Fall ride is definitely bigger, but the spring rides get plenty of coverage.. not sure where you're looking.
As far as this ride goes, the weather is fixing to get really bad from the looks of it. I guarantee it's going to keep some people home.
For example, I have officially pulled out from this ride. The chance of severe storms, rain, hail and tornadoes pretty much did it for me.
Anyone that was at Snakehunt 2012 will understand.. MILLIONS of dollars worth of damage to RVs, trailers and trucks alone.
I was watching the radar leading up to it and decided to GTFO just in time.
Here's video from people there though..
