Anytime that you go to Lakeside. It is always empty which is kind of depressing because it is a great nostalgic park w/ a bad reputation.
PGA! During the Demon 20th anniversary celebration. Nothing but enthusiasts in the park. It was GREAT!

A year or two back, I went to Coneaut Lake Park. There was only about 55 people there, INCLUDING the park personel!~!
PKI this Easter. A ticket seller told me that once the park closed, their total attendance was under 200. Talk about walk ons!

SFNE on Labor Day. Wasn't a bad weather day but sometime around noon the park seemed deserted. Good thing though, Rode Superman 25 times that day!!! Best trip ever
Kennywood, last year for KennyKon. Most of the people there were either ACE members or employees. I would guess about only 200-300 GP. It was nasty rain and some thunderstorms, but it was still fun, tons of rides on the Thunderbolt and Exterminator, and SP.

Six Flags New England at last year's Fright Fest.
It was a bitterly cold fall last year, and the last thing anyone wanted to do was go to an amusment park. I did SROS 15 times in an hour, and my group of friends were the only ones in the Brutal Planet haunted house. Talk about easy targets!
At Darien Lake last year, one day in August, around 6pm, there was a terrible thunderstorm. Most people left the park. After about an hour and a half, they actually reopened S:ROS. The only people in the park (besides employees) were on the Superman train. It was very strange. It started to rain again, and we all rode about 12 times in a row, before they closed. It was very wet, and the rain felt like bullets on my face, but it was awesome.
Then in October, during the Octoberfest, there weren't many people there anyway. Around 5pm we walked over to S:ROS expecting the usual 30 min wait. Instead, there were only people inside the station. It was really cold, so almost everyone had gone. I rode for about 5 hours straight. Sometimes the ride ops were calling other employees to come and ride cause they needed more people before they could send the train. I rode 39 times that night. That was my last time at Darien Lake that year and it was incredible.

S:ROS (SFDL) rides for 2000- 139
Try Wonderlnad Sydney Mid-week anytime apart from School Holidays - DEAD!
Lakemont Park on July 2 last year. Everyone must have been waiting for the 4th. Most of the flat rides ran whenever someone showed up to ride. Often there was no one in line for Skyliner, so the Op would just let the train roll through the station brakes for another trip. One boy said he had ridden Skyliner 44 times that day, but his sister was 5 rides ahead of him. They were still riding when we left 2 hours later.
SFoT Opening day March 3, 2001 was one trip where the park was DEAD EMPTY. I think the total was about 300. Everything was a fantastic walk on!

File this under 'odd occurences.'
Went to BGT on a Tuesday during my spring break (I believe it was the 27th of March.)
HUGE traffic lines. HUGE admission lines. Neither moved at all.
We get in the park, I rush to Montu. It's about 11:45, well after opening, mind you.
No line to speak of.
I walked directly on. I did the same for Kumba and Gwazi, and then I repeated several times that same day.
Longest wait? Python. They had some restraint problems they couldn't fix car for about 3-4 minutes. Nothing more.

Cedar Point was the emptiest when there was Millennium Mania. There was only two rows of parked cars. It was walk right on station for Millennium Force. They were only running two trains to.
Michigan Adventure, pretty much almost any weekday in June most rides are a walk on (incl. Shivering Timbers).
Cedar Point, late September 1989. It was a Sunday and the last day of operation that year. It was a cloudy drizzly day. Not a soul at the park. Rode The Magnum 23 times often without having to even get off the train.
