Am I being dumb? Road trip '25
SharkTums replied to KBrylczyk's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You have to wait. It's just the way all parks are nowadays. Plan for late summer for sure and there will be a lot less stress and anxiety! -

Wait times at the whole park already look better because of this change! -
Six Flags St. Louis (SFStL) Discussion Thread
SharkTums replied to Homer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Seriously, please stop fighting over a carousel at a six flags park. I'm not even going to read far enough back to see what this is about but don't talk about other peoples kids and everyone just move on to how dumb all the new height restrictions are. -

Pretty crazy to have an accident like that! -
Six Flags St. Louis (SFStL) Discussion Thread
SharkTums replied to Homer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
So we unexpectedly ended up at SFStL for 75min on Saturday night before close. It was my first Six Flags park in 15 months! - Electric vehicle parking was interesting and they had a lot of those spots, didn't realize it was new. Wonder if it will last? - Employees seemed very friendly, but I would hope so as we were on day two of operation! - Freeze still running amazing! - New kiddie coaster decent, like what Vekoma has become and what they're doing from the kiddie to the big rides. - Screamin Eagle ended our night with a double ride and a nice crew! - When did drinks become $7-$10!?!?!?! People complain about Disney pricing need to go to Six Flags!!! -
Dollywood Discussion Thread
SharkTums replied to crispy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm not Robb, but we're certainly not sucking up to Dollywood. The ride really didn't seem any different to me. That being said, I think a lot of the newer RMC's and other coasters just out do it and it is an older ride now so it's not as crazy as it once was. People have this memory of riding it back in 2016 when it was legit amazing and new and something we hadn't really seen before. Since that time there have been a ton of new coasters that are bigger and faster and have equally crazy elements so I think it's more a memory issue. Oh, and the day we were there it ran two trains all day with a 5 minute wait so there you go. I'll take that thanks! -
Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread

Great ride but really pushed the limits of the human body. Gave me anxiety every time I rode with that launch. It was amazing, like getting hit by a truck in the best way possible! -
Legoland New York Discussion Thread
SharkTums replied to jedimaster1227's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Love it, but I have questions... 1. I thought this park was pretty small? Does it need a transportation ride like this? 2. There are only seven pods? How short is the ride or am I missing something? -
Liseberg Discussion Thread

A fire is one thing, this is a full on explosion. Really insane footage. Hopefully they'll get it out soon and we can find out what happened to cause something this crazy. -
First time in Spain, Help!!
SharkTums replied to Srwilson's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm going to move this to the main forum as we haven't done the Spain parks in over ten years! You also may get more responses posting this in our Facebook Theme Park Review group. -
Oof, this is a big question... First off, I do really like American Dream. I know the reports are very hit and miss based on what's open but we have really enjoyed a few visits to the park and water park. The "mall" is not a real mall at all so keep that in mind. It's more an entertainment area indoors with a few random stores and food. For a second broadway show with kids that age I would probably suggest Aladdin or Lion King unless you think they're a little more advanced then Six could be a fun option too! Food wise, there's just soooo much. Bryant Park Winter Shops will still be going on and it's a ton of little food booths that are all AMAZING, that can be really fun for the kids. Ellen's Stardust Diner for the singing waiters. Any specific food they really like you'll be able to find a really cool restaurant in NYC I guarantee it! Feel free to reach out to me if you have more questions!

Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and SeaWorld are all open till 1am. Disney parks are all midnight at the latest. The FunSpot parks are also midnight. So it's really up to you what parks, rides you want to do, SeaWorld would probably give you the best deal for rides, fireworks, and fun for the price.

Yeah due to school, most of the US parks go to weekends and holidays after Labor Day (first weekend in September). Some parks like Dollywood and Silver Dollar City will operate a few midweek days, and because of Halloween Events you'll find some other parks open Thursday or Friday nights as well. If you're just doing coasters, all the parks you mentioned will be one day parks. If you're wanting to do re-rides and other rides then you may want two days at Dollywood and Silver Dollar City. Carowinds and Holiday World are one day parks. I would also budget for the skip the line programs at all the parks you visit. Operations at all parks worldwide never seemed to fully come back after the pandemic and it will greatly help your day if you can wait less in line!
