2010 opening day April 17th?
^I'd guess that would be the only one that has a chance due to the college and high school students still being in school.
bad business day for the park to say the least. im all set for next weekend whic so far looks warmer (60's) and clear skies. Should be busier but nothing extreme.
Saturday 59 70% scattered t-storms Sunday 51 (lol) 80% rain/thunder And WHAT was last weekend like? And the one before? 13 Years with SFGAm World!
24 hours and 45 minutes away!
 I'll be wearing an Aaron Rodgers jersey (Can't wait for the reaction in Illinois) so if any of you see me, give me a holler!!Have a take and don't suck, it's the Jim Rome Show!
The weather said yesterday it was supposed to rain and it didn't and so far today it didn't so there is a small chance that it will rain tmorrow. Besides, I am going no matter what the weather is like
let's just focus that opening day is less than 24 hours away
SF trips 09 = 15
SF trips 10= 11 SF trips 11 =7
^Isn't that what we've been doing this WHOLE time?
Have a take and don't suck, it's the Jim Rome Show!
Small chance?  This is a a 72 hour precipitation forecast. Notice anything in particular about Northern Illinois? 
And what is a 2.00?
^I believe it is.
Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.
Coaster Count: 167 (41 Wood, 125 Steel) @Coaster_Cole on Twitter
That is the projected amount of rainfal in inches over the next 72 hours.
 A good day for outdoor activities, and there are going to be thunderstorms? huh!
^That forecast makes no sense. It says under Today Sun Followed by Clouds, and it doesn't show rain, but underneath it says for day night thunderstorms, and rain. That is a messed up site wherever you are getting it from. I just hopes it rains bad on Friday so it will go away tomorrow. Right now, on the map I see a bunch of rain. Please, pour and pour TODAY!! Get rid of it out of your system weather.

^If you look closely, the bottom forecast is for tomorrow (The one with the lightning and rain)

As me and Galvan have pointed out, the National Weather Service should be the ONLY site you use for weather.
David, that looks like weather.com and if you see right below your forecast it says "2 INCHES OF RAIN ON THE WAY" Do you have an idea how much 2 inches of rain is when you compare it to snow? 2 inches of rain is approximately 20 inches of snowfall. You can be positive, but unless your a hop and a skip away from the park, just wait until next weekend. That 2.00 means the Chicago area can expect around 2 inches (1.5-2.5 more or less) of rain Saturday and Sunday
Everyone should wait till next weekend. Nothing must-go about this Saturday and Sunday. This isn't the opening weekend of Little Dipper. This isn't HH opening weekend. What's one more week? Just a thought that right now next weekend so far says 30% chance both days but more than likely it will be clear and at least 10-15 degrees warmer.

Score, more rain to keep the people away. Now I just hope they open something tomorrow in the park.
What coasters are able to be run in the rain?
Have a take and don't suck, it's the Jim Rome Show!
if it's a CONSTANT DOWNPOUR Nothing will open, but if it's a constant drizzle, I don't see why not?
The Dark Knight Coaster is the only coaster that operates in all weather. All outdoor coasters will shut down in heavy rain or if there is lightning. Ragin' Cajun, Whizzer, and Spacely's will not operate in any rain.
I don't know if I should go. I live 1h 15m away. I'm going with my friend who is only getting a 1-day ticket, and if the park closes, her money will be wasted. But seriously. It's OPENING DAY. I could wait another week, but do I want to? Of course not. Patience is a virtue, but it's not my virtue. ;P
I think I'm going to stick it out until tom. morning. Would it work out to call the hotline in the morning and ask if they're still opening? I know it still wouldn't be guaranteed that it'd be open all day, of course, but at least we'd know it'd be open for a little while. My parents will drop us off and be in the area; we could always get our hands stamped and leave if it rains and then come back if it clears up. Idk if that would work out, though. Oh well. Time will tell. "For whether you eat, drink, and whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 1st Corinthians 10:31
Oh well anyone who doesn't have a season pass would be nuts to go in that weather. Don't waste your friends money.
Not worth the hour drive. I would only make the drive to get my pass processed and see the park again, but then I would leave pretty quickly and go to the Milwaukee casino for a little mindless fun 
You're probably right. Maybe we should just go next Sat.? Ugh, ugh, ugh.

Weather.com says that at 10 am it will be 50% chance of rain and 50 degrees and then from 12 to 8 it says 30% Thunderstorms and 55 degrees
Sunday looks the worst. Not even 50 degrees. On a roller coaster that is painful.
