Let us know how your day at the park was.

This was my first visit of the season. After reading Trip Reports from last weekend, today was a bit "crowded." Demon even had a line, using about 4-5 rows of swtichbacks near the station in the afternoon. Demon was only running two trains today.

Sky Trek Tower and the Scenic Railway do not have their spiels yet, but the train conductor did mention a fountain will go near Viper/Entrance to Hurricane Harbor.

American Eagle: Blue/Backwards was open today, but was only running one train, compared to two trains for Eagle: Red.

Whizzer had some downtime in the early afternoon, but seemed to be running fine later on in the day.

Also, the train conductor mentioned King Chaos not opening was due to an impending inspection. Condor is still closed, its cars yet not in place.

What happened to the "expert" on these forums who said American Eagle Blue doesn't look like it will open this year ;). They going to own up to being dead wrong or not lol.

Oh, I was wondering what the big circular pieces of cement were for at HH's entrance. It must involve this fountain of some kind.

AEB was repainted on the lift hill, they removed that sign that tells people blue left and red to the right.

The park was very crowded for time of year, every line was at least 30 minute wait for every ride (except Columbia, Stargate, and STT).

Whizzer got its third train back from rehab, it was cycling the whole day without passengers to get the ride tests for that train in.

Finally, me, Jeff and Ally (hopefully that is how you spell it) took the first 3 rides of Deja Vu today, re-rode. 1A first time and 2B the next two times.

A lot of changes for thus weekend. Whizzer DID open later in the day with 3 trains!

And yes, AEB opened a lot earlier than everyone else was claiming.
