I can only speak to KD, and a little on Carowinds: 1. Yeah, a full open-to-close day at each park should be sufficient, provided you don't want to do the water parks and you're going on a weekday. I see you're going in April, so water parks will not be a concern. 2. No downside to waiting to buy Fast Lane at either Cedar Fair park; I've never seen them sell out outside of the Haunt season. Probably won't be needed if you're going on a weekday. 3. As you can tell, weekdays will be comparably dead compared to weekends. KD is still on weekend only operations in mid-April, and so is Carowinds, so that might not be an option for you. Unless you're going during one of their spring break weeks (which are different), then yeah it could be packed. 4. Most people will tell you spend the extra day at BGW, but I'm going to say KD, especially if you value thrills over theming. Intimidator and Twisted Timbers blow pretty much everything at BGW out of the water.

Carowinds is opening Intimidator today, a full month earlier than originally posted. Year-round ops must be working out for them.

If you Google “How many coasters does Dorney Park have”, the number 8 comes up because they have it in their media center. They probably didn’t remember that it was a thing when they removed Stinger (and/or they don’t really care).

Who is taking bets? I want $100 on the "after"!

Parc Astérix swag. . . Drink bottle (that was filled with Flavored Icee like drink - this was the only way to buy it, no regular cups. but the refill in the container was cheaper, so it was worth it) but yes, I schlepped it all the way home: T-Shirt (which I BELIEVE translates as "So, who's the boss?". . .but I prefer to believe it says: "WHO'S YOUR DADDY???"
