World Fest starts tomrrow, can't wait to see all the acts and forget about my diet for a little while tomrrow. Anyone else going? Tomrrow is also the first day all regular shows and almost all stores open.

We're heading up after work tonight, and will be there early for breakfast in the morning. First trip of the year, to the best festival of the year. Looking forward to it!

I hope to get out soon, but with my schedule I more than likely will not get out to the City until May 

[History Buff]

^Same here.  It's hard to qualify for that Christmas ornament.  We used to get them every year, but you have to go during so many festivals these days that we don't even try.

I will be there some time around 8:30, depends on morning traffic!  I'll be the idiot taking non-stop pictures, say hello!

How bad would you expect the crowds to be on Easter weekend?

[Zephon]

It was a pretty good day out at the park today.  I don't know if they made the projected attendance, but there seemed to be a good crowd there as I went to lunch.  The Chinese acrobat show in the Opera House was full for all four shows, with standing room only on the last one.  And, people seemed to really enjoy it.  They do some hair-raising stunts, as evidenced by the gasps from the crowd.  I saw the Irish show in the Red-Gold yesterday and it is very good as well.  Be sure to see all the shows when you come.  I know you all have your different favorites, but they're all good.

Is there anyway the public can access attendence or projections- I know there is a phone extension with that info.

[SteamFreak]

It was a great day in the park, Zephon, where do you work in the park? I'll stop by tomorrow. The feet of fire show was wonderful, it was acually the first time I had been in Red-Gold Hall, what a beautiful facility.

Agreed, it was a perfect day for the opening of World-Fest, I actually got to see 4 shows on this trip, talk to a few SDC employees, make some new friends, and the longest ride wait was 10 minutes for the Giant Swing!

[SteamFreak]

Yeah, I ended up riding powder keg twice and took my first 3 rides on wildfire this year. I finally dragged my fiance on Wildfire after she was frozen in fear from looking at it...it's now her favorate ride in the park.

[Coaster]

^Yeah, that is all it takes is to ride it once. Wildfire is definitely the best in the park.

Sorry SteamFreak, I didn't check back with the thread in time to reply.  But, for what it's worth, I'm working in the Opera House for World Fest.  Running a followspot for the Chinese acrobats.

Today started off pretty nice but got cold and windy in a hurry.  Chased a lot of people away I think. 

[SteamFreak]

Chased us away, too bad it was too late, we saw that show this morning, almost the only thing we did do, we did get to see copper run every one out of fire in the hole as soon as we got in line  oh well, any day is a good day in the city...the show was really good though.
