A BUSY DAY
If you'd been here on a weekend like this,
you'd have needed a plan to get on the headliners.
Jan 3, 2026 came in at a 8/10, the kind of day where Cobra's Curse can eat two hours of your morning. Crowds held steady around a 8 from open through close.

There is no afternoon dip
Waits hold steady through close. Live wait alerts earn their keep here.
