My family of four are going that day too! As far as Flash Pass goes, always see how the park shapes up when you arrive. It's a Saturday, so it will be busy, be prepared. Always arrive BEFORE opening. A platinum pass, which is needed to go on Wicked Cyclone, is going to set our parties back $90 each, $360 total! The price is just too expensive for many, so even if it's packed, you will walk on almost everything. If money is no object, your going to have a fantastic day. If it's too much, only thing you can do is visit on another day, even Sunday is better.
We are visiting from Canada, on a coaster trip. We have budgeted the FP if neccessary, because we may never return. If this was a park I frequent or my home park, I wouldn't splurge.
We are visiting from Canada as well....NB to be exact. I really wish Saturday wasn't our only option but we have to be in NYC Sun afternoon. Our drive down to Mass is on Fri so that only leaves us one option day to head to the park.
I guess we'll play it by ear once we arrive. I won't say that money is no object, but we could get the platinum passes if needed. It just seems like so much for one day.
You say you can't ride WC without a pass? Is that only due to the line ups?
Thanks for the info!
