Who cares about AAA Day? It's not like they will be the first to ride it anyway, the basket company has it the day before and media day is the 11th.
It's not so much being the so called first rider on opening day, first off the money goes to a good cause, second, you will be the envy of 3000 people in line, third, who can resist the continental breakfast for the bargain price of 200 bucks...
