So it was about a 25 minute wait once they actually got the thing going. That was from close to the back of level 2. When we got off the line was all the way out the building up the stairs and up the hill. This also leads t long wait times on TNT. It’s showing a 60 minute wait.

Well an hour after opening looks like they finally got whatever the issue was fixed and are now sending out riders.

To further add, yesterday they delayed opening TT because temp was under 41but today it’s 50+ and that train they just sent was empty. I will say yesterday when we finally made it up top about every train coming back in before it left I saw guys checking things on and under them and either making adjustments or tightening or doing something. Not sure. Hope this is not another one that breaks down all the time like PK.

We were there yesterday. Got there at opening and waited 2.5 hours to get on TT. It was a great ride but I will not be waiting that long again. At the 2nd level before you go up to the 3rd they tell you which row to get in. The idea is when you go up it’s then your turn to get on. The problem was once you got up there people were just getting in whatever row they wanted so the result was you ended up having to wait to get in your correct row while empty seats went out. This slowed things down quite a bit. The Park was not all that busy but after TT we went to PK. Ended up in that line about 20 minutes when they had an issue and had to change trains. So ended up waiting over an hour in that line. Rode a couple more rides then left about 3. Got back today, got to park about 30 minutes before opening. We ended up a way back from the rope but soon it was piled up alll the way up the hill to the square. We figured we would hit TT again real quick and should be able to get thru it in about 30 minutes or less. So at rope drop of course everyone was headed there. It took 30 minutes to get down the stairs because as soon as you enter the building they are stopping everyone to take their pic in front of the green screen area. Totally rediculous and slows the line way down. We are currently waiting in the line on level 2. It’s been right at 30 minutes and the first train just went. We will be back tomorrow but wil be skipping TT.  They really need to do away with this photo thing, at least for now while the lines are so long.

That area is completely different for sure. Took me a minute to find my way to FM.

Just got done riding it. 2.5 hour wait. A lot of which was due to delayed opening. When you get to the bottom of the 3rd level they tell you which line to get in. After getting to the top it seems a lot of folks were not following those directions and got into whatever line they wanted. So that left many seats being sent out empty which slowed the line down quite a bit. Anyway, great ride, will probably head there first again tomorrow as long as it’s open but I’m not waiting that long again.

We got here at opening. Not that many cars is preferred parking yet. Been in line at TT since then, just now made it to bottom of stairs on 1st floor. Ride appears to have just now opened.

Part of me hopes the chance of rain on Friday keeps some of the crowd away!  ;D

Is that for a daily trailblazer pass?  If you have a season trailblazer pass do those only get you on once also?

I told my 9 year old about the tickets today and he said it was not worth spending the money on!  I was shocked.  Anyway, I will be there Wednesday at normal opening time.  Debating on if I should head directly to TT, or just go about riding other rides.  I bet everyone heads directly to TT and its either go there first and get it over with, or wait but I am sure the later in the day the longer the lines for that.  Or just skip it and ride it another visit.  BTW the site says there are 413 tickets left.

I just saw that.  That tells me it is likely to be a zoo Wednesday.  I kinda of hoped It would be somewhat slower that day since it is in the middle of the week. I already have reservations and will be there Wednesday thru Friday.

Yes, I will say the one time I ate at the Mine this year, it was not very good at all.  I used to eat there several times a year but this year it was simply not worth the price.

I was in Branson yesterday meeting up with one of my employees who lives there and noticed they already had all the billboards changed to the new name as well as the signs on the building.

We have always gotten ours from the 2 for 1 purple building. I have wondered if this was the best place or if there were other good places.

Wow some of you guys really get around.  I am sure I will just do my usual once a month trip to SDC, but would like to make it to some other parks this year if time allows.
