Details not mentioned in the report:

Hot and muggy day. Both parks were packed. Attendance was 83,000 people. It was one of the busiest days me and other people have seen in their lives.

The Grand Opening ceremony was closed off to the public...

Oh...and I went on TOT for the 2nd time in my life...

I forgot to add this in...

ryguy222 · 06-18-2008, 11:30 AM

^YAY!!! My ace in the hole! Single rider line. So about how fast did the line move? Like a few feet every 10 minutes like nemo ? (course not) or like a 20 feet each minute?

BCC · 06-18-2008, 01:45 PM

20 feet each minute...they did not use Single Rider lines yesterday.

Kileli · 06-18-2008, 05:10 PM

HOLY COW that was a long line! So glad we went before the opening!

I rode TOT for the first time when we met too, lol.

stevo505 · 06-18-2008, 05:17 PM

I would never be able to stand a line that long!!!

basketbuddy101 · 06-18-2008, 05:18 PM

Will single rider be permanent or is it temporaily there. If it is permanent then I couldn't be happier. I was supposed to go today but I was so stupid as to forget that I was blocked out. I guess I'll have to check it out on Sunday.

ryguy222 · 06-18-2008, 05:19 PM

If they didn't use it opening day, then its probably permanent

BCC · 06-18-2008, 05:45 PM

The lead told me that they will do it eventually.

Was the lead short, Named David?

BCC · 06-18-2008, 11:25 PM

I know that David that you speak of. But it was not him. It was Chuck.

David has worked lead for many rides. Buzz, Star Tours, and Nemo. Is he close to Aaron's position? Cause Aaron won some CM award. I don't see him around anymore.

Aaron is tall and is bald...

David Hepperle is a close friend of mine.

BCC · 06-18-2008, 11:29 PM

Cool! I haven't had the chance to personally speak with him, but I have seen him around.

He looks like he runs a right ship.
