It is drawing near! We should all celebrate together at the exact same time when the doors open on the first day. Even for those of us that won't be able to make it in person. ;D

Junior

We are almost there! I hope to see some of you on park opening day!

We've had season tickets for the last several years.  We usually go during the week and have the opportunity to go on opening day this Thursday.  Typically, the crowds are less during the week than on the weekend but with it being the first day of the season, I'm a little concerned about the crowds.  Anyone have any insight to what the crowd will be like on opening Thursday? TIA

Christy, WELCOME to the group,,

I woul expect with the weather predicted at 75-80 opening day an lots of sun..  the City will have an amazing opening day and weekend!

Have fun!.

We were there on opening day last year.  It was nice weather, I would guess somewhere around 70 degrees.  The attendance was very manageable, would guess around 6,000.  I would presume attendance would be about the same or lighter considering nothing new this year (HDH last year).  Now Saturday might be a totally different story!

Thanks for the quick replies and the warm welcome!  We would love to surprise our kids by showing up at SDC on Thursday but wanted to make sure we could actually get on some rides!   :)  If the weather holds out, we hope to make it!!
