If you want first ride (if not won by contest) you better be there by 6 a.m. I know I'll be!

Busch Gardens Birthday is May 16 does anyone know if there will be a "soft" opening that day? If so maybe we could meet then?

David · Apr 4, 2012

Took off from work that day. Let's hope for some good weather.

I wouldn't think so seeing that the park isn't open.

Guests may end up being the first riders rather than employees. A rumored ride night for employees is a bit after the 18th.

Does anyone know if they are planning on opening the park progressively (like usual) or are they going to guide people to the back of the park to go to Verbolten (like they did with Hypersonic XLC when it opened at KD - I was there).

I would guess that they are going to have an opening ceremony at like 10:30 so that the media and invited guests (Like maybe pass members only?) don't get swarmed with other guests in Oktoberfest.

Adam · Apr 6, 2012

Well, that would be extremely nice!

FAL NR OX · Apr 29, 2012

I am planning on attending, but not right away... My friends and I are going up after school... I don't care if we have to wait until after the park closes in line to ride once! I am riding May 18!

I was thinking about going may 20th early. not sure if I can make it on the 18th.

If you see my twin cousin there don't say hi. He won't recognize you.

This Sucks. I'll be down there that weekend, but since it's for my sisters college graduation count me out :/

coasterFREAK · May 1, 2012

me and my Bestfriend are skipping school to go so I'll be there ALL DAY! I'm excited

Ludwig II · May 2, 2012

I have an exam that day but me and my friend are hopefully going up after school. I can't wait!

pandorazboxx · May 2, 2012

Yea, probably go up after work I guess and wait in line now. GF really wants to go. but we'll be there sunday too.

Shafor · May 2, 2012

Sorry if someone already asked this, but does anyone have any idea what the "process" will be like for this? How did they do Griffon on opening day? I was there on MT and EITA, but I'm imagining this will be 1000xs worse.

coasterFREAK · May 2, 2012

I think they are going to open it the same time they open Italy and Festa I believe

Party Rocker · May 2, 2012

With Mach Tower, they opened it when Italy and Festa opened, since it is so close to the birdge, but the rest of Oktoberfest will be closed. So I think they will do the same thing.
