I had to park at the bank - never have I parked so far out. They had a line of buses waiting to carry people to the front gate (I'll post a picture later.), and portable flood lights to illuminate the field in which we were parked.
On the way out, our driver told us the biggest crowd ever was three years ago - a little over 23,000 - and just after 7:00, the numbers were just a couple thousand under that (making it the second largest day to date), but people were still coming in. Can anyone confirm whether or not the 13th was a record attendance?
The crowds were not terrible with all the rides operating above their temperature limits and with the new areas to spread people out. It wasn't like this summer, but I've seen lines much longer in the past. All in all, I felt like everything was handled quite smoothly.
