Well, my friends are bailing on HH tonight and I'm debating what to do. If I go alone, I really just want to bang out some rides on DB-for it has been quite a while. But if I'm looking at long lines I may just skip it. Any estimate on DB lines tonight?

With it being a Friday night people may be going for just Haunt itself so the line may be really slim. Hard to tell though as the line can vary so much.

Last Friday night the line was roughly 10 minutes.

Thanks guys...sounds like it might be worth it!

What about lines for DB this Thursday?

It was great tonight...got 9 rides in...no wait on Drop Tower either. Going to have to go back to check out the haunts...seemed like they'd be pretty cool.

At its peak tonight, the line for Diamondback was around 25 minutes. It tapered off towards the end of the night to around five minutes.

And a hint for those of you wanting to ride Flight of Fear/Firehawk. I didn`t get to the park tonight until around 7:30. I headed right for Flight of Fear and Firehawk (before Trail of Terror opened). And I walked on both of those rides, which does not happen often with Firehawk.

Ha I just got back from tonight and the lines were terrible SRL was backed up almost to the entrence and most of them were groups.

I cannot believe how bad all the lines were tonight. The park was packed.

I went Friday and walked on just about everything.

Iwent friday night and had a great time.Saturday early was great but as it got near haunt time bam,it got busy.I enjoyed the fear feast but the 6:45 line up for slaughter house looked to be bad with so many people eating upstairs.

I claim responsibility for that one. I was separating alone and it just kept backing up apparently. Now everyone knows why we close the line when it reaches the bottom of the stairs. Hopefully it never happens again. Other than that, the line hovered around 45 minutes for most of the Haunt tonight. Sometimes less, but most of the time it was a full queue. It tapered off towards the end of the night. At 1 AM, the line was about 10-15 minutes. Not bad if you want one last ride before you head home.

As for Saturday, GOOD! Mr. Kinzel, many investors, employees, contractors and friends of Cedar Fair Entertainment Company are very glad to hear this. Hopefully, many, many thousands of nickels were also spent in the park.

Nickels are Mr. Kinzel's specialty, and have been since a rather notorious conference call a while back...

Would you happen to know what was said in that conference call, or how it was used in context? I was talking to one of my friends on Friday after school about that.

Yes, I would. A concerned analyst wanted to know if the increasing commodity prices were going to be passed on to the customer. Mr. Kinzel noted some food prices had increased, but only by a "nickel or so." What was utter balderdash. Have you noticed that in park food prices have only risen by a nickel or so?

The lines "die down" (pun absolutely intended) around 11:00 or so. At least that's been my observation. I checked out DB around 8:30 and the line was at the entrance, as reported earlier, but around 11:00 I only waited about 20 mins.

And I can concur - Fridays are a lot less busy than Saturdays, so if you want to get in a lot of ride time Fridays may be better for you.

I went Opening Night, and the longest wait suprisingly was for FOF at about 25 minutes. We walked right on FH and all the other rides were sporting usually a Station wait. All of the Haunts were between 10 to 15 minutes.

And if you really want to get some rides in - remember that Gold Pass ERT still exists on Saturday (1hr) and Sunday (1/2 hour) mornings. I didn't leave the Red Train for the entire time this morning, then walked over to a station wait at Firehawk.

when i went last sat. the line for db was 1 hour long at 11, and fof was 1 hour, Firehawk was 2 hours

For those of you that attended Haunt on Sunday's last year, do you recall how busy the park was? I know Sundays are usually good days to go, but with Haunt, I would expect it to be buiser then the average Sunday.

Haunt on Sundays last year? I don't think there WAS Haunt on Sundays last year. Aren't those two Sundays new for Haunt?

You are correct as usual, Terpy. There was no Haunt on any Sundays last year. Now two years ago there were the Bare Bones nights...

Interesting, well, I'm sure it couldn't be more crowded then it is on Saturday Haunts. Looking forward to going the 18th and the 25th!

Last night it was two to three train wait, from middle to back. A few more train's wait for closer to the front.

yeah everything was a walk on...no waits at all. Well, except FH because they decided to go to a one train operation...

How about the 30th, it is a Friday but with it being the night before Halloween and all will it be even more crowded, I am planning on going up that day.

Those were the days, my friend...

And coming again?
