the weekend count has been down ALOT!!! 2 weeks ago they had about 8 on Friday and 10 on sat and sun..
last weekend the count was up to a modest 11,000 per day..

I heard today's (july 4th's) number was a little 14,000!!! WOW....

It is never busy on the 4th. We always tell people that the best days to go to parks are actually holidays. Now the days around them.... busy, busy, busy

Aren't Sundays usually quieter anyway?

Grapeslie · July 09, 2013, 05:02:43 PM

I was there sunday actually and everything was walk on. But I had a wonderful time!

And that, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is why I go on Sundays

We always go on Sunday or Monday morning.;. No way I could tell you the last time I was there on a sat?, Unless it was a sat nite during OTC...

Weekdays, especially when school is in session, are always good, too. Avoid Saturdays at all cost unless you love long lines and big crowds.

Time to merge this with the attendance thread...just saying...

Last year the only time my family, and I had a chance to visit Old Time Christmas was Thanksgiving weekend. Saturday was so busy that people were entering the park next to the Candy Factory. This year we have decided to visit a little earlier in November - and in the middle of the week!

sanddunerider · July 15, 2013, 12:52:05 PM

Ozark, just remember that during nov. the park is only open thur/fri/sat/sun.......... NO wed's in nov or dec..(except for thanksgiving eve

Ozark Outlaw · July 16, 2013, 10:07:27 AM

Haha thanks Sand! Although, if I did go on Wednesday in November I could bring the attendance record up 100% from 0 to 1.

sanddunerider · July 16, 2013, 10:18:04 AM

That's true!! But you would have to stand in line for hours!!! With no operators on duty, and you might get thirsty/hungry too.........LOL

sanddunerider · July 23, 2013, 06:19:35 PM

Opening weekend for midnite madness,,,,,,,,

Sat's attendance a modest 15,000..( PTB should have like that, I think that is the best day in 4 or 5 weeks!!)

sunday, 11,000...
