Pagoda Gift Shop Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Since when has Vortex been a girl?!? I'm not sure dark blue and orange suits a girl. Quote
lopan Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 so i drove by today and it looked swamped from 71, is it really that bad now on weekdays? whats the line waits been like? I havent been in 3 weeks unfortunately Quote
Diamondback96 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 It has been reported elsewhere here that the lifthill chain is reportedly broken. Perhaps when Vortex found she was no longer included in morning ERT, her heart was broken. I also thought of that. Poor Vortex! 1 Quote

I havent been in 3 weeks unfortunately Spirit Song is/was taking place from Thurs-Sat. The park is usually a complete zoo during that event. Quote
Dalefan Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Spirit Song adds an extra 10,000 to 25,000 people to the park each day. Quote
bkroz Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Spirit Song adds an extra 10,000 to 25,000 people to the park each day. If only I'd known that before I tried to go yesterday. But on a positive note, my appreciation for the Zephyr has been restored. Quote

Bennett Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Always, ALWAYS, avoid the park during Jeebusfest...was fun though on Weds to see them cleaning the old dinosaur that is Timberwolf for the weekends Jeebus music. Quote
homestar92 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Since when has Vortex been a girl?!? I'm not sure dark blue and orange suits a girl. Of course Vortex is a girl. Look how close she is to The Beast. And where do you think Sonny got his loop? Quote

markr Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Was at the park Thursday late afternoon/early evening. Even though the park appeared to be crowded, the line waits weren't that long-Beast was a 40 minute wait, DB 30 minutes and WS just about 20 minutes. I get the impression that a lot of the people were at the concerts rather than at the rides. Quote
lopan Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 hows it been this week in terms of crowds? Quote
Flat Freak Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 hows it been this week in terms of crowds? Maybe it's me but the park seems more crowded this year than it was last year on the same days of the week. We went regularly on Tuesdays or Wednesdays last year, and most Tuesdays so far since school's been out this year. This year seems slightly, but not significantly, busier. In general, that means 15-20 minutes for Beast, Diamondback, BLSC, and WindSeeker, 0-2 train waits for most other rides except FOF (longer wait because of throughput and air conditioning in the station), Firehawk (ridiculously low capacity).

lopan Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 so surprise events this week like that event last week? i say surprise cause i couldnt find that last event on the website Quote
Flat Freak Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 We were there Tuesday for ERT and left about 1230 pm. We went back at 6pm until close. Crowds were light, but busier in the evening when the oppressive heat backed off a little. No special events. Quote
lopan Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 it wasent too bad today earlier but after like 6 it got really back everything was looking like a 45 min wait pretty busy for a weekday in my experience. p.s. woot 100th post Quote
Darkeligos Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Sheesh what was up with yesterdays crowds? When I was younger it was nothing but 20 year olds and their friends at the park. Now that I am in my 20's there are nothing but 13-15 year-olds EVERYWHERE. I know it wasn't a weekend, but my friends and I were amazed at what was going on. Normally we chit chat and ride with girls who are our age, but yesterday it was nothing but 14 year-olds with skimpy clothes and backpacks. Backpacks EVERYWHERE. I promise you we couldn't identify more than 4 people in our age range. Whats up with that? Quote
spitfire Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 It was fairly crowded today but the lines weren't too bad for most things. I didn't have to wait longer than about 20-25 minutes for anything I went on. Quote
VortexBFForever Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) I'll post the trips I made so far this year in order from very crowded to not very crowded: Saturday, August 4th (all day/night) Monday, August 13 (morning/early PM) Tuesday, July 10 (evening) Monday, September 3 (afternoon/evening) Thursday, May 24 (evening) Wednesday, May 16 (evening) Edited September 15, 2012 by VortexBFForever Quote
lopan Posted August 19, 2012 Author Posted August 19, 2012 today was crazy busy. The parking lot was literally almost completely full. I went around 4 and ended up in the very last Adventure Express(end of parking lot) area, i doubt there were more than 100 spots left anywhere from what i could tell. Guess everyone's getting their last fill of ki before school :-). 1 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 I finally experienced my non-busy day of the year last week (I'm a bit late) with 15 minute waits for all rides, but Planet Snoopy was packed. And this was a...Tuesday? I'm having a serious mind blank. CoasterGeek, you here? 1 Quote
markr Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Its not unusual for the kids' areas to be crowded during the week days with stay-at-home parents and their kids. Quote
