Three Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yeah, weekends are bad, but which day is the generally the worst? Sunday or Saturday? Due to PKD's lousy schedule, they'll only be open weekends when I'm up there. Also, is the weekend before memorial day generally terrible or not?

CoasterFanatic Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Typically Sunday is better. Especially if you get there early. If you visit a park in the bible belt on Sunday, it will be dead till 1pm or so. On Memorial Day weekend, the Sunday thing won't help as much.

robbalvey Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Yeah, Sundays have always been good to us. We normally get to most parks at LEAST 30 minutes prior to opening anyway, but we've found that even parks not in the bible belt tend to be slower on Sundays anyway. If you're planning to spend a FULL day at a park on a Sunday, here is what I reccomend. 1. Get to the park at least 30 minutes prior to opening and be ready to get to your first destination as quickly as possible. 2. Do as much as you can in the 1st two hours - hit up lower capacity rides first (Wild Mouse type rides, kiddie coasters, Boomerangs, Arrow 4Ds, or anything you know that might be running one train, etc) 3. Plan to leave the park around 1:30 or 2:00 and take a 'longer' lunch. 4. Return to the park between 3:00 - 4:00pm and hope to find that the park has cleared out some. 5. Enjoy the rest of your night! Another thing we do a lot with parks that have water parks attached to them is go to the water park from about 3-5pm. Most people seem to get to water parks early, and tend to clear out around that time. Anyway, hope this helps! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Awesome, thanks for the tips Robb! I was really a bit worried before, but I think it's pretty doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
