8AM?! That's awesome! Stupid SATS lol.

I still can go for the 31st hopefully. Just about 50 days left then!

I'll probably be there on Friday the 31st then. That actually works great for me. What's up with the 8am opening??? It's great, but I feel bad for the opening maintenance and operations crew, they'll have to be there SO early. I really like the fireworks though. Great touches for this early in the season, lets hope it's all as good as it sounds.

Scrolling along to later in the year, the park will be open until 11 on Saturdays starting in mid-June and through Laborday weekend. That is cool. I am liking the hours. You can expect to see me there bright and early on April 1st.

There open till 11pm every day??

Edit: Woops, just saw that it's only Saturdays...

Anyone really look at the shows and events page yet???

Two big notices are

Family Fright Fest and Two big concerts the beach boys and foreigner. I wonder if there are big changes in stor for FF this season more family friendly is what I am thinking .

Glad to see the park is getting a buzz lets see how well it works.

Cool. If I go Saturday I'm going to get up very early. I think it will pay off no very small lines though.

Excellent ! It's opening on Friday !
I'll be there at 8 A.M. with my camera.

^Orlando the park opens at 10am Friday and 8am on Saturday. Maybe you want to beat the crowds ? I not sure ? but I wanted to let you know before you got to a locked gate on Friday. I'll be there early but around 9:30am.

I hope they dont lose thier edge. Halloween themeing is nice, but we still go for the scare lets not forget!

sounds like i might have to take off of school this year to keep my tradition alive!

ChuckR · « **Reply #12 on:** February 07, 2006, 02:09:30 PM »

Well the Fright Fest info still says thrills by days and chills by nights. So, I have no clue how this will turn out.

David Jr · « **Reply #13 on:** February 07, 2006, 07:26:47 PM »

Wade, it is a tradition at OTC, on the moday after the Stupidbowl, for about 1/3 of the drivers and 1/2 of the laborers call out sick to get over the hangovers :x . When you work as hard as we do, you drink as hard as a college frat :roll: :lol: .

coastermom · « **Reply #14 on:** February 07, 2006, 07:48:08 PM »

if hubby is off we will go on the 31st. The kid are off in NYC from school that day . Looking forward to the changes in the park and the new friendlier staff.

WadeJ · « **Reply #15 on:** February 10, 2006, 10:31:46 AM »

Just a heads up...

We received word that the opening day hours are the following:

March 31st, opening day - 5PM to 11PM

Please continue checking sixflags.com for the latest operating hours. It is always possible that things could change on other operating dates as well.

And yes, there are still fireworks EACH NIGHT on opening weekend! (weather permitting of course)

coastermom · « **Reply #16 on:** February 10, 2006, 03:38:24 PM »

Oh darn :? . Was looking forward to a day in the park not really a night . We will have to see how the weather is too cold and we will go on the 1st instead. Oh well still looking forward to going .

WadeJ · « **Reply #17 on:** February 10, 2006, 03:47:35 PM »

I have to agree that I was somewhat looking forward to a very empty park on the 31st. However, this schedule seems far more pratical in that nobody would have been there during the day on Friday anyway. Well, except a few of us from here lol.

With a 8AM opening on Saturday, its hard to get upset over this small change. I would think that this gives them even more time on Friday during the day to get things ready without the guests in view so I'm cool with it

gadvrider2 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 10, 2006, 11:56:04 PM »

Since it would only be the die-hard fans on friday, we should have very short lines for all the rides. I think we should even have some sort of meeting at the park so we could all get to know and meet each other in person.

snowboard101 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 13, 2006, 09:13:01 AM »

I still find it weird that the park would open at 8 on the first but the 31st opening at 5 works better for me because then I only have to miss my last class instead of a whole day to go.

WadeJ · « **Reply #20 on:** February 13, 2006, 09:44:39 AM »

The 1st is a Saturday

Families, etc. can show up on the 1st.

Friday would be more difficult for locals as most of us have school or work. 5PM makes a lot more sense on Friday, the 31st.

Its still a bit alarming that the parks website says 10am -8pm on the 31st but we were assured that is wrong. Hopefully they change it soon.

Actually they changed it on the Shows and Events Page.

WIth almost a month from opening, they still have a few weeks to make up their minds time wise.
