Crowds and wait times

Featured Replies

What will the crowds and wait times be like on Tuesday June 17th? Also do any rides close during the week because of lower crowds? Also do you have any lodging suggestions? Thanks!

That's hard to predict. It will depend highly on the weather, along with numerous other factors.

Weekdays in June are typically much less crowded than summer weekends.

Also do any rides close during the week because of lower crowds?

Rides in the main park generally don't close due to light (or even nonexistent) crowds.

Also do you have any lodging suggestions? Thanks!

Also, what's the best ride to start on?

Do you want to go to warm up, or head for the coaster with the shortest line?
the best ride with a short line!

As far as rides to ride when you first get there, if you are getting their in the morning, I would recommend riding Firehawk first then Banshee. As Firehawk, may look like a short wait, but it has a low rider per hour. Later in the day it line can be 60-90min long easily and not look like it.

If you're going to get there at opening, I like to start with The Beast. It rocks, but since it is older the excitement has worn down so it's not a lot of people's first thought. It's also at the back of the park, so you can get that hike in on fresh legs while simultaneously avoiding most of the other park visitors. It'll let you get in a first exciting ride with very little wait. Then swing around to Diamondback.

Then not Firehawk or Flight of Fear.

Why not?

Firehawk, Flight of Fear, and Backlot Stunt Coaster are all slow lines. If you want to ride them, I'd hit them as early as possible. What appear to be long lines on Banshee, Diamondback and Vortex, should not be feared, those lines move pretty quick.

Same for Adventure Express and The Bat.

Vortex 45 minures

BLSC 1 hour

Beast 1.5 hours

Diamondback 1.5 hours

BBOBH 40 minutes
