how long did you wait?

Sorry if somebody asked this but what time did you get to CP and how long did you wait to ride TTD.

I'm also curious! Was the line a lot faster today? Thanks

opening day, waited from 9:30am to 3:00pm, that puts my wait at 5 1/2 hours... who else?

Oh, well I meant today's wait for TTD (5/9), i'm not sure about tubby, but i think he meant the too. thanks anyway Chasity!!

I meant today also.

sorry, figured you were trying to find out, from ppl who didn't report on Sunday... my bad :)

I didn't think that most ppl that were at the point today would be home yet.

When I was there today in early afternoon, the line was listed as about 2 1/2 hours. I didn't get in line, I just went to get my season pass -- I've still got a week of studying left (boo).

Anyway. That was with only half the queue full. Five trains. Five cars each, including the back two seats. They're obviously having problems (either mechanical or train-loading) hitting intervals faster than 60 seconds, and there were a couple significant (10+ minutes) breakdowns.

But overall the crew was impressive, and they seemed to improve even during the time i was there. Should be running like a well-oiled machine by Memorial Day, I'd imagine.

Five-car trains launched without a hitch, and the ride looks quite impressive -- can't wait to actually RIDE it next week. I was so jealous.
Anyway, everyone seemed to love the ride; although it seems that people are having a hard time finding the entrance. A lot went to the Winner's Circle at first, only to be directed to the real one.

I just got home, and I waited for about 2 hours today for TTD. It would have been much shorter, but there were 2 significant breakdowns that lasted about 15 minutes and one that lasted about 5. The trains were launching about 1:30-2:00 minutes apart. I would also like to say that all the other rides in the park except MF were walk-ons.

I was also in the parking lot today around 11am. I could not believe how empty the main lot was. One full row all the way accross did not happen until around noon. I'm sure the heavy rains this morning kept people away early on.Any one there before noon? How long was your wait for TTD?

Man 5 hours on opening day I can't imagine what its going to be like by the end of June. WHEN I GO!

Yeah stringcheese, the line should be shorter by the end of June because by then TTD should have all 6 trains (and of course 5 cars) and the crew will probably be able to launch a train every 45 sec. or whatever it's supposed to be. That will make the queue move much faster.

Ha,ha. Oh no, are going to have to get one of those big 'ride entry' signs like Xcelerator just so people can find the entrance?

My son, a friend of his, and I waited from 8:30 (outside the park) until 12:55 (when we launched) last Sunday. His friend went again today (Friday) and said he waited about 15 minutes. I don't know what time he rode.

Hey pagoona, What time did you get to CP?

We're they using the Freeway Pass on Friday for TTD?

Life is too short...go ride a coaster!!

I got on last night at like 8:40 or so and waited around 45 minutes I think. Then we decided to wait out for the front seat, which we ended up being one train short of getting (ride was closing). But still got to ride it, just wasted a lot of time.

But it was nice having every other ride walk on (only exception while I was there was MF at about 10minutes).

TUBBY: I got at the park at 10:30, but got in line for TTD at 3 and and ride a little before 5. You can read my trip report here.

We got in line right before 8pm last night and we got off the ride around 9:15 even though the sign said 2 hours. Then we ran back in line to get another ride before the Joe Cool 9:30 cut off and only waited about 25 minutes.

Much better than the 4 and a half hours on opening day.

I went in line for Dragster at 3:20 and got on it at 6:10! It was *so* worth it though, and woul dhave been shorter minus the technical difficulities and waiting for the front row!
