wowww I cannot believe the weather went from pretty nice to extremely crappy. If it's pouring and they will still run El Toro I am there!

according to facebook; "Hey guys, unfortunately the Hope for the Holidays event is cancelled this evening due to inclement weather conditions

We'll let you know if we reschedule, so stay tuned!"

IT is also posted on the Offical web site as being cancelled . What a bummer

. Hope they can get it together maybe for next weekend . I guess we will have to wait and see .

Bummer

. Can't say I blame them though. Hopefully word gets out there soon enough.

Bummer...I was really looking forward to going. I don't think the rain is the problem. I'm pretty sure the 25mph winds are whats causing trouble.

Keep an eye on our Twitter feed. We broke the news early this morning, and we'll keep ya updated as much as possible. Sometimes it's too hard to post and super easy to tweet when we get "Breaking News"

Is that still true?

yeah. I'm getting a little jumpy about it right now since I spread word to some of my friends at school. Being the jokers they think they are, they tell me it's either today or tomorrow(for the past 2 weeks). I've been looking at twitter since it got delayed, no word yet.

Ogolo · « **Reply #60 on:** November 24, 2009, 05:21:17 PM »

The new date is Sat March 27, 2010!

B-mac · « **Reply #61 on:** November 24, 2009, 06:53:43 PM »

Big Delay, for a charity event.

jimmybjammin · « **Reply #62 on:** November 24, 2009, 08:38:51 PM »

lol. I'll be there that day either way, time to drop off at the drop bins.

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #63 on:** November 24, 2009, 08:49:46 PM »

My guess is 'no'. It's no small feat to open one ride in the off-season, and they do have annual refurbishments to get started. The weather just hated the park this season, even when it tried to do good.

nitrorox1414 · « **Reply #64 on:** November 25, 2009, 07:30:53 PM »

Isnt that near opening day?

B-mac · « **Reply #65 on:** November 25, 2009, 08:03:57 PM »

probably is opening day.

jimmybjammin · « **Reply #66 on:** November 25, 2009, 08:52:12 PM »

March 27th IS opening day.

coastersue · « **Reply #67 on:** November 25, 2009, 09:24:20 PM »

I just wish they'd officially say "no" so we know once and for all. I'm guessing it's "no", but I'm still holding onto our donations just in case it still happens.

Ogolo · « **Reply #68 on:** November 25, 2009, 09:39:56 PM »

Yes it is opening day. (That was the joke.)
I suppose I should be more direct next time!

I believe they would have announced a date by now.
They could at least host a drop off day with no rides.

jimmybjammin · « **Reply #69 on:** November 27, 2009, 10:56:47 AM »

if its rescheduled to dec it could be the donate to charity to experience a rollback on ka event.
