jlopez Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 The good thing about that is the park won't be that busy. Jennifer Quote
RingMaster Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 wrong. sneak preview days r 1 of the most crowded days we can get. last year especially was rough; we only rode three rides and that was it. you have to remember its not just associate tickets, its also to gold season passholders, and we're expecting a bunch of those come this year.

Reclaimer Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 By the current forecast for Saturday, it may not be too bad: Mid-40's with rain and snow showers. Between the two days this weekend, I look for Sunday to be the worst...It looks like it'll be sunny and warmer. http://www.intellicast.com/Local/USLocalSt...v=none&pid=none Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Yea I hear its going to get up to 60 but I heard the gold pass day wasnt bad at all last year. Quote
RingMaster Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 it was surprisingly warm last year. and very sunny, i might add. hopefully saturday will end with warmth and sun. and much beast ridin'! can i get a hallelujah on that? "Your mother's right, Chris! Listen to what it says!" -Peter Griffin Quote
familyman Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 I am going Saturday evening and then all day Sunday. Anyone get any info on those free cups at the gate? Free refills like the sister parks? Quote
acerjeep Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 I will be there on Saturday, rain/snow or shine, acting like a kid in candy store suffering from PKI withdrawals and riding Delirium Quote
Captain Picard Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 it was surprisingly warm last year. and very sunny, i might add. hopefully saturday will end with warmth and sun. and much beast ridin'! can i get a hallelujah on that? "Your mother's right, Chris! Listen to what it says!" -Peter Griffin It was snowing last year and the park closed early. Quote
TheKlockster Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 The weather forcast looks good for this weekend - but stuff happens... Hopefully it will be nice. It is supposed to pour down rain on Friday, then be partly cloudy with temps in the upper 50s - lower 60s on Saturday, and mostly sunny with temps about the same on Sunday. Quote
KIemployeeforlife Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 thats right now, yesterday they said there was a chance of snow so it keeps changing constantly. it would be awsome if the weather was good for opening weekend. Quote

TRTR Guy Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 wrong. sneak preview days r 1 of the most crowded days we can get. last year especially was rough; we only rode three rides and that was it. you have to remember its not just associate tickets, its also to gold season passholders, and we're expecting a bunch of those come this year. This year though, Gold Pass is not the same day as Dry Run day Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I don't think it will be too bad on either of the days. Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 ^ Man are you wrong! I have been hearing my work giving out tickets, 10 radio stations here is dayton are giving away tickets,and channel 2 and 7,45 are giving away tickets...so most likely it will be crowed or ''packed'' Quote
TQZ Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 According to Jeff, they gave out "about 4000" Personally I find that hard to believe, because like you say, you have all of clearchannel dayton giving them away (thanks btw, cc) TV stations, etc. You have to consider, you have columbus, cinci, probably some in KY, and WV, if not even PA. Say there are 40 stations, total. Which would be hard to believe, but just say. That would only be 100 tickets per station. I know WMMX were giving out 16 a day(4tix 4x a day), since about march 3rd. Thats Over 200 if my math is correct, Just from ONE station. WTUE has been less cheerful with theirs, but nonetheless, still handing them out. WHIO-TV I think that they arent giving many away, because you have to register online for a chance... so I wouldnt count the TV stations in for many. We'll See. Ill be there, But its supposed to be rainy, but Ill give a crowd report. PS. Where do you work Scooby Doo? And dont tell me Cartoon Central or I will have to beat you... Quote
TheKlockster Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 That is for Friday. Saturday and Sunday - the only people who will be there are Seasons Pass holders and people invited by employees. Quote
familyman Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Have they cleaned up all the walkways around IJST? Quote
Player Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 as of 4:00 PM on Thursday from the weather channel: Saturday, 70% chance of rain with a high of 47. It will be walk ons all day. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Provided they do not close early, which they probably will due to lack of crowds, and some rides unable to operate because of the cold temperatures. Quote
kong fu guy Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I might be coming and i'll need a rideing buddy (If i come) Quote
Player Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Provided they do not close early, which they probably will due to lack of crowds, and some rides unable to operate because of the cold temperatures. What would they close? Steel machines run till 32 degrees, what the hell would they shut down. Quote
PKIFan4Life Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Actually it's if the track temperature is below 54 degrees they do not run. Quote
RingMaster Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 probably drop zone on account of no one wanting to be up 300 feet in the air in 40 degree weather. i have 2 work on saturday, so its a coin toss on if we get a lot of nobodys or a lot of everybodys. Quote
