I had my jaw on the floor on Good Friday when I saw the traffic backed up at the toll plaza until 11:45. The crowds that day were phenomenal. The cam helps me decide when and what day to go.

Which might be precisely why it's gone. They want you to come to the park, no matter what. Why would they want to give you any reason to not come to the park?

In my case, I'm going (I have season passes) but I have to plan ahead for what day I want to take off and what day my wife can get off, etc. I like seeing what day I can have the most enjoyable experience which should be what the park wants. There have been days in the past when I had an opportunity to go but stayed away because of fear of it being too crowded.
Agreed about weekends! I once made the mistake of going to Kings Island on a weekend and NEVER AGAIN!!! And it was so hot that day I felt like I was on the sun. If I go, I try to go on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. I once went to Cedar Point in Oct and, although it was crowded, it wasn't horrible like KI was on a weekend.
I will NOT go on a weekend for a park visit... period. (Only weekend day I plan on going is May 2nd to see my daughter play with her school at the palladium but, since we have season passes, I will NOT be staying after it's over. Otherwise, I would not get within 50 miles of the place on the weekend.)
