Ok this might be a dumb question to ask but how do season pass holder days work. Like would Joker be open the entire day or just part of the day? I've never done a pass holder day so that's why I'm asking.

It would most likely be open the entire day. Just show your pass at the ride entrance and they should let you through! I went to the JL one and we still waited about 75-90 min about an hour before the park closed so it really wasn't shorter of a line, just a day early. This being said, I also went to Demon VR t-shirt and there were about 100 ish people but it was only for 2 hours, but we know how that ended.

My strategy for riding Joker opening day without a 3 hour wait: I'm going to enter the line right as they close it off (2 minutes before close). I think it MIGHT help minimize the wait to maybe 30-40 minutes, which I'd gladly take over 180. This past summer I saw JLBFM with a full queue early in the day and as I walked by at around 7:52 (6 minutes before the lines were closed off) the line was only outside of the building by 2 or so people.

They will probably will sell a tshirt and you will get a one time use fast pass. They did it like that with Goliath.

I'm really surprised they're still doing T-Shirt day. The only successful T-Shirt day that has happened in recent years was the JLBFM one. Goliath's never happened after numerous delays, ROTG's was a disaster, and obviously hometown park never had one.

I'm not sure about X-Flight though. Did that one have a t-shirt day?

What's the downside to then? Either way they're selling t-shirts. And if it does badly, what do they care?

^That is true. I guess with all the failed attempts they'd at least do a different event. But I guess you're right with the sales.

As many times as it's explained, I still don't truly understand why they won't open a new ride for opening day. They gotta deal with complaints from people who go early in the season to ride a new attraction & it's not ready.

Yeah this.

SF wants two attendance spikes at the start of the season to draw in more crowds. They see the new ride is closed, so they return when it opens. Quite simple and effective.

Hey, we got more than SFNE does. But SFOT & Nagashima have us beat for sure.

It doesn't show very much and there is still barely anything done from the looks of it.

Welllll not what I was expecting but it's something. I think I was expecting an over look of the site, not supports on the ground. But would that have been much better? Prob not.

I'm honestly really glad they went with this color scheme. I wasn't too sure about it at first, but now I can say it's really eye-catching and lovely. Super excited to see ours go up!
