I don't remember it taking me a long time to get in and out of back then, but then, that was over 20 years ago, and I probably wouldn't have cared about time and effort back then, so I might not remember.

I think parking and entry to see Round Rock's fireworks at the Diamond was a pretty easy ordeal though.  But same story, I might not remember.  That's the one I usually took family to if they came to visit, and I don't think my dad would've put up with long entry/exit times, so that's my rationale. 

I'd estimate there are probably 5X as many people going now, as there were 20 years ago.  Crowds back then might have hit 20K.  It's over 100K now.  Packed into the exact same amount of space.  Probably less to be honest, since many of the open spaces from back then have now been built up into many new structures of various sizes.

I've never been to the RR fireworks so can't comment. 

Here in Cedar Park it probably takes a half-hour for all the traffic to clear out.  But on the occasions when we actually go see them in the park rather than from our frontyard, we just walk the <1 mile.  Takes less than 20 minutes each way.
