2-4 inches of rain in one day is more than a summer thunderstorm

Not here. Happens a few times every summer. And the winds will often gust to 50 to 60 MPH. Plus we get the cloudburst inversions. No one makes a big deal out of it though.....and...the post above that I responded to stated '2' inches of rain and '10 to 20 mile' winds, which is essentially a nothing burger around here.....If anything, a couple inches of rain should help Ca. out during their upcoming wildfire season, so it's probably more a plus than a minus....

I worked universal 2016, we closed early. They forced us to go home so we got paid a full day with like 4 hours worked or something, it definitely was a smaller storm than this too
Florida's ecosystem isn't So Cal though - which is why to us it's just another day.
This isn't a freak storm that will destroy SoCal - but just that amount of rainfall can cause issues with mudslides. Your post is coming off just a tad bit dismissive.
Was that the infamous HHN that got rained out about an hour in? That was a crazy night. Mazes were getting flooded, as I recall. Guest Relations still gets shivers when people mention that night, they had to go through a lot of crap from basically an entire park of angry guests

I remember it. Monsters and Halloween 4 had maybe three actors in the maze each, in the only positions unaffected by rain. Stranger Things stayed open. Everyone else was pulled. Weird night.

Hearing reports they added a corn maze for the Halloween section in Holidayz.

Haha, no didn’t work that night. But I know about that. Yup. Also mazes smelled moldy the rest of the season

I would not come. This whole park is on a hill and I’m sure the roads won’t be safe in the immediate area later.

Olivanders has the longest line in the park as the only attraction with a 30 min wait,lol
Too late. Already here. Mario Kart is a 10 min wait! My shoes are soaked though
Did you feel that earthquake while you’re there? I was wondering if they were taking any precautions.
Nope. Didn’t even know an earthquake happened until I looked at my social media. Everything is running normal as usual.
Didn't know where else to put this, but I'll let the post speak for itself...
Welp after two rides on Mario Kart and a ride in the Mummy, both had short waits, I called it a day after getting uncomfortably soaked in the rain.
The wind effect on Rainbow Road is definitely stronger
