The only opening day I've ever attended was in 2008. I don't remember anything like that at the entry gates. It also wasn't very crowded. I must have gotten lucky!
Does it mean you're getting old when you think about going to KI, and the rides aren't the first thing on your mind?
I'm actually looking forward to walking around, taking pictures and checking out the pavers!
Really? I know that any SoB solution is expensive, but pivotal to the park's future? That's a sobering thought. Didn't realize so much was riding (coasting?) on it.
Wow, I kind of forget sometimes what a MASSIVE structure Son of Beast is. It really is a shame that it doesn't operate. I remember waiting in line for it in 2000 and thinking "do I really want to get on this thing?".
It's a shame that that element is missing in so many (especially newer) other rides. Adventure Express, Flight of Fear, anyone? Really, once you're actually in line for Racer, it's layout is not readily visible, either.
Been having a lot of trouble getting on the site on both of my computers...a little bit ago, the site was running in a VERY low-tech mode on my laptop. Now, it's having trouble loading. Sometimes I just get an error message.

Check the 1 hr time lapse view to see some sped-up Zephyr testing! Awesome!
Hopefully nothing was "misinterpreted" from the video. Nothing but respect for KIC and its members...but poking a little fun at some of the discussions!
