I was just curious, is there a particular reason that AE and IW don't open at 10? I know it's a new policy, but I didn't know why they chose to do so.
they're all at the back of the park and people don't tend to go straight to IW and AE
^ that and to most likely save on the budget...while it may seem "wrong" to some, I'd rather see them start doing this right away rather than waiting until mid-summer.
While I dont have kids, Im sure some kids go straight to wiggles worlds. So i think it is VERY BAD to not open your premier/newest kids area when the park opens and intsead close(not that I think any should be closed once the park opens)one of the other two kids area's.
Any idea why both sides of AE wont be running???
When you mean rides that will open at 11AM, does that mean for the whole season?
^From my understanding, that's what it means. It's disappointing, to say the least, but much worse things could have happened.
Currently the plan is for the entire season, but it is definitely not set in stone.

Does this include Demon? Demon is in the middle of the park and family's with smaller children might want to ride this first, or after Whizzer.

Yes Demon is a 11 am ride.

Demon, American Eagle and the rest of County fair are not exactly rides I would want to go on first. Instead, I'll start with Superman, Raging Bull, Batman, Vertical Velocity and Dark Knight. wait...where is Iron Wolf?
IW would still be counted at County Fair.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
ok, heres the thing. sure, i dont like that certain rides open at 11, BUT there are how many other rides you can ride that im sure would waste an hour of your time. right? its not so bad...
This really isn't that big of a deal. It is only for one hour, and after that everything will be open. If you can't keep yourself occupied for an hour then don't come until 11.
I like pie
The only part I liked about going to County Fair in the morning was the fact that no one was there...and thats why they did the whole 11 thing. But now, when County Fair opens at 11, it will be a lot more busy because many people might wait at the entrance to a ride, or do everything else first, will go to the back at the same time.

I would hope that the Orbit, Loggers Run, and the Yankee Clipper will be opened on the first day.

I don't know how I would feel if I got wet on the water rides and it was only in the 50's. It is always cooler in Gurnee then the southern suburbs I'm told and it wouldn't be so fun to be all wet when the temps are around 60-65 degrees. Chilly...
The way to do water rides when its cold is to run as fast as you can to the ride so your hot. Then wear a life jacket, it keeps some water off of you. Then run back to warm back up.
When its cold, Roaring Rapids wont have any extreme water falls on so you dont get that wet. And Yankee Clipper doesnt get you that wet any time. The only ride I wouldnt want to ride when its cold would be Logger Runs. Because that ride gets you soaked. [read]
This is a good point! While most rides can be lived without for the first hour (since the park has a lot of other things to do obviously), i'm surprised their newest kid's section would be closed. I understand the logic completely and it's definitely a great idea to save money (especially since that side is always a ghost town at the beginning of the day anyway), but still kind of a bad idea being that Wiggles World is rather new and still quite popular at all times in the day. Thanks for starting this topic, i'll have to check back here more often when I plan on going this season! RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter

Why was Yankee Clipper not running? To whomever was at the park I wish I could get an update on Splashwater Falls.
According to the ride status list, Yankee Clipper is unndergoing maintenance. I like the new ride status thing, it's neat and very detailed.
Yeah I also like it to because then I can plan out what I am going to do when I get there and also what to expect what will be open and closed.

Love status thread! How often is it updated? Anyways, I knew AE Blue would most likely be closed, but why is Orbit and Yankee Clipper going under maintence?
Top 3 Steel Coasters: 1. The Incredible Hulk 2. Maverick 3. Dragon Challenge (Fireball)
Top 3 Wood Coasters: 1. The Beast 2. American Eagle (Red) 3. Hades
Why should any pre-existing ride not be running on open day??????
So I guess its too much to ask that you do your maintence or rehabs between Nov and April???? So I guess the almost 6 moths of off season isnt enough time to get this done??
