The park opens a week earlier than expected on Apr 26. I wouldnt expect big crowds for that day (doesnt look like the park is either, hours are 10-6). I would expect the next weekend to be pretty crowded, of course May crowds are always weather dependant.
The official TDK opening has not been announced yet, judging from what was advertised to season pass holders it is supposed to open memorial weekend.
Closing Day November 2.

Wow. This is the earliest SFGAm has ever got the schedule up. Opening weekend hours are 10-6 on Saturday 4/26 and 10-5 on Sunday 4/27.
Places where I've noticed cuts in hours: May weekends, park closes an hour earlier on Sundays Park open 10-7 the week after Memorial day, no Harbor Following week, 10-8 Hurricane Harbor is 10-6 weekdays until July September weekends are the same as last year Fright Fest. They must have changed it because right now, the official website says Saturdays are still 10-10, and Sundays have been cut to 10-8 from 10-9 last year. Due to Halloween falling on a Friday this year, there are 5 Fright Fest weekends with closing day on 11/2/08
Oh wow, it seems to be open earlier and later this year. As soon as the new year comes I'm going to search for someone to go with on April 26th.
Hey, can't start too early! Eh.......I got nothing.
very interesting. I'll have to write that one down. It's cool it's open later though.

Hopefully they have a good turnout...
I remember back when the park regularly opened the last weekend of April, nice to see them get back to it, though you know it's probably a test sort of thing and because of that the weather is going to be crappy, attendance low and it will go right back to may
 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
I am sure the earlier opening is because of a lack of private outings at the end of April.
They aren't doing this to please the general public crowd. They are even doing the operating hours like they do for the private outings. I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Open earlier and closing later, I like that.
Ah, can't wait. I'm getting chills just thinking about it, ha, and we still have 4 months left.
Wow, fright fest will be INSANE on halloween. (Try to do something other than FF on halloween)
I really hope that 08 will exceed 07. Even though we'll be two rides down, i think it'll be better. Cant wait for next season.
^Last time the park was open on Halloween it was DEAD.... no pun intendid.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.
^Tru dat.
What I liked best was getting everything 50% off. Man that was great. Literaly EVERYTHING!
Yeah, hopefully opening day will be more for enthusiasts then the GP. Although it might be selfish to say but face it, there are just days that enthusiasts should be able to go and not be bothered by the GP. Like opening day this year was crowded, along with closing day. I mean, do you think the GP cant wait one more week to go on coasters...I'm sure they don't go through the same "withdrawals" like us.
Call me selfish but I'm just saying...
^That would be neat, though it wouldn't happen.
I don't mean that they should close off the park to only enthusiasts. But since the park will open in April, that will mean not a lot of the GP will be there which will be nice for us.
Meanwhile the park is thinking: "I wish we could just stop enthusiasts from coming and only have normal guests." 
^Yeah, if theres no GP theres no money coming in....oh well though, as long as its better for us who cares....at least for that day.
Yes, but also keep in mind that that was a last minute decision since I think Halloween was on a Monday...and since it's a Friday this year...I would imagine that whole last weekend...to be nuts!
Halloween might be nuts, but once the calendar says November people are gonna assume that Six Flags is closed for the season. I bet that sunday will be near empty.
