The Greatest Day Ever

There was a separate line for guys and girls, with the guys’ line being much much shorter — and since I had my guy’s ticket he had to wait with me for about 45+ minutes before we were let into the event. Imagine our surprise when we got in and saw that the place was almost empty. I think the wait had something to with the number of male/​female checkers being imbalanced, but it was super hot outside, the bouncers were a bit obnoxious and it sucked to watch the guys whizz buy while the women’s land was at a standstill.
I did like that they had free cotton candy, however the 4 or 5 food vendors didn’t provide lots of food options. We wanted to go to smorgasborg to get a bite and then go back to the event since the site said re-​entry was allowed, however we were told if we left we would have to wait on the long line all over again to get back in. So, basically we felt trapped.
We sucked it up and hung around — went on the 2 rides that were there (a ferris wheel and a spinning thingie), and watched a bit of jenga at the Unilocal table. We were not inclined to buy the $ 8 small cans of beer and after dancing around for a little bit (there were various dj’s playing throughout the day who were admittedly pretty good) and getting a slight headache from the loud music and sun, decided to leave to get some food at smorgasborg and look at the skyline of manhattan a few blocks away.
All in all, it was interesting experience (not worth $ 60, but maybe worth the $ 20 advance ticket price!) and a nice way to pass the time… but it’s not quite at the greatest day ever status just yet.

So I attended The Greatest Day Ever after hearing about it from YesJulz (love her!) and though I am sad I didn’t get to meet her the event was an overall good time AFTER getting in.
The wait to get in was tremendously HORRIBLE! I still do not understand why it took an hour + to get in when the place was not even half full. I think there should have been much better control of the line and entering the park, especially because there were so many advanced tickets sold — not to mention that it was scorching hot out.
