Bummer :(.  Can't say I blame them though.  Hopefully word gets out there soon enough.

Bummer...I was really looking forward to going. I don't think the rain is the problem. I'm pretty sure the 25mph winds are whats causing trouble.

Keep an eye on our Twitter feed.  We broke the news early this morning, and we'll keep ya updated as much as possible.  Sometimes it's too hard to post and super easy to tweet when we get "Breaking News"

yeah. I'm getting a little jumpy about it right now since I spread word to some of my friends at school. Being the jokers they think they are, they tell me it's either today or tomorrow(for the past 2 weeks). I've been looking at twitter since it got delayed, no word yet.

My guess is 'no'. It's no small feat to open one ride in the off-season, and they do have annual refurbishments to get started. The weather just hated the park this season, even when it tried to do good. :(

I just wish they'd officially say "no" so we know once and for all.  I'm guessing it's "no", but I'm still holding onto our donations just in case it still happens.

Yes it is opening day. (That was the joke.)
I suppose I should be more direct next time!  ;)

I believe they would have announced a date by now.
They could at least host a drop off day with no rides.
