Sweet. I always like watching the people on Six Flags TV while in line for the DArk Knight. Also is it cold?

Is it me or was that the longest line in the park yesterday Huh? I do hope they get that fixed up by the end of the week when the weather is suppose to be close to 70 degrees . Cant even think of the way that line is going to be then .

You can only get people through so fast. Everyone just goes at once, so just like a ride there is only so much that can be done.

At least the pavement is not black like it used to be.

It only takes about 30 seconds per person at Kings Dominion. How long did it take at Great Adventure?

It wasn't any issue with how long it takes.  In fact, I commend them for having such an awesome system.  I think the problem was that nearly everyone in the park on opening day had to be processed lol.

I'd say the only other way to resolve this is to maybe go back to having a day for processing in the off-season like they used to have but I think they were counting on people renewing online with the mailed out passes to alleviate that burden.  It's also possible that NEW season pass sales are up so much that it caused a lot of new passholders to require first-time processing.

Once inside the building it took maybe a grand total of 5 minutes so it wasn't that bad once you were inside Smiley.  I am really glad it wasn't raining or too hot though!
