Is the week after Christmas a very good time to visit?  Crowd wise?

Thanks.

Definitely. I always hear reports from the last day or so where people have pretty much the entire park to themselves.

Of course, you never know what will happen, especially this year, but it's a good bet that crowds will be extremely light.

Also, you can take advantage of the many "SALES" that are going on in the City.

Thanks!  We will be there the week of 12-26, should be a great time, weather permitting.
2 years ago, we went the week before Christmas and it was terribly busy. 

Want to see Danny Eakin and his crew one last time this year and I always enjoy Judy Young.

I've never even thought about that...I'm going saturday, but I think i'm gonna plan another trip for after christmas.

After Christmas is a great time to go.  Definitely.  A lot of sales and one year it was really warm and we rode all the coasters and water rides several times in a row without ever having to get off and go through the queue again.

I have never seen the water rides run after September / October..  I thought they all were drained.

We like to go after Christmas, and again this year will be joining in on the fun 12/26 I think. Crowds have never been a problem with us during thst time. Great was to spend my birthday at the park! We'll make it a party right? Whose bringing the cake?

We usually go the last day of the year, but as we will be in Texas then, it will not be the case this year.  Oh well.

If you are planning to go the week after Christmas you better do it this year.  Next year they are only going to be open the 26th and 27th and then close for the season...   This is probably be cause of the for mentioned lack of guests in the park. http://hfeimages.aristotle.net/General/SDC/SDC%2009%20cal.pdf

That year, it was about ten years ago or so, it was unseasonably warm.  A very mild fall and winter, so they weren't drained.  That's the only year I know of when they were not drained by December.

I rode Buzzsaw Falls in November of 99.

^I think 99 is the year I'm thinking of, because I remember riding Buzzsaw Falls in November/December.

Well, thanks again everyone.  Leaving Friday Morning.  Will have Sat-Tues weather permitting.  I wonder if they will have a bunch of CC merchandise clearanced.
