Well, since you are trapped going just try to make the best of it! Since you are going on a Saturday in May, crowds will probably be VERY heavy in the water park section of the park. However, the "dry" side should be fairly manageable. I've been to the park on various Saturdays throughout the summer and never had terrible waits for anything (dry side wise.) The only time we ended up waiting a decent period of time was for the log flume... Which had about an hour long line... Then it broke down a few times during the wait, so that didn't help. Other than that I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes for any of the rides. (And that was usually to get a "premium" seat. IE: front row, or back row.) X-Coaster is a GREAT coaster, by far the best ride in the park. VERY highly underrated. The front row is awesome! When you crest the lift hill you are just dangling there with nothing blocking your view of the crazyness you are about to experience. However, the stop on the lift hill is BRUTAL!!! So brace for impact! Just go into the park with very... VERY low expectations!! (You'll thank me later!) Neither my parents nor myself are particularly big water park fans, so we weren't planning on doing that. X Coaster definitely fascinates me the most. Good to know about the log flume since that's the ride I'm second most excited for haha. But that sounds manageable since we only wanted to spend a max of 4-5 hours in the park. Thanks! Oh wow, yeah, if you're not doing the waterpark, then you need like 2 hours max, and that's only because the ops are totally going to take their time. There's about 4 rides actually worthwhile. X-Coaster is absolutely fantastic, enjoy the hell out of that one. Otherwise, Gauntlet is horrible, and the other coasters are just okay. Water rides are solid. Any notable flats have been removed from the park systematically over the last few years.

I'm hoping so. A good fastpass is really the only thing Hershey lacks. -

Oh that sucks. They announced it then scrapped it almost immediately? Wow, not cool. -
Game: When was the last time you...

Probably Talon last year. I had heard it was the best coaster at Dorney, but that isn't saying much. I actually liked it better than Great Bear. When was the last time you had risotto? -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

Screamin' Eagle last Sunday. -
I have to comment because as KT is a Hamilton enthusiast that is in fact Angelica! No one ever cares about Peggy lol. Lol, poor Peggy. She was actually pretty badass IRL though. She hid her sisters during the Revolution when their estate was raided by British sympathisers, facing down armed men and saving her whole family with quick thinking. At the time Eliza was pregnant with Philip Hamilton, the very one who is prominent in Act II of the musical. Peggy died too young, but she kept that family together.

^ Don't listen to this guy. Steel Vengeance sucks, and it's going to suck the most on June 1. -

Invertigo is actually pretty good, but I'm baffled as to why anyone would like it the best. That BBQ place is exciting. I always approve of more BBQ in parks. -
Outlaw Run in rows 1 or 11. Don't ride the very back row, go one forward from it for best hangtime in the barrel rolls. Wildfire back row right side for the best rip through the corkscrew. Powder Keg front or back, they're different but both great. Spring Break is over for the largest districts, but some small schools have it this week. Rawkin, glad you liked Thunderation. I agree that it's the best non-Disney mine train. Outlaw Run just edges out El Toro for me, but Voyage at Holiday World and Phoenix and Twister at Knoebels...I'd take any of those really. They're all absolutely incredible.

Maybe. Not really sure on that one as we tend to avoid holiday weekends. It's going to be hard to predict how Time Traveler affects it. So far everyone's been going to Time Traveler and the other lines have been short. Outlaw Run is the most intense coaster, but it's also the looping coaster with the lowest height requirement at 48" (Time Traveler 51" and Wildire 52"). It's also down a long path with not much along it, so I think it gets overlooked.

What is your next park?
ytterbiumanalyst replied to onewheeled999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Sweeeeet. Enjoy the hell out of that place. So good. For me, probably SDC in the next couple of weeks, but really wanting to get back to Six Flags St. Louis soon too to try to get Namtab before it's gone.
