17 days!

I can't wait.

by hersheycoaster14 2012-03-22, 08:32

I know sooperdooperlooper and skyrush will not be open but will everything else be open in comet hollow?

by HPCrazy 2012-03-22, 09:25

Yes, Comet and Wave Swinger will be running. I'm not sure about the relocated game stands as well as the food stands in the area. My guess is that they'll try to open up all of that stuff.

by hersheycoaster14 2012-03-22, 16:02

Ok thanks HP Very Happy

Awesome pictures yo

I can't wait to ride Great Bear and Lightning Racer on Friday :')

by stormrush 2012-04-02, 21:38

Does anyone know what the crowds might be like thursday, friday, or saturday?

by stormrush 2012-04-02, 21:41

^Wow. I just realized the park isn't open thursday Razz

, my bad

by hersheycoaster14 2012-04-03, 08:09

Im about to explode! Im so excited for Friday!

by thom25 2012-04-03, 08:52

^ The weather this weekend is supposed to be great, so I would expect big crowds on Friday and Saturday. With Sunday being Easter, that should be the better day to visit.

by HPCrazy 2012-04-03, 09:36

Yeah, but I think Sunday is supposed to be the warmest out of the three days. I think Friday is supposed to be the coolest, temperature-wise. Saturday "may" be the busiest out of the three due to the expected teens and youth coming over from the Youth Convention at Giant Center (they always designate that day as their day in the park for some reason). I would expect Friday to be crowded too, unfortunately, but the cooler temps "may" prevent some of those people from coming out that day and go Saturday instead since it's supposed to be warmer. If the forecast would happen to change and call for the temps to really warm up, then we could see a repeat Good Fri as what happened two years ago when the park got swarmed and they weren't prepared for it. As far as Sunday, from past years and hearing various people who have attended on Easter, the morning is usually pretty decent but after Easter services are usually over, then the crowds pick up a bit.

by hersheycoaster14 2012-04-03, 09:45

Thanks for all the tips. Maybe I will go Saturday.

by stormrush 2012-04-03, 18:01

Thanks for all of the advice!

by hersheycoaster14 2012-04-05, 22:37

Almost only a half a day till the gates to heaven open! I'm so excited even though I'm not going till Saturday.

by BrandonStrouphauer 2012-04-05, 22:38

Tomorrow morning bright and early, ALT will be in the Park for an in-park update on "what's new." We hope you keep tuned. Very Happy

by hersheycoaster14 2012-04-05, 22:57

Yea I will! Can't wait for the updates!

by hersheycoaster14 2012-04-06, 11:00

Saw this on my iPod app, sooperdooperlooper is closed, coal cracker is closed, and this one makes me cry Fahrenheit is closed. Tell me if I'm wrong but that's what it said on my app.

by thom25 2012-04-06, 11:39

We will know shortly. Keep in mind the park's web page wasn't updated today and actually said the park was closed today.

by rushrunner 2012-04-06, 11:45

i went on the park page this morning and it said they were opened..

by thom25 2012-04-06, 11:59

I just talked to the ALT team, while they were waiting in line for GB. They weren't aware of any closed rides and will get back to us shortly. As you can see from the picture below taken this morning, it's a beautiful day.

FH was indeed down all day.

by BrandonStrouphauer 2012-04-07, 11:14

Fahrenheit is currently listed closed(as of right now) I will post updates if I see it's not listed as closed. Today is a beautiful day for the Park. Anyone going? I'll be going again tomorrow.

by BrandonStrouphauer 2012-04-07, 15:50

UPDATE: Fahrenheit is now being reported as OPEN.

by hersheycoaster14 2012-04-07, 16:45

I'm on my way there right now! About 15 minutes away!

by hersheycoaster14 2012-04-07, 23:27

Man what a great day! It's been about six months since I rode a coaster and it felt great! Man when ur there u kinda feel bad for comet. Compared to skyrush it looks so wimpy.

by Assagor 2012-04-08, 01:27

I disagree! Comet looks like a classy lady, Skyrush is a dolled up strumpet just showing off too many curves.

by hersheycoaster14 2012-04-08, 08:32

Oh dont get me wrong I love comet. Anyways I saw that storm runner only had one train yesterday. anyone have anyclue what that was all about.

by BrandonStrouphauer 2012-04-09, 12:35

From what I understand, I think the other train wasn't ready to be assembled yet. Unless they resolve this problem this week, it'll also probably be a one train operation this weekend again.
