Temps being near 60 and it being Christmas break it could get interesting.

I'd be curious to see the numbers today. My bad luck with days off continues as apparently it's everyone else's too. Lol All the lots are at or near capacity. Unlike last time I was here even the preferred parking lots are full and they are using the dirt lot below the hill now.

EDIT: Lol just saw the post above ...sounds about right. Guess we posted at the same time. Yeah I got turned away for the first time.

Haven't seen wait times like this in a very long time, especially for WF. And of course TT is down.

We went out yesterday and got there at about 4:30.  Made a beeline to check out the LR area.  It seemed busy but not that busy.  We had about a 15 minute wait at TGS, bailed out of line at OR.  Ride FM a few times with no other riders on as it looked like everyone was in line for the train or probably at shows.  Got on pretty quick on WF.  Ended up watching the 6pm parade at the start of the parade route then headed over and rode PK walk on a couple of times.  Aftwards FITH did have a little bit of a wait, rode that then left at about 6:30.  That will be our last visit of the year.

I never saw WF over 40 minutes Fri-Sun and never waited more than 20. I bet there are a lot of upset people that they’re only running one train.

When was the last time they reached maximum capacity on a Thursday?

So glad we went Wednesday instead of Thursday.  Wednesday was probably the smallest crowd I've seen at OTC.  We waited about 10 minutes both times we rode TT.
