Did anyone go today?

We got there at about 10:40, the line (using that term loosely, there was no organized line) at the Platinum Passholder gate was all the way down to the parking lot.

I've never seen it that bad - but I do try to avoid those days. I forgot it was Bring A Friend Free Day... :unsure:

I was there from 10 to 2:30, it was packed. I am about to decide to stop going as I can't have fun if I can't ride anything other than the kiddy rides.

I went in the afternoon with some people for bring a friend day, and yes it was totally jammed. We got a few flyer rides, though, so we were happy. I managed to hit the roof of the queue with my tub, which was quite terrifying.

Jonathan, are you serious? You hit the roof of the queue with your tub?
Was it a noticable hit or a just a brush? What did the ride-ops say?

It was kind of funny, because we were wondering in line if it was possible to hit the roof. I didn't know what had happened when I did it; it made a loud clanging noise and really startled me. Some of my friends were in line at the time, and they told me the back of it bounced off the corner of the overhang. No one said anything to me about it after the ride, so either they didn't notice, or it's happened before.

Jonathan,
I hit the roof of the queue early in the season. I think it was the second weekend in
Operation. Although it is harder to repeat than hitting the tub in front of you I have managed to do it twice. The first time it happened to me I had a number of people in line tell me that it made a fairly loud noise. I did not hear the noise but I definitely felt the impact.
