When we were there with my niece a week and a half ago we parked at lot 2, before the park was opened. Watch 2 trams drive right past all of us who were waiting, then didn't see any more. We walked up to the gate and weren't passed by a tram the entire time we were walking- going either direction. This was within 30 minutes of the park's announced opening time, so not sure what was going on there. There were at least 100 people waiting at stop 2.
Seems like someone has changed some of the procedures and may have forgotten that they are supposed to be transporting people from the parking lot into the park? I don't know. First time I've ever seen that and thought it was an aberration. but with the original post, now I'm wondering...
