Title: Columbus Day
Post by: peterpjr on October 08, 2006, 08:43:06 PM
I am thinking about going to the park tomorrow, Monday Oct. 9, Columbus Day.  Can anyone tell me if it is usually busy at the park on Columbus Day? 

Thanks.
Peter

Well I did go to the park today.  What a mistake.  It was packed.  I got there around noon.  There was a line to get through security.  I found a line that  just opened so I got right in.  I figured I would just rent a Gold Flash Pass and it would be tolerable.  That was until I saw the line for the Flash Pass Center, it was snaked around the fountain.  I turned around and went home at this point.  Drove all the way up for nothing.  Oh well.

Wow that was packed. I went last sunday and it was empty, imagine the first picture with only like 10-15 people there. Glad I didn't go then because I was planning to go.

Yesterday, the park was mobbed! We had a gold flash pass that made the trip worth it. But if I didn't get one, I would of been out of there.
