I love that our school district makes us go to school on Columbus Day, but the following Monday we also have a teacher inservice day, so I always go the Sunday after Columbus Day, and there's never anybody there! It's like a ghost town!

As expected, today produced the usual massive HalloWeekends Saturday crowds. Cars were parked anywhere and everywhere on the peninsula, including a considerable number on the "island" halfway down the Causeway. Magnum and Iron Dragon seemed to be down for the count most of the day and into the evening. Generally speaking there were full queues for just about anything that could produce a line.
"Thank the Phoenicians!"
The crowds were amazing.. I have never seen so many people.. I was shocked watching people walk down the causeway to the cars, the far right lane was coned off so people could walk to their cars. It took over 1/2 hour just to leave the parking lot -- at 9:30pm.
Great day tho.. weather was beautiful... saw two shows, the parade, got on raptor, maverick, mine ride, space spiral, wildcat, and power tower shoot up....
Unfortunately, the hotdogs were not cooked thoroughly, we had bad food, they most likely couldn't keep up with the crowd. - Coasters fries were cooked perfectly, but the burger was a little dry...
Busy day, absolutely, still had a great time. :)
GATEKEEPER-I came, I rode, I was mildly disappointed; until a second ride (rear left) put GateKeeper back on the...it's a nice ride list.
I've been saving their webcam pics since 2007 ( lot of webcam pics) and saved a few from yesterday.The TTDcam always showed the TTD line way outside of the TTD entrance. The Pagoda and HalloWeekend cams always showed a 'sea' of people. Went Friday and goimg today(Sunday),should be a large crowd but not like yesterday.

Just got home... I was there Friday night and all day Saturday. Saturday was as busy as I have ever seen CP. At one point my wife had to wait in a 20 minute line.... for the ladies room. During the evening the lines for both Cornstalkers and Eternity Infirmary ran back almost to the mine ride, and they had employees with signs on sticks indicating to people where the lines began.
