A few highlights. . . . . . .
I arrived at the park at 7:00 pm only to find out that they were making everyone who was there for the evening festivities stay outside the gates (which were closed until 8:00 pm) while all of the day guests were filtered out of the park.
Jimmy Neutron, Shrek, Twister, and Revenge of the Mummy were all open. Monster's Cafe, Finnegans, and a few other shops in the area were open.
The single rider lines was opened and closed sporadically. People were filling it rather than wait in the regular line which went from 15, 45, 75, 90, to 60 minute waits. Shrek, Twister, and Jimmy Neutron were a constant 15 minute wait.
The first time through was 6 minutes from entry to load platform. When I went back outside the line was all the way down to Shrek. Since I was alone I employed a strategy which allowed me to ride 12 times in 90 mins. I think most of you know what that is. I did go through the single rider line once; it took 20 minutes.
They were checking AP's at the ride entrance for a bit and also making sure there were no bags, back-packs, etc. brought on to the ride. A lot of people were mad that they stood in the line approaching ROTM only to be told they needed to put there stuff in a locker.
Several "plus size" guests were upset that there were no test chairs in front of the ride. If there were, they misssed them. I don't believe there are any. Several times I saw people get in the ride and then have to get out due to the restraints. I felt bad for them.
There was a DJ across the street and a large video screen showing the first movie.
I'm determined to track you down when we're there. I always say, "One can never know too many marauders! "
