I made it down yesterday, and today, and had a great time despite the cold rainy/snowy weather. Yesterday there were 1,700 in the park and Today was probably one of the best times I have EVER had at the park. We arrived about 9:30 to 5 cars on the lot TOTAL!!! We had a bus to ourselves to the entrance, and once inside...we were 2 of the total of 47 that were at the park. after about 2 hours of talking with every worker (nearly atleast) and doing a few laps of the place, we headed home. Every worker was amazing. They came out to talk to us, joked about how great we were to be at the park on a day like this=30 degrees, sleeting/raining mix.They offered us discounted items, told us little secrets about the place (like a backstage tour almost!) Got big pieces of warm black walnut brittle from Judy (you know it is good when they are spreading the brittle, and just pull off a big hunk and hand it to you!) A nice blanket of slush was on everything. the corkscrew pass was closed to avoid any falls/slips. Train at that time was not running, many food/snacks were not going, no rides were open. But it was still the park to ourselves, at times it was like the dreams I have where I am the only one left and I am in SDC! There were 4 cars when we left! It did clear up some later in the day, so I am sure they got a bit busier. I will never forget the time we had today! Pictures to come soon....
