I this was how it was like when I was there (This Wednesday): Busloads of kids make the park quite crowded and once they leave, the park becomes quite dead. When the school-kids were at the park, the wait on the Gold Striker was around 30 minutes. After all the schoolkids left, the wait was significantly shorter so I took a mini-ERT to pass the time.
Something funny I saw: While I was the Star Tower, I saw a half naked guy on the Gold Striker twirling his shirt around. The operator and I were laughing.
