Saturday the 9th Pictures

Daniel Smith's avatar

I was there this past weekend, never have seen it so crowed on Saturday. Got the the park for early ride time, then left to go out to eat. And saw the longest line of car's trying to enter the park, they were backed up on the Causeway over half it's length. By the time we got back it had cleaned on the Causeway but we ended up going around to the back and parking in Camper Village. I heard it got up to 52,800 people.
Here's a link to my photobucket, don't know how move them around to get them in order.

A beautiful weather Saturday in October drew a large crowd. Who knew?

It's working now. That picture of the parking lot is just crazy. I went last year on Columbus Day Saturday and it was busy but nothing like that.

That picture of Raptor's queue is unbelievable, I can't imagine waiting that long to ride. Makes me glad I chose my only trip this season midweek in late August, only a 2 train wait for the front row. Wonder how bad the lines for Millennium and TTD were?

Yeah just upload a picture of Raptors queue filled up at 1:09pm, did not get a picture of Millennium Force's queue I'll get a screen shot from my camcorder. After coming back to the park after 5pm and driving around to the back to Camper Village, I did see the queue was filled up on the Force. Magnum also had a full queue, again sorry don't have a picture of that. Same with Top Thrill Dragster, but heard it was around two hours.
Traffic on the causeway was crazy!

It was surreal to see a full queue on Mine Ride, that doesn't happen too often.

You would think by now most annual HalloWeekends guests would be aware of how busy Saturdays in October can be. Apparently the majority of them are fine with the massive crowds and long waits.

If the que on millinium force is to the vending machines thats 3 hour wait

That's not true.

I also have some pictures of the 10/9/2010 crowds. THIS picture speaks volumes.

Here is the entire album where you'll see the full Magnum queue, full Corkscrew queue, overflowing Ocean Motion queue, full Millenium queue, etc.:

If all the players are ready...at the sound of the bell, ROLL EM!

The park was defintely slammed on Sat. Iwondered all day if MS was running would that line have been full also. I have seen it semi-full on Halloweekends before.

The park being packed was aided with Bowling Green students having Fall Break.

Columbus weekend Saturday is always the most crowded Halloweekends day.

It was nothing but awesome for the Screamsters though.

Nice pictures Rotunda Chillin, yeah every were you look there was half full or full queue lines. With Millennium Force filled up I think it's an two and a half hour wait. Yes Mine Ride did have a full queue to.

Glad I took the wife to Niagara this past weekend. Lines were much shorter, but if one more Hindi speaking tourist had cut me off in line for tickets or the trolley or ketchup for my fries, I may have lost it.
