QuoteAlso, the park rarely uses all three trains, if all trains are used and the ride is working correctly, a lot of riders can get through.They should run 3 trains and make an attempt at getting people loaded in a expedient manor. Sometimes loading can become lengthy and drawn out.
Great rides but the waits are becoming more frequent.
Thanks a ton for the photos sdcfan88! You have a great eye for details. Sometimes it takes me a couple trips to notice what has actually changed.
I'm so glad they rebuilt the TNT tressel instead of just replacing it with something cheap, and I'm glad to here things have actually been fixed a bit on the Flooded Mine, even if the changes may be a little wonky. It gives me hope that it will stick around longer. What would really make me happy is if they would give it a darn entrance sign so people could actually find it.
The plaque of Pete and Jack has actually been there for a few seasons, but it certainly pops out more without all the normal foliage around it.
We arrived at the City around 12:30 on the 16th. Had to park in lot 5. Waited forever for a tram only to have to wait some more getting in. Bag check is not that bad once you get to the table....but it does slow down the entrance time a bit. Immediately noticed the new split rail fences all over the place. Basically walked around and tried to get in some rides. First time I saw a line to the FM in a long time. Line extended out to the racks next to the entrance. I thought we just caught the time right after the train, but the train station was full with a line extending to about Reed Springs! The train was just coming back into the station, so the FM was just that long. Since there are only a few shows and shops open....lines are long to all the rides. We strolled around and took everything in until I had enough of the crowds where it was time to leave. After all, we were going back the next day....
The next day, we arrived at the City around 9am. Parked in lot 2 next to the loading area. Crowd was just as bad. (I was surprised that we were able to walk straight into the Mill for breakfast) Caught the Pickers on the porch and they were great as usual. Lines to the rides were long again. First time I stood in line for TNT all the way out in the zig-zag area! PK had a line that began nearly at FITH. I caught the pickers afternoon show at the shed while the kids stood in line for the rides! ;-) Numbers were around 10k on Wednesday, and I never did ask, but was at least 10k yesterday.
I love the old paintings in the ticket booths! Welcome to the site sdcfan88
