that's a nice image to finally see.

why? it will be dead, you'll probably have the run of the park. off season weekdays at knott's are great.

it should be so dead you won't need any plan. maybe the only plan would be if you want to get off the ride or go again. lol

I would still hit up Ghostrider at opening and then head to the back of the park. If you wait to ride GR until later, you are proabably looking at a 60-90 min wait or more. It takes awhile for people to make it to the back of the park, so I would attack your day like this: GR/Xcelerator/Coast Rider/Hangtime/Pony/TMLR/Mine ride. The TMLR and Mine rides are pretty high capacity, so your waits shouldn't be bad if you save them until the afternoon. they may also be doing the single rider line which i was told is only on the weekends. so i have no experience with it myself. maybe get a ride in right at opening, then another later if there is indeed a single rider line.

looked like the same watch they have at six flags over georgia. they were very comfortable.

as long as it's a renewal you should be fine. if it were a new purchase, maybe you might have an issue if it hadn't been activated at kings island. but even then, i'm sure you'd be able to get in.

in the past few years i've only ridden two boomerangs i can remember. the carowinds one because i wanted to try the vest restraints i hadn't yet, and invertigo at kings island because it was inverted, and i hadn't been on one since cga's. other than that, i've skipped them at every park i've been to. probably 10? just a random guess out of about 20 parks. they were cool when they first came out, but now i spend my time doing something else, even waiting for others to get off of them.

I don't know, it takes 5-10 minutes or less to drive from an Airbnb in Sandusky to the park. If you have a Gold or Platinum Pass you get the same early entry as the hotel guests. You make rope drop as a non-hotel guest and you'll get very close parking. Walk to the hotel entrance. Not that many extra steps, and you get a much bigger and nicer placer to stay at a small fraction of the cost. But that being said, I certainly support anyone staying on site and supporting the park. I'm not a cheapskate myself, but I appreciate a good deal. If anyone wants to full CP experience I fully support it, and I support people supporting my #1 park in the world. but you can’t just walk back to the room, drop a deuce in a private and clean toilet and be back to your day. that’s the best part for me. LOL

it was kind of fun standing in the 105 degree sun without cover.

they even laid down a foundation for the building. i'm not sure i've seen that before, or never paid close attention. best part of the ride was the code for a free google home hub.

i'd uber/lyft. i think some have done public, but to me that's way too much a hassle, and, imo, possibly not that safe.

from what i saw on some social media, it was packed today, and i assume tomorrow will be the same.

i went with my brother in law and nephew today. the single rider line is supposedly only in effect on the weekends. makes sense i guess. the parking lot was pretty packed, but the lines on the major rides weren't too bad. i came later and my brother in law and nephew waiting an hour for Ghostrider. later it we waiting 50 minutes. silver bullet was a walk on. xcelerator was about 20-30 minutes, and hangtime roughly 30-40 minutes. i guess most were families doing the family things inside knott's. the parking lot made you think the lines would be enormous, but they weren't.

At least 3 Coasterdynamix nanocoasters coming to Magic Mountain. https://www.facebook.com/coasterdynamix/posts/10155635641471431

just shows big foot rapids and La Revolucion. you can see that info under the calendar and hours on the website.

i don't know about Whiskey Pete's and Terrible's/Primadonna or whatever it's called these days, but i've stopped by Buffalo Bills the last three times i've driven by just for the hell of it. that place was a complete ghost town each time. maybe need to go on a holiday weekend or something to see it's current potential. i'm guessing my last Desperado ride was still in the 90's. i'd give it one more ride for the hell of it since i've never really ridden it since it's gotten bad. or, other coasters have gotten so much better, or i've just become sensitive to crappy coasters. at least to say with personal knowledge, yeah, it sucks now.

i only know i pay $190 for renewal.

i was shown a Mack water coaster thing.

Holiday in the Park opening night!! Theme Park Review was invited to experience opening night of Holiday in the Park. We got to sample all the foods that will be available during "Taste of the Holidays Food Festival". It runs Dec. 15th-30th. I believe it will be one of those punch card type deals. SFMM really looks impressive this year. There are next to no spots that aren't lit up. New this year is Merry Lane in Metropolis. Huge ball ornaments dominate the landscape with colorful light shows. Of course it snows here too every 20 minutes I believe. Santa's Cottage is also new this year. It's located in front of Bugs Bunny World. Santa's there of course being it's his cottage, and there's crafts for children also. Santa even got to meet some Kardashian's while we were there tonight. On to some pictures! Food! More food! And More Food! This was my favorite. Chicken and Waffle. Real crispy tender chicken nugget. The waffle is like infused with syrup. So rich and delicious! Hot chocolate to go with a peppermint brownie and pork cranberry slider. After losing the world series bet to SFNE, Neal had to wear a Red Sox jersey all day along with naming Revolution to Red Sox Revolution. San Onofre at SFMM Orange ball Blue ball 4 balls Someone stepped on a plug. Entrance to the Gleampunk District S'Mores Peppermint Bark, and S'more Root Beer Cake Peppermint Pudding Parfait. Bacon Pecan Yams Prociutto Mac and Cheese. I think that's a typo, but that's what the card said. SFMM is selling these cute little guys for charity. A buy one give one. They will donate one with every purchase. There are a number of different ones to choose from. SFMM is selling these cute little guys for charity. A buy one give one. They will donate one with every purchase. There are a number of different ones to choose from. That's some of the most fun I've had at SFMM besides West Coast Bash. And I didn't even ride one ride! Not even the bus after parking in the gravel lot. There was a good sized car show in the parking lot, KROQ I believe had extended hours for their fans, and first night of Holiday in the Park had the place jam packed. Everyone seemed to be in such a good mood. It really was a great first night of Holiday in the Park. Look forward to getting back soon!! Big thanks to everyone at SFMM for their hospitality!

it was just into the red on the left side in the afternoon, and right side i'm not sure it hit the red at all.

couple people get busted ripping off people stuff.

oops, i meant santa clarita.

So Valencia is like Los Angeles where there's all these areas within, but not actual real cities?

it does when you go, Knoebels, Hershey, then Cedar Point for 3 days!

now if anyone is bored, you can time the dispatch intervals on ghostrider.
