There are many signs for Dark is Rising by El Toro.
So don't be surprised if that is the ride that is open.

I am wondering how this is going to work, seeing as there will be no bathrooms opened. We have been told to close all bathrooms at the parks normal closing time(11:00). So this means an hour with no bathrooms opened, but this order came from the dept heads not the high management(Kane).

WadeJ · « **Reply #9 on:** September 27, 2007, 04:41:03 PM »

Interesting lol

I'm guessing (and hoping) that they will at least keep the front gate bathroom open? There is no way they could have nothing open but I'd completely understand if they need to limit what is available.

Since the park is open til 11PM anyway, I'm curious how they plan to handle clearning the park down to just where the open rides are. That could end up being a real pain for security.

It ended up being a great night

Although the staff even seemed a bit confused as to what was and wasn't open but since we were staying with Toro it didn't matter. RT, Toro and Medusa stayed open the extra hour.

Without a doubt, Toro is way faster towards the end of the night so getting those late rides (all 12 or 13 of them I think) was awesome

.

Nice seeing some familiar faces up in the Toro station as well. You guys rock. Thanks for the great night!

Last night, it was only me and Jeff (drunkmunkey on Source) and we were with a bunch of people earlier, and they left, but the people that were staying with us got kicked out. Almost all of the staff didn't know about last night. In fact, we were told the park was closed and we had to leave by security! But we did make it (^as you saw), and we rode Rolling Thunder in the last row (only people on it) and El Toro...jeez, I lost count, definately more than 8, that's for sure.

It was a fun filled night seeing Friends with family and giving out comps! Hopefully everything was better then the last visit.

WadeJ · « **Reply #13 on:** September 30, 2007, 10:24:44 AM »

Everything was outstanding actually

Best visit we've ever had. And that was BEFORE the bill

Wade... Wish you had stopped by GR last night. I was there until 1 am!!!

WadeJ · « **Reply #15 on:** September 30, 2007, 10:58:28 AM »

agghhhh

Chuck and I actually commented on the way out wondering if you would still be there that late lol

Since it was 20 after 12 we just assumed you probably weren't there that late with how few people remained in the park.

Sorry we missed ya!
