Went and had a blast! It was super busy but a lot of fun. Did not bring a bag so we didn't need to use a locker - we were able to have phones in pockets or in boxes at the loading platforms, or in the little pouch on Steel Vengeance.
Got on all the coasters except Top Thrill Dragster (rained out, then the line was too crazy), most multiple times. Not sure if I loved Steel Vengeance or Maverick best. Front row on Gatekeeper is awesome. Friend said starting the day riding Steel is better than coffee to wake you up. We also decided that the racing derby carousel is more fun than it has any right to be.
Did some haunts on Fri night - thought they did a really good job with the scare zones and haunted attractions. Friend is a huge Snoopy fan and was thrilled with all the Peanuts presence. The pumpkin artwork was neat.
Sat. we ended up splurging on the Fast Pass for rides, which made us feel very special walking past those long lines. Found a ticket on the ground for free drinks all day, which was nice. We opened the park at 10am and stayed til the midnight close, which equals lots of free drinks & lots of skipped lines.
Man, that is one huge park to traverse! Went home tired, windswept, and happy.
