nobody knows, could be completely empty, could be packed, depends on how many season pass holders are willing to come on a wednesday night.

in my opinion it depends how smart season passholders are and if they actually read their coupon books or not...I'm leaving in like 30 minutes too, hope the lines arent bad!

Just got back from the event, they closed all the rides early to clear the lines and then after 9, you had to show your season pass to get in. The lines weren't too bad, Giant Drop was a walk-on, Raging Bull was 15 minutes(2 trains), AE was a walk-on, Rajin Cajun looked like at least a 45 min. wait though, Batman's looked to be about 20 min., Superman was about 5 min, Whizzer looked to be a walk-on. Deja Vu was closed with a crane next to the second spike and revolution was closed as well.

From one of my other posts:
Apparently they've been doing some work on the second tower cable something (so any of you that saw a crane there today, no, they are not taking it out ).

Tonight was amazing, I got on nearly everything in 2 hours. My wait times were:

Raging Bull: 20 mins
Iron Wolf: Walk on
Batman: Walk on
V2: 10 mins
Viper: 15 mins w/ breakdown (My applause to the ride ops/maintaince for absolutly flying to the station and get the ride back up. When it went down I just saw a ride op fly down the employee staircase.)
Ragin Cajun- Seemed to be about 45 mins
Superman: Didn't pass it
Whizzer: Near walk on
Demon: Walk on
American Eagle: Both sides walk ons and blue was running great.
Giant Drop: Seemed to be about 5 minute wait

Tonight really rocked, every guest was very enthusiastic (including me) and it seemed to be a big hit. The ride ops also seemed to be in great moods as well.

Yeah...that was good, I had fun chatting with the girl who had to climb the lift hill. Yup, I was in the last row on that train. We even had time to make some phonecalls. Kinda fun.

Batman was only running 1 train so the line was at least 40 minutes when I got off. They might of switched to two. V2's station was jam packed with a line filling 2 switchbacks. Superman was 5-15 minutes. Ragin' Cajun had a full line with at least an hour wait. Raging Bull had a straight line to the exit which was probably at least 30 minutes. Giant Drop was Walk-on. Viper had a half full station. then it broke down, emptied out, then reopened. 25% off food and merchandise and maybe a few games. A lot more to post tommorow. It was a nice event if you knew what lines to get in.

Yeah, they added the second train on BTR sometime around 9:30 or so. So it was a 20 minute wait... The longest wait was for Raging Bull, 30 minutes with 2 train op.

Anyone who was there the whole day notice how some of the lines were actually longer, or if anything the exact same as they were the whole day?

Either way I got much more in on my first 2 hours then my last 2 :P

Anyways, Was a great day either way. Park was pretty empty, Finished my night with the last ride on AE-Red, Running great tonight. Also as someone mentioned, the ride ops were in great moods tonight it seems, Specially on AE all the ride ops were just being awesome tonight.

Anyways, great time! Good job to Gam!

Hey, I was on that train too. I thought the ride op was going to keel over by the time she got to the top of the steps. They did a great job getting it running again. I never did hear for sure what triggered the e-stop. I though the ride-op said something about letting the other train into the station too soon but I didn't think that was possible.

I was there during the day, but had to leave before CAD. It seems as if the lines were shorter during the day than during CAD. RC had a 20 min wait mos of the day, but it sounds as if it had a full line during CAD. Also, RB was a line from the stairs, and sounds as if it were longer at CAD.
