Help! IOA w/o FOTL

[crusader]

What can I expect if I want to go to IOA next year on 10/30/03 (Thurs) and do not have FOTL access.

Is it usually crowded w/ long coaster lines? How much time will it take to tour the park?

The morning will have light crowds, lines are short.
If you get there at 9am when they open, it takes about 4 hours to take a lap. If you go real slow and look at the details, then it can take a couple hours longer.
In the afternoon, the park will be gearing up for HHN, depending on where it will be held next year.
At night the place will be jammed as the locals come out for HHN.
