News: CP hopes for sunny days

http://www.pointbuzz.com/news.htm?id=912

I just got back 30 minutes ago from a trip on the 17th, 18th and 19th (I live 565 miles away here in NY), and let me tell you, forget the rain, the 48 degrees along with it was tough to take.

I rode MF in a pea size hail storm on the 18th which was crazy.

Then the rain basically closed the park at 4:30pm on the 18th. Followed by a nice rainy 49 degree morning on Friday the the 19th, although it got sunny and warmer by around 3:00 pm.

Looks like it's going to get better so enjoy.

They definitely got their sunny day today... and it came for a surprisingly large, but understandably large crowd.

No kidding, while leaving at 11:00 this morning, MF looked like an hour wait.

Yesterday, I got 5 rides in by that time.

BTW I saw the line from the resorts driveway. You can see most of the queue's from there and it looked like 2 queue's were already full at that point.

Compared to Friday when the line was at the ramp most of the day :) and I ended up getting 11 rides total for the day.

I'm going tomorrow and the forcast is sunny with 0% chance of rain. However, it will be a little on the cool side.

Wow. Looks like 89 F for next Saturday. Wonder what the lineups will be like for Snake River Falls (and, subsequently, Skyhawk)?

Yesterday afternoon & evening was packed! Headed back to the cabin to escape. The morning was not too bad, though.

Today was great. Not too terribly crowded, longest line I saw was Skyhawk at 45 minutes. A bit chilly but overall faaar better than the past two weeks.

Well the next ten days look sunny and beautiful according to the weatherchannel.

Yep... Alot of the forecast models are showing a much dryer (and hotter) pattern setting up.

Here comes Summer...
