Too bad it never worked out
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/rec.roller-coaster/WhenToRide.Com|sort:relevance/rec.roller-coaster/zuXwL3KyqPQ/ZGyoEntPrW4J

Whentoride.com was run by 'Coasterfanatic' (who also use to run a site by that name, famous for his coaster count ticker/banners) it worked off user submissions but went offline some 10 years ago. I would try and add wait times as a user myself....but since it was a limited pool of submissions, it never really gained much steam outside of say "parks are busy in the summer!"

Thanks! Nice at least to see it's been tried!

Damn -- that Magic Mountain experience is the one that impresses me, as it's the park I know best. I've known that park since it consisted of one swingset and a donkey ride (OK, not quite -- but I've known the park a long time), and way back in the day I used to hit days/nights when it was empty (especially nights), but now that the park is an insane coaster corral, it's either very crowded on a good day, or insanely crowded on a bad day.

So when did you hit it? A rainy Wednesday in November when all the schools were in session?

Close - it was an overcast (but still warm & dry) Sunday in November back in 2010. I don't think the park was open during the week at the time, but yeah - all coasters were walk-on for most of the day.
One of my best park days ever. It was epic!

It doesn't always work out for me as nicely though - this was literally 2 days after one of my worst park days ever, at Knott's. I followed the rules - went on a weekday in November, but I'd forgot about 'Veteran's Day' hadn't I, and Knott's do free entry for vets and their families on Veteran's Day. Place was heaving, dude, heaving!

Yeah, all three of the major L.A. parks can be nightmares if you hit a bad day. Still, you'll always have that overcast day in November ...
