Why would they open the area already if Media Day is May 20th?

Big Easy Balloons, maybe. All of Mardi Gras...I highly doubt it.

^ Yeah, Big Easy Balloons and Jesters Wild Ride might have a soft opening. Just a guess, though.

According to Chitown, Mardi Gras won't open until everything is ready to open-so if that is true, I doubt it is open. Plus that date was set back in March, wasn't it? Many things can affect what day it opens.

As Papas stated, Big Easy Balloons and Jester's Wild Ride were open. The dummies for King Chaos are taken out. Jester's Wild Ride was not bad, and Big Easy Balloons was okay. Other than that, today was an odd day at the park(TR coming soon).

Ragin' Cajun, the coaster, is not open yet(and I doubt it will be ready for this Sunday).

The ride looks pretty complete but looking at all the latticework in the station scares me.

most probably, the may 20th media day is for Rajin' Cajun. But i think King chaos will be open before that. I just think they wanted media day for cajun. I didn't get a chance to go on baloons and Jester's today but maybe tomorrow.

I think they made Media Day that late just for the fact that the wanted to be sure that everything would be open for sure.

Well first, how were they, were they worth the wait, which brings me to my second question. How were there lines, was there a big demand to ride them. Also, about how many people can Jester... fit. It looks really small.

Also if anyone gets any pics, be sure to post them.

ON JWR I think there was 7 or 8 rows but 1 of them were closed already and only 2-3 adults can fit in each row. It is pretty small but pretty darned fun. The line was only about 5 minute wait. Revy is defnitley a longer wait!
