Solid numbers are good numbers! It seems like Moonlight Madness really kicks up in early August just before school starts. Of course that could just be my skewed imagination.

anyone have a projected number for this Friday?

[sanddunerider]

Daily projections during the week has been running 11,500 - 12,000,  with sat and sunday running a little higher..  of course "projections" are not actual visitor count....

today (wed) is projected @ 12,300,  and they only have about 8,000 as of 2:00 this afternoon.

Sat and Sun ads looking good right now after some heavy rain forecasted for tonite into tommorrow. Upper 70s to mid 80s for the end July? More please. Will likely hit the park on Sunday.

thanks! I don't care to tough out scattered showers if it means shorter lines

I had a feeling the crowds were light yesterday. We got there after 6pm, and it was only a 15min wait for pretty much everything we went on.

Joy, yes light crowd on wed, 8500 - 9000....

today there is over 12,500 there going into the evening....

NO way to predict traffic flow..!!

It looks like I am going Saturday ( against my better judgement) a day trip with kids to ride the rides.  I am afraid of the #'s on a Saturday.

If we hadn't made a spur-of-the-moment trip to Memphis last weekend I would try to convince DH to make a day trip to SDC on Sunday. Should be wonderful weather; congrats to all of you going!

What ya do in my half hometown? I was back home two weeks ago for Robert Plant and to fetch some good watermelons. Got a couple of 40lb. Yellow meats that were wonderful.

well it is cloudy and raining in our favorite city, that will mess up today attendance count,,,

I called and checked they were expecting 15,000!!!!  today/ this evening...... as of noon only 3500 people there today .. 

Checked OR wait time and it is closed for weather

Sure hope the sun comes out and there is a late afternoon rush, but radar indicates rain all day...

Mhguy!!  grab your shorts! it will be busy tomorrow!!!

You're right, rain sure has a way of dampening attendance numbers - no pun intended.

I can't remember who it was, but I do remember a post by a member here who attended during a snow day, and they practically had the whole park to themselves.

Yep..that was me Ozark.  It was almost spooky but that visit ranks right up there with the best time I've had at SDC.  Something like 1400 were there that day.  You couldn't do a whole lot because all the rides were shut down and most of the stores hadn't opened yet, but it was fun walking around the park.

Earlier spring, on a sunday, it was cold, snowing, nothing was running, at noon ther ehad only been 212 people in the gate, with a daily total of around  425-450 people.

IT was nasty that day!

Friday, rainy day yesterday at 6 in the vening, 4500 and at 8:00 there were 5100 .

The weather seemsto really being fighting the PTB..

[sanddunerider]

WOW!!!  I just checked in at the city, as of 4:00 there were almost 19,000 people here!!!!  and still have 6 more hours to go!!

WHAT a great day for the city.. That may be the highest for day for this year..

Mhguy was going to be there today, we will see what he has to say about the crowd!!
