This will be short...

I must say that I have not seen the park so empty in a very long time and yet...operations rocked!

I had an hour to kill yesterday and used ye olde Max(x) Pass to get in and there couldn't have been more than a couple hundred cars in the parking lot.

Better yet, most people seemed to think of the water park only and as a result everything and I mean everything was a walk on.

Front row Top Gun? - No problem...1 train to a walk-on wait.
Phantom Flyers? - I walked up and it looked closed, because noone was waiting!
Hurler (and da super groovy krew) - Walk on - front row.

It was stinking hot, so I just rode my favorites and left.

But except for the heat, it was a great day to go to the park. The ride ops seemed shocked to see riders half the time. :D

Oh and kudos to the park for TWO train operations on every coaster I rode. Even though One train would have been fine.

I wish I lived down the road from Carowinds, or any other theme park for that matter. <_<
