This is a little late into the year, but it should be good advice for the future. My visit for the year was during the first full weekend of the season. I flew in for the weekend, so going to the park was gonna happen, rain or shine. Well of course it was pouring rain as we woke up in the a.m. We had breakfast at a Perkins along the way. Still coming down hard after that...was about 9a.m. I believe. We drove to the park, and it was letting up some. We parked the car, first row! woohoo! As we got out of the car, the rain stopped completely!!! yes!!! Anyhow, to make a long story short, if it's raining, just dont avoid the park. We got on MF without any kind of wait whatsoever. The park did fill up later on, but we got 1/2 the coasters in by noon.
