTR twice. The BTR down there (excuse the language) sucked. The ride was much slower, and not as fun. I took front and back row. And to finish off the day, I took row 4 on BTR.
Overall, the day was fun. Ride totals were:
BTR - 3
Mr. Freeze - 5
Screamin' Eagle - 3
The Boss - 3
The Ninja - 3
River King Mine Ride - 1
the train - 3
Sccoby Doo - 2
Tom's Twister - 1
Excalibur - 1
TOTAL: 25 rides

No, I have been there on a crowded day, but the park did handle the crowds well. (Just don't go there on a Saturday during the summer. It can get unbearable.)
It was great. The weather was great, the lines were great, just great! Did you go Sunday too? I went from 10am-1pm Sunday and it was much hotter out. Well not neccessaily hotter just more humid! I love the way that they get you all pumped up for opening!! That's awesome!
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.... GO!!
No, I did not get to go on Sunday, I had a hockey game back in Chicago at 3:10 I had to go to. But yea, I like how they open the park, a lot more interacting with the guests.

How did you get three rides on Screamn' Eagle and other rollercoasters that are double the rides??? Do they take people off of the ride if they want to? SFStL is a really good place, but as by your account, it needs more rides. Don't get me wrong, there are rides to fill a day, but it would better if they had more. I notice a lot of people skip the Rush Street Flyer. This ride is 75% better than Trailblazer.

The double rides only lasted till 2:00, so I couldn't double ride them anymore. The Rush Street Flyer was closed, they have had so much mechanical problems with that ride, from what Ihauntu2 says, it is down more than Deja Vu.

Double rides were cool until 2pm because from opening till 2pm Mr Freeze was empty! After 2pm it was packed! So I got all of my Mr Freeze rides in during the afternoon.
Last year Rush Street Flyer was only open once when I was down there. Supposedly Rush Street Flyer is only down for a rehab now. The device that holds the platform at the top of the arc was not functioning up to standards. If it were to fail it would result in the platform swinging down very rapidly. While slightly scary, no one would be in danger. As a result they are reworking the mechanicals on the ride. They hope to have it open by the end of the month, but no later than memorial day weekend. I would hope that they give it a new paint job sometime soon as well, but time will tell. It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.
I have been there on a Saturday and a Friday. The difference was that one day Screamin' Eagle was about a 10 minute wait on Friday and a 30 minute wait on Saturday. This was awhile ago, so it might have changed since then.
