Where are the mid-week reports???

I'm thinking of taking another trip to CP 8/23 to 8/26.

However, the mid-week reports on crowd size has been very limited this year. I have been checking the Dragster cam every day and judging from the Dragster line and the parking lot, it looks like the park has been pretty busy even during the week.

By the way, anyone know when schools start back up in Ohio?

Thanks

Most Ohio schools begin during the week of August 23rd, I believe. My daughter's starts on Tuesday the 24th.

It's been my experience this summer that the park has stayed pretty busy, even during the week. That's just the way it is this year, apparently. People are going to their local or regional park instead of taking a big, expensive vacay. And this part of the season (July to mid-August) is the busiest time for the Point as it is.

I have been to the Point 4 times this year so far, all during the mid-week and it has been extremely busy. We stood in a 45 minute line for Magnum yesterday, just as an example.

@jk: Sandusky schools go back on the 30th.

@Jesz: Only 45 min? That's almost walk on compared to the last few Sundays we've been there. :)

I was at the point on Wednesday this week (8/10) on my way back from Kings Dominion and Geagua Lake.

I first hit the water park because it was about to rain (late afternoon) and even the water park stayed crowded during the rain. Once the rain stopped, I made a bee-line to the park to try to get a few rides in. Gemini had a line 1/2 to witches wheel and the ride was not even open! I got on Magnum shortly after it opened and only waited 25 minutes. Then two spins on STR, single rider line. First time I was the only person in line (but 1/2 hour for regular line). Second time, there were four people in front of me, and I waited 25 minutes. Do not be deceived by the single rider line, it is V-E-R-Y slow moving. At most, 1 person every 5 minutes or so.

I was shocked at how crowded the park was on a weekday right after a hard rain. The parking lot was nearly full. Days like this, I'd rather not even be there.

We do most of our point trips before school gets out (end of may, early June), and Fridays/Sundays of Halloweekends. You get spoiled then for these busy summer days.

^Yeah, I know what you mean...for the last 3 years most of my trips are beginning and end of summer season trips with tiny waits, but due to work and other obligations my pre-Labor Day wknd weekday trip, which is the best time to go is out!! So I'm "forced" to go this Saturday. While thankfully I'll still have Boo Buzz, this Sat I'm pretty much expecting 2 hrs for everything :( But one TDD, MF, and Maverick ride is better than zero!

I am used to the walk ons Chase. lol. The past few years I have never seen a line for Magnum outside the station. I guess I have just been lucky. :)

Jesz go on most saturdays for Halloweekends if you want to see a substantial line for Magnum.
