We're going to be there Saturday -- can hardly wait.  It has been too long since we've been to an "outdoor" amusement park.

Yeah, looks like a 30% chance of rain. Either way, we'll be there!

Roll call...who is here today...
Rube Dugans! great day to be in the park, Warmed up to about 60ish about 2-3pm. No crowds. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but managed to park in C, but they called it Lot 2or3. I didnt mind some of the shops not being open, I just enjoyed walking around the park BEFORE all the festivals start. It always looks bigger without the sheds and kiosks selling items.

Great day! Rode powderkeg, thunderation 3 times, didn't get to ride the train (you can imagine how disapointed I was) got some great fried pickles at the lumbercamp and saw what looked like some cleaned up scenes on the flooded mine and fire in the hole....once again great day..oh and I think the green trams are no more, had these weird truck-pulled white ones....sigh

Can we get confirmation on the trams? It would be a shame if they're gone, but I'd understand seeing as they could only run along the top of the hill.

I also was a bit saddened by the absence of the Green Trams. Yes they were a bit old and bouncy at times, and probably warrented a lot of upkeep, but I always remember those trams being.

Yes, no more green trams and we have new busses too. I understand that the green trams are iconic, but these ones run more efficient and meet ADA standards so much more then the old ones.
