Pros:

1.  Even though it was one train yesterday, RT has both tracks ready.  In all our years of riding it, I don't think both tracks were ever ready on opening day.

2.  All 4 trains ready to run on KK.

3.  MUCH improved ride closure listing

4.  Most employees seemed to be doing a good job

5.  Lots of signage about non-smoking

6.  AWESOME former employees returning to work in the park this year

Cons:

1.  Parking toll configuration

2.  ET's one train operation

3.  Neither side of Chiller being ready

4.  Express entrance lanes not being open when we entered around 11 am at park opening

5.  ET and RT over an hour late in opening

One huge con is that I do believe that they made perfered parking bigger !!

The parking system is alittle annoying it may just take time to get use to . When we went it was late and there were no lines.
Rides not running I do beieve it is the COLD that is the issue. We saw ET test two trains almost all day and then noticed it was open as we left around 7:30.

KK had two trains running but they were working on getting all 4 running as we were on the platform.

The employees were all friendly and helpful so far.

I think that we need to judge the park after the spring break and when the weather gets warmer.

The employees rock so far this season. Especially the spielers on Kingda Ka. Everyone seems to be having fun. Hopefully it lasts.

I'm not sure if it's a pro or a con, but it's been stirring in my mind since my visit.  The park didn't feel like Great Adventure.  It could have simply been the cold in the spring throwing off that feeling, or maybe it's a sign of things to come.  Maybe this feeling is the start of the good changes.

The weather is killer...it provides no lines to get marathons but Ka keeps shutting down because the water keeps freezing.
