I went to Holiday World exactly one year ago from this date and Voyage was a walk-on while everything else had minimal waits except for Mammoth (Wildebeest was closed). I'm wondering if there would be the same crowds level this year or if I just got lucky last time.

I was also there a year ago from that date (Monday, August 13, 2012). See this thread: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26292-holiday-world-813-and-814/

Everything was a walk-on because bad weather and cool temperatures (mid 70s). I was one of only about a dozen guests ready to enter the park as it opened, during a thunderstorm. I don't know how crowds would have been had the weather cooperated.

Since Wildebeest was closed, I returned to the park on Labor Day to finally ride that before the season ended. Crowds were also light then, despite dry weather and temperatures in the low-to-mid 80s. Labor Day was a great time to buy merchandise and clothing, since much of it was marked down at least 50%.

I'm debating whether to make another visit this year, either during the week of August 12 or on Labor Day (September 2). Or I might end up elsewhere, perhaps Dollywood (for the first time in several years) or Kennywood (thanks to homestar92's trip report).

Wait a minute, I made a mistake. I went on a Tuesday, (8-14-12) last year, not a Monday.

I was wondering why I didn't remember it raining in the morning.

usually everything is a walk on at holiday world.

^ Certainly not Wildebeest or Mammoth.

The coasters can build up lines too, especially before of after crowds are at the water park. If Voyage is only running one train, a station wait can take forever.

I would ask to talk to management if there is one train operation, thats just me though.

^^ Well then I sure hope that's not the case!

Even if there were some crowds, the staff seem to move quite efficiently there, so the lines move fast. Our longest wait was probably for the Legend. It was quite full, but we still managed to get through in about 40 minutes.
