This means "most" of the park will be open. Since the event is 21+, none of the kiddie rides are needed. It looks like Dragon Island and beyond is off limits (so no Dragon, Sidewinder or Outlaw). It looks like we'll only miss the Inverter, Frantic Freeway bumper cars, Sky Ride, Underground and the two water-ish rides, Splash Over and Raging River. Not bad at all for $15!
