Now THAT is impressive! The stroller parking looked like something right out of Disney World! And even more impressive is that all rides were open and operating at capacity. Even the skyride was running both sides :)
Nice job Gadv and thanks for bring us these updates Amusementpics.com :)

That's crazy
Did they have Valet parking for the Strollers ? LOL
I bet they could have made money on that also.
Looks like they got a winner and I'm sure they are booking them already for a future event.
Six Flags wanted the Families and they got them
OK what else is big Kids stuff these days ?

also great work Amusementpics

Those pictures were great! It's nice to see the potential we knew the park had when operating correctly. Awesome Job for anyone reading this that works at the park!

There were more people sitting on the benches, in the eateries and on the walkways than in line for the coasters. The lines for the rides without height restrictions (unless accompanied by an adult) were longer than usual...like early 1980?s long. El Toro never seemed to have more than a quarter-filled queue house, Rolling Thunder had a one train wait and the Chiller line did not extend outside of the powerhouse. Yet Tango had a three cycle wait and the Parachutes needed every bit of those chutes.
After the show ended I had bumped into a family who was having a problem finding a ride that every member of their family could enjoy together. They probably went into the direction of The Runaway Train, Medusa, El Toro and Rolling Thunder and they had children under the 44'' height requirement. I drew circles around some 20 rides they could ride together. (Hey they wanted me to, but I was getting all OCD.) They had never been to the park and were unfamiliar with rides like Houdini, Sponge Bob, splashwater falls and Rapids. I would love to know how the lines were for those rides!

Dan, were the chutes running at full capacity to?

I could not see the back pair of chutes from my location, but I saw three parachutes in the air at the same time. It's possible that all 8 were running.

I think I made the right choice by not going to the park that day but rather to Georges. :)

Wow, Thats impressive, That is just a massive swarm of strollers, similar to the Persian Army

I didn't see all 8 runnning but I am pretty sure that at least 6 were up and running at around 6 PM . It was one of the last things we did in the park on Sunday .
