We went on Tuesday, Sept 10; the rides were closed, but that's ok; it was early, foggy, empty, eerie,which was great for art photography! With the exception of the maintenance crew, we had the run of the place. Score! Probably not what most visitors want from a review, but for those who are into art photography, you get it!!

4/5 - Good
