Actually, I doubt that's in Grandfather's Mansion. I think I'm gonna go with the ticket booth area instead.

Grandfather's Mansion?

Went to the park last Wednesday 3/20/13. We got there at about 9:45 and waited in the ticket line for a solid 30 minutes just to pick up our season passes. The ticket line was ridiculously slow; however, I did notice that some of the employees were standing around near the ticket booths exchanging guest vouchers so that season pass holders wouldn't have to take their guest up to the ticket booth. Once we got in the park at about 10:30 we went straight down towards Outlaw Run and noticed that the line was all the way past Crossroads, so we decided to just walk around a bit and see what all was new. I was able to get my first ride on Wildfire at about 12, before that everything (but Thunderation and FITH) was closed (because temperatures weren't high enough yet), including OR because of ride issues. There was such a large crowd in line for Wildfire that they had to queue us upstairs. That's the first time I have ever queued up there. After riding Wildfire I went over to Crossroads Pizza to eat. The pizza was good, but not the best. The service was terrible though. They have three different people filling three different pizza orders from three different lines. I sat and watched one lady continue to fill the orders in her line with out even caring about the other two ladies needing to fill their orders from their lines. I ended up getting my pizza after someone else who was farther back in the one lady's line. After eating I made it over to OR at about 2:30 which had a 120 minute wait. I timed it and noticed that it only took 80 minutes to get on. I rode in the back and it was AWESOME!!!!!!!! Easily a 10 out of 10! After riding OR i rode PK which had a 30 minute wait; then rode Wildfire and Thunderation which both had about a 15 minute wait. I finally made it over to FITH at about 5:30, there was absolutely no wait so I rode twice. They ended up extending the park hours to 7 so after about 5:45 the park was pretty much bare because most everyone had no idea they extended hours. I ended up getting 2 more rides on OR by the end of the night. Both those waits were about 10 minutes. Overall, it was an extremely busy day but I still got to do everything I wanted to. I got 2 WF rides, 1 PK ride, 1 Thunderation ride, 2 FITH rides, 3 OR rides, and I still managed to have time to do the Hi-Lo-Silos with my little sister!

Temperatures started in the upper 30s and hit about 47 around 3:00. Rather windy but still nice and sunny!!

Water rides were open and I did see some little kids on the Lost River and saw a family getting on American Plunge! Crazy people!!

I would guess 40 degrees

I like it a lot better than the other one they had up.... It doesn't run very well though. It starts out showing the whole page then it cuts half the webpage off after about 10 seconds of having the page loaded.

Anybody happen to have any photos of Thunderation when it first opened?.... Perhaps some photos of the line length when the ride was relatively new?

Dippin' Dots stand?

Aunt Polly's haha?!?

Big Jack's?

I thought for sure that they would show off the train cars today! Darn!

I'm disappointed that they didn't show off the design of the train cars!  

A flooded mine one would be cool!

Guest relations building?

Heartland Home Furnishings?

I have seen two cars run on TNT before; however, i've only seen two ran during MM! Also Giant Swing sometimes has two swings in operation during MM

Two weeks ago when i was at MM everything had atleast 2 trains/swings running!!
