Expand That's on the conservative end, and that's only with 2 booths staffed since 2 employees can service 6 booths.

Here's a question, though, I go the confirmation email, but there is not direct confirmation of the pass codes I entered. In other words, no confirmation of you entered "XYZ code which belongs to Joe Smith's pass," or I can't find the reservation "showing" on my pass in the app or anything, like the dining plan does, for instance. Is this typical? Anyone have insight? Expand You have to add the order number for it show in your app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you are staying there, I can guarantee you that your walk will be faster than the vehicle backup on the road! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster sally Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 So parking opens @ 1030. Does that mean the gate, and where exactly is the gate when pulling in.

It will be interesting to see how the reservations fill up now that they are live. I'm expecting them to lax the 1 visit per season pass holder once they see what the demand is. Expand Based on the day, it looks to be between 10-12k. If you assume every ride will operate at a min of half capacity, with 10k in the park, you'd still be seeing waits of about 30 min or so for the big coasters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartbeast79 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I am hoping that most of the crowd sticks with Orion--my daughter and I also have the first riders event so we will check that box on the first and focus on other rides with the whole family. Actually, we've been talking a lot about the rides which are most naturally set up for social distancing/less risk of flying droplets from fellow riders. It's been interesting and I certainly don't think we really know what we're talking about ;). But it has certainly been a curious discussion! For instance, we're feeling pretty good about Race for Your Life, and hoping that it will be open! Has anyone else been thinking about lower/est risk queues/rides? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron88stang Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I got reservations for the 7th. I am hoping for a very light crowd so I can get a ride in on Orion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvingKI Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I wish I knew for sure one way or the other Soak City will be open. My daughter only wants to go to Soak City, I'm holding off on her season pass.. To be honest, if it isn't going to be, I don't really want mine this season, but since they are good for next season that will be ok.

catknese Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 It was easy to use. My only complaint is I had to enter a 22 digit pass number for each family member. They need a drop down for your loaded passes to pick from rather than entering them one by one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyluvsKI Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 It was super easy, barely an inconvenience it was faster than Dollywood's bogged down website. It never stuttered in any of its loading and I got the date and time I wanted. Also before the email showed up. Only downside is the limit to even reserve another day after the passholder timeframe. If you had multiple day tickets and could reserve those would be nice to be able to reserve a second day for a passholder. I know I know single day brings in new money but hopefully once I'm in sun we can score the next res the following sun. But it'll be fun no matter what!
