We had a good couple hour visit in the morning. Would've liked one last ride on Medusa, but the line was too long thanks to all of the signs.

Our days of riding RT are definitely over as we only had 20 rides this year. You know the dispatches are horrible when 2 people who love the ride can't stand to ride it anymore.

We got there late as we had bowling , soccer and CCD in the morning . we pulled in and went right to the line for kingda ka . With a 45 min wait the kids really wanted to ride. We used our parent swap and everyone was happy to ride before the season ended. we also did ET and RMT . The line for Rolling thunder was INSANE . It took myself and my two kids as long as it did my husband and one daughter to ride ET to get on to rolling tunder . They need to do someting about the wait time up there it is INSANE .

We wanted to see the parade so we did as well as the opening of dead mans party . The kids love it. Went on BDK for my son and nitro . Skull mountain wasn't too bad either . All in all it was a nice visit and seeing the sign for medusa lead us no to ride it either . The lines were too long . I don't like the new blue if it stays that color and it doesn't open till may 15th . I can't wait for opening day already .

The RT situation isn't going to change. The ride needs enthusiasts, but the way this park treats the people who really care about their job, there isn't enough enthusiasts to "trickle down" to RT. I'm glad the El Toro crew held up this year tho.
