Daily Crowd Updates & Park Status

[Nicole]

Since we received a request for a place for reporting on crowd levels at KD, I have created this thread, where people can post the conditions they are seeing at the park.

Feel free to post any weather, security, or other unfolding events, as you see fit, as well.

We encourage everyone to update this thread, whenever you are at the park, as a community service.

If you have a question about future, predicted crowd levels, the Quick Questions & Answers thread is probably the best place to ask it.

Is anyone in soak city today that can provide a crowd update?

 

[Nicole]

We heard that there are over 45,000 people at KD today.

 

[Caleb]

Anyone at the park that can give me a crowd update?

 

[MAZ]

Planning a trip out this evening for cirque and fireworks. Anybody at the park that could provide a crowd update?

 

[Nicole]

Crowds seem low so far today. We haven't encountered lines yet.

I'll update this thread, if it gets worse in the afternoon.

 

[Nicole]

Unsurprisingly, the crowd levels are really low today.

 

[Nicole]

Heavy crowds. Long lines.

 

[MAZ]

Parking lots are all full, back to the main road.

Parking lots are all full, back to the main road.

I figured that might be the case, I was there yesterday and the place was empty due to the on & off rain - so I thought today's crowd might make up for that, and I guess it has.

 

[Nicole]

I just heard that the crowds are not heavy right now. I'll get an update later in case it gets noticeably worse.

 

[Mushroom]

Crowds are moderate right now. The park is definitely not empty, but it's not so crowded that you should stay home.

 

[horsesboy]

I concur with that. There are lunes but I saw far worce on week days this summer.

 

[Pretzel Kaiser]

Crowds are pretty light.

 

[Pretzel Kaiser]

Park is pretty busy and will probably get worse as it gets closer to Haunt.

 

[Unagi]

Just got to the park. Good size crowd but not super busy.

 

[Nicole]

We have been at KD all day, and it has been super crowded since this morning. Lines everywhere are incredibly long already, and Haunt hasn't even started. We are leaving (thankfully) very soon.

EDIT: Mobs of people are still streaming in. They even have people directing traffic. Under no circumstances come to this park tonight. If you are in your car, turn around and go home.

 

[Unagi]

Just drove by the park on my way home from DC. It’s crazy packed. I’ve never seen the lot so full!

 

[Zimmy]

its just no fun when it is like that. At least not for me.

 

[Nicole]

Relatively light crowds, especially in light of the weather and date.
