I just called the park and got the answers to my questions. For you guys that haven't been there before like me, they said that we can show up whenever we want on Friday, that the gates are open. They have showers and bathrooms there also. He did say that they have made one change there for now and that is that there is no night rides allowed there and we have to all be in by sunset. Sucks a little bit, but really no big deal. I will be concentrating on getting my drink on by that point anyways.
He did say it was a little bit wet there right now, but not bad. For the most part pretty dry there. Keeping fingers crossed that weather holds up all week. Been really looking forward to this trip.
