Great! It'll be nice to save a few bucks since this was a last minute decision. Will we still get to all the major coasters, because we only have one day?

Any idea on what crowds may be like next Tuesday. Me and a friend are debating if we need fast lane since a lot of people will be back in school or at work that day?

It's going to be 56-58 degrees today in the park. Is it worth spending the $100 for Spring inclusive to go to the park today.

Can anyone tell me what kind of crowds to expect Monday March 21st? And what type of weather conditions to expect?

That's great! Thanks guys!! I was so stressed about this but now I'm getting excited.

Thank you, I really appreciate your response. I'm shocked as I thought Verbolten would be the tightest fit since the car themed trains look so small in the pics. I imagined the lap bar would be really tight.

Hello everyone, planning my first trip to Busch gardens Monday March 21st. Wanted to know what kind of crowds to expect? My friend is also concerned if he will be able to fit on most of the rides as he is a bigger guy, about 6'0 250lbs. Will any rides in particular be trouble?

Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood. Everything about this coaster is amazing from start to finish.

Can anyone estimate based off the pictures how tall the second vertical drop is?

I am EXTREMELY excited for this ride. I've wanted to visit Busch for many years simply to try a dive machine. I must admit I thought CP would push the envelope and create the first 300ft+ Dive coaster but whatever I'm not complaining. Why does every DM have the turn at the top though? Why do none of them go straight into the holding brake/drop is it just for the view? Also which row is the best? I'm typically a backseat rider but I feel like the back row wouldnt get much out of the holding brake effect.

Thinking about going to the park tomorrow. I planned on booking fastlane but didn't realize how huge of an increase it was in price to use it on the weekends. Can anyone give me an estimate of what lines will be like? Is it worth still going even if I don't have early entry? I plan on staying 1 night at Breakers so I could take advantage of early entry. Can someone please give me some tips & advice?

I finally got a chance to experience Magic Mountain and I have to admit that I'm very disappointed. Alot of the coasters are rough! Scream was the worst! I walked away from that ride with a pounding headache. Revolution didn't make it any better. The layout is awesome, but the restraints completely ruin the ride. There's absolutely no padding on the restraint and your head is constantly banged against it throughout the entire ride. Not to mention a few others. I was really looking forward to visiting this park because they have an amazing line up. What's the problem? Are they not keeping up with proper maintenance, etc? Or maybe the coasters experience more wear and tear because the park is year round?

I'm really torn because I've always wanted to ride a B&M dive coaster but I really want to ride I305 as well. Does Griffon live up to the hype? Griffon is unique due to the diving first drop, but IMO I305's drop is more intense/exciting. Also I305 is arguably the best roller coaster in the world, and BGW has multiple above average coasters. Really is it that good? I may just have to go to KD.

Does verbolten have a lot of forces? Does it come close to Maverick at all even though it lacks inversions?

Would you rank the coasters in the order that you listed them?

What other things are worth checking out at BG oppose to just the coasters?

HI guys, I'm moving to Washington Dc this summer and the first thing I want to do is check out one of the parks that are nearby. Which park is better Kings Dominion or Busch Gardens?

Haha didn't mean to slam the park. Hey I even admitted my hometown doesn't have the best lineup. It looks like a fun park it's just the only coasters that really stood out were banshee, diamondback, and firehawk. ^ Seriously......slam the park, then ask us for advice? You clearly haven't heard about the coaster KI is unleashing this year.......

I typically go to Cedar Point every year but this year I would like to try somewhere different. I was thinking Six Flags Great Adventure, or Kings Island. Can you guys tell me how much you'd recommend Kings Island? It doesn't look like it has many standout coasters but then again neither does my hometown park (Kennywood) and it's still very fun. So can you guys give me a lil info?

I just used the Fast Lane Plus last Monday and I can say that it saved us a lot of waiting time. The park was pretty crowded (90 min waits for both Gatekeeper and Maverick) and it cut down our wait for them to about 10 minutes. FYI, Wicked Twister and Iron Dragon are not Fast Pass so you may want to hit them as early as possible. Dragster and MF was about a 15 minute wait for either, but that really depends on how many trains are running. CP really makes it a point to have fast operations, so they should not be more than that. I was with a first timer and he was able to get all of his credits (with multiple rides) as well as many other attractions in that day. I should also say that the weather was perfect that day, so nothing shut down due to that. I was thinking maybe if we caught gatekeeper around 10 or 1030 sometime close to opening that the line might not be that long and we could simply just wait it out along with TTD. Or are the lines still pretty unbearable regardless of the time?

If you already purchase fastlane and decide later on you want the plus will they let you upgrade?

Can anyone tell me how efficient fastlane is? Unfortunately, I'm only going to get one day to head to the Point this year and I want to ride as much as possible. Can anyone tell me the average wait times for fastlane users and the amount of rides they were able to get on in a full day. My only must rides are: Gatekeeper, Wicked Twister, Windseeker, Raptor, MF, Dragster, Maverick, Magnum, Power Tower, & Maxair. Will I be able to accomplish them all?

Can anyone tell me how long I can expect lines to be this Saturday June 8th? I know Saturdays attract large crowds but I was hoping since its still a little early in the season that it might be less crowded.
