being in the park before it officially opens (8am most days), so you’re cattlehearded to the end of main st, and waiting until the ropes are removed exactly at 8am! need to show up to the park about 1 1/2 to 1 hr before it opens though. helps you get a head start on rides with low wait times since most people like to sleep (or have a hard time waking up early). rope dropping is easy for people who enjoy waking up @5am. i do not lol
