We're possibly going to DCA tomorrow before a concert, and I was wondering does DCA close it's rides when it rains?

I'm sure the indoor rides like Tower and Soarin stay open, but what about Calif Screamin' or other outdoor rides?

I was there yesterday and Screamin' was running. I went on Maliboomer and Mulholland Madness in the rain. Even the Zephyr was spinning.

I think that Calf. Screamin' stays open in the rain because I have heard some people talk about the rain hitting them in the face pretty hard when riding it. I was there a couple of years ago and it rained all day and I don't remember anything being closed. About the only attraction that I do know that closes is the Golden Zephyr when it is windy. If you don't mind getting wet you should have a good time.

I work at DCA, it all depeds on how hard it rains, I was there once as a guest, as it was raining pretty hard, they shut it down until it stopped raining

Last April it rained pretty hard one afternoon, they ended up closing screamin' after we stood in line (there is no cover) for about 15 minutes. We were drenched. But once the rains let up, they opened them up quickly!
