^Thanks. Jonrev cleared that up to me. Well I guess they don't get that busy until then anyways and since it's to save money. Well, sorry I got off-topic.I'll take pics of Vu's old spot and get some pics of TDK when I go opening day. Who else is going?

Hmm.. I still don't know if I'm getting a season pass this year. I might be Great America out for this year, anyways, I probably will, but then again I have a new internship that will not allow me to get out that much. AHH! I don't know what to do, what to do? I do live like 30 minutes from SFstl. but for the summer/end of May, SFgam is my home park. The earliest I think I could/would go to Great America is after memorial day and by then it's usually really crowded.

Just a few questions...
1. How busy is Six Flags opening day?
2. How many rides are usually closed?
3. Was Six Flags hit by that huge thunderstorm we had in Milwaukee last night?
4. How can you get the best discount?

1. Really depends, recent trends, opening day has been getting more popular and busier but then again the park is opening up about a week earlier then previous years.
2. Well, That also depends; All the coasters should be up and running, I know the blue side of American Eagle is down. There is sections (towards back of park that will not open until 11) Other then that you won't be able to tell until you get there. Was there a specific ride you were hoping that would be open?
3. I actually do not know
4. Get a season pass! If you go to the park just twice it pays for the pass. Otherwise if you go to sixflags.com you are able to print off tickets for $39.99, Tickets at the gate are $54.99. Season passes at the gate or online are $89.99 for individual and $84.99 for family 4 pack. To me getting a season pass is great! You can go to what ever sixflags park you want and as many times as you want. Other then that, I really do not think six flags has "deals". They run promotions such as; Save $15.00 at the gate and stuff like that.

^^ The park was in the line of the thunderstorm that came threw last night. But I dont think its a big deal. Everything in the park was made for outside use and can handle storms.

Although, I am worried about driving down today at 3:00pm right when the severe thunderstorm is supposed to hit. But its going to be 25mph winds going south. And if I make a sail and go south on 43/I-94 I should get great gas mileage :D

No, I just wans't sure that they would have everything open on opening day. I found this on some other forum. Appharently you can use the promo code COLDSTONE to get $30 tickets. Sweet deal!

Lets change that to less than a day now! :wink: :D

What are the average wait times for opening day and especially since it's going to be in the 40's and 50's but feels like in the 30's? What is usually the busiest coaster (besides SUF) Not to much longer until Bull! :D It's going to be my very first time riding in the back on Bull as well!

Tom will be mostly sunny with a high near 54 and breezy winds of 20mph.
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/
