My sympathies! I -hate- crowds and traffic jams! And I consider amusement parks date-destinations rather than group fun: when I went with friends I always had to sit on the tandem rides with the other date-less loser! Horribly uncomfortable/not-fun trying to keep from getting too intimate on a rollercoaster! I only found out recently that they'll let you ride alone (they just don't encourage it because [*gasp*] it leaves an empty seat!).
