We rode last night, after waiting about an hour and a half.

Heheh, but a bargain at ONLY Two and a Half hours if you got there at rope drop!

Holy schneikies! Do you mean it was somehow already 2 1/2 hours and THEN they did rope drop, or do you mean that once the dust settled after rope drop, it stabilized at 2 1/2 hours?

I mean we got in line in the Esplanade for the turnstyles at 8:00 a.m., got in the Park at 8:09, headed straight for the Subs (admittedly with hundreds of people in the Park 9 minutes before us), and the end of the line was in the Motorboat Cruise area, with a two-and-a-half hour wait from that point.


Really destroyed my Get-There-When-Park-Opens strategy. And who knows how may hotel early-entries figured into the twisted equation?


But one thing's for sure. A lot of us are going to have to arrive next weekend by 6 am to face a two-hour sit in the Esplanade, or deal with a two-hour stand in the Nemo queue if we arrive closer to 8.

Oy.

Just let me know, and The Boy and I will be there. He can live for a couple of hours on a banana and a breakfast bar. Of course he may not see it that way...

Are you talking about Saturday? If so I'd agree the 2+ Hour wait at opening came from all the Early Entry folks that got in ahead of you. Add to that the stamped caused by the rope drop....

On Sunday with no Early entry and no rope drop things should be a bit more sane. I would say getting in line no more than an hour before hand should do. Hopefully we can get an intelligence report from someone that came to the park this morning (Sunday).

did u already ride it ?????

umm we will just drive from vegas friday night and go right to the park and just sleep in the Esplanade .. lol who wants to camp out lol

um, except the Park meet is on Sunday.


Come to the Cemetery Screening of The Haunting with us on Saturday night. Then you can crash at my place for a few hours before we head to the Park before opening. Heheh.

Is the wait time still unholy? Is it really neat-o? I'll miss the mermaids from the old sub ride. :(

Oof. Long lines. :( I'm not gonna lie- I whine like a muthertrucker in the heat. Then, I begin to howl that I'm hungry. Now I'm thirsty. I feel my face melting ala Raiders of The Lost Ark.Then, back to whining & slumping because I just know that I'm nearing death from long-line-itis. No, really. Then, I bitch about anything & everything & swear that I need to sit in the Abe Lincoln attraction all day just to cool down.

I would make everybody cranky. Because I suck. Honest Injun.;) :p
