Mu husband and I are planning a trip to Billings Montana during 4th of July weekend. On our way home we were thinking in visiting Silverwood.
My question is does anyone know how busy the park is on the last day of the holiday weekend (Sunday, July 6)? I was thinking it will be pretty crowded but my husband thinks that most of the crowds will have left by late afternoon to travel home to end the holiday weekend. Since the park is usually crowded (over capacity) during the summer weekends, I am not comfortable in the idea in visitng Sunday especially since it's a holiday weekend day.
The alternative would be to visit the park on Monday, July 7. I think with the holiday weekend over with, it would be far less crowded.
I'm asking because we would be going out of our way to visit the park. We would be flying from Billings to Spokane enroute Portland since there are no direct flights. It's a lot of flying on commuter planes and renting a car in Spokane then driving to Coeur d 'Alene.
I am also told that the new coaster probably won't be up by early July though it is schedule to open sometime during that month. If it does open that weekend that will also be a determining factor on whether we go on Sunday.
We will be attending the ACE regional event Saturday, August 16, so all is not lost. But I will have to go two months without riding a coaster in between that time if we don't go in July. And that is way to long to go without riding a coaster especially since this is my hobby.
Please let me know soon as we are currently planning our itinerary.
