Opening Day 2012

is the red part of the tower really that long? or are my eyes shot?

I hope you all know that you have a killer park on your hands. Very lucky.

I made it on Sunday for a quick trip 2 hour trip at opening.
One nice change is they no longer hold guests back by the fountain at opening.
They let the crowds wait in the boardwalk area until the 10:30 AM opening which really avoids the big crowd surge.
I suppose they realized most people don't want to see Bugs Bunny open the park.
Even the security guards were saying it works out much better.

Operations were much better than opening day and the new security gate seems to help out.
The park started getting really crowded around 1PM.
Maybe the high gas prices are going to give the park a boost attendance this year?
Or maybe it is the super cheap season passes.
