SFGAdv Sunday, 6/25...KK/Toro walkons?!?

I'll make it short with notes:

-Park was EMPTY...emptiest I have seen it in 8 or so years of visiting the park. Except for KK and Toro, everything was a complete walkon, with a maximum of maybe 10 people in a station at a time. From 8-closing, Toro was a walkon/1 train wait, and same for KK around 9. Toro was a 20min wait all day up until 8pm or so, and KK was around an hour.

-Rode Toro 6x (all back row, minus 1 ride in 3rd row and once in front row), KK 1x (front row), Medusa 1x (back row), Nitro 1x (back row), S:UF 2x (back row), Twsiter 2x, GASM 2x (back row)....all of that in only 5 hours or so of riding, not to mention I could have done so much more if it wasn't for a big headache. I could have EASILY marathoned anything outside of Toro/KK for as long as i wanted without getting off the train.

-Toro was awesome as usual. It was running both train. Back row is byf ar best seat on train while 3rd row has most ejector. Back row, right side, B train is best seat on ride.

-KK is AMAZING at night time in front row. The tower isn't lit minus 2 red lights and some lights at VERY top, and launch is lit by lamps every 15-20ft. Since the queue was empty and there are no pathways or buildings by launch, it was VERY eery.

-Awesome day! Could have done a lot more if it wasn't for headache and being with mom.

^ I found that most major coasters at Dorney are nearly walk on or walk on for ALL rows if you go on right after a hard rain.

So by reading all these post... I guess it was stormy that's why no one was around?

Yeah, we almost didn't go. It was forcasted for heavy rain the whole time we were supposed to go, but except for a light drizzle for 5min, it was just cloudy skies! Not to mention it was a Sunday, and especially at night, the park is usually fairly empty.

Tomorrow wil lrain until noon. I plan to be in the park by 11:30 - 12. I might get a little wet, but no one will go, because they say on off rain until 3, which is the shole day for most people. And on a Wednesday, no one cares to go. I hope to be able to ride coasters without the wait. That has never happened in great adventure. Except on Medusa and Skull Mountain. And once or twice on Chiller I wish the Chillers were open.
