November 2nd

[Ogolo]

Anyone else going on November 2nd to close out the park for the 2008 Season?
Don't forget the clocks change tonight!

I am.  I need to get my new pass.  I want to go to Magic Mountain in January.

[WadeJ]

I'm hoping to actually make it.

Rich and I will be there at opening and will stay for about 3 hours.

[Robert T Ackerman]

Can't make it... but I may be at Seaworld, or BGA

Hershey was happening that day.

For anyone that stayed to closing, how was it?

We had a good couple hour visit in the morning.  Would've liked one last ride on Medusa, but the line was too long thanks to all of the signs.

Our days of riding RT are definitely over as we only had 20 rides this year.  You know the dispatches are horrible when 2 people who love the ride can't stand to ride it anymore.

We did not go the 2nd but did go the 1st . It was a very sad  day as we knew it would be a long COLD winter before we would get to ride our favorites again.

 We got there late as we had bowling , soccer and CCD in the morning . we pulled in  and went right to the line for kingda ka . With a 45 min wait the kids really wanted to ride. We used our parent swap and everyone was happy to ride before the season ended. we also did ET and RMT . The line for Rolling thunder was INSANE . It took myself and my two kids as long as it did my husband and one daughter to ride ET to get on to rolling tunder . They need to do someting about the wait time up there it is INSANE .

We wanted to see the parade so we did as well as the opening of dead mans party . The kids love it. Went on BDK for my son and nitro . Skull mountain wasn't too bad either . All in all it was a nice visit and seeing the sign for medusa lead us no to ride it either . The lines were too long . I don't like the new blue if it stays that color and it doesn't open till may 15th . I can't wait for opening day already .

45 minutes doesn't sound too bad for a line at Kingda Ka on the last Saturday.

The RT situation isn't going to change. The ride needs enthusiasts, but the way this park treats the people who really care about their job, there isn't enough enthusiasts to "trickle down" to RT. I'm glad the El Toro crew held up this year tho.
