BREIF STORY
Sat.
As I am pulling in to the parking lot I relize that the Sean Paul concert is out there. I decide totake my chances seeing that it is raining and has been raining all morning. I enter the park to see that it is dead inside. I decide at 9:45 to hope KK for what would have been my third ride of the day, there was bearly any wait. I waited 15 minutes for the second row of the teal Train,I boarded it at 10:00. We rolled out onto the launch track it went through the sequece and the little apeal. then all of a we jerked forward, and came to a stop with the catch car still attached to us. we were stuck on the launch track for a half hour.
Sun
Went back to the park and met up with a freind from school. We rode many rides till he had to leave at 1:00, then I went of to get launch at teds cheese steak. I then went to check to see if KK had opened, which had not. It would not at all on Sunday because of the break down on Saturday night.

I amazed that you said it is a very light crowd for the Sean Paul concert. I was so sure they park was going to be packed.
