Rainy days

[Billy Hill]

We're heading out to Bonfante Gardens in the morning. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the weather is going to be very likely to cooperate. I've got rain ponchos for everyone, but I was curious to see if anyone might have any other tips about making the most of a rainy day at the park.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

- Gift Shops are your friend

- When you can't take anymore, enjoy a long, sitdown lunch

- Bring a washcloth to wipe down coaster seats to avoid sitting in puddles

- It's one thing to be a wet, another thing to be wet and cold...try to warm up!

The number one thing about going to parks on rainy days; nobody is there! I remeber one weekend when we had KBF passes and everybody thought it was going to rain, but when we got to the park, nice and sunny. The official number of people that had gone in the park that day was 100.

Sitting in puddles is a bummer. The washcloth idea is great, and honestly something I hadn't thought of. No wet seats for us! I am hoping that the attendance will be light because of the weather. More rides for us that way! Thanks for the tips. I'll take the camera and snap a few soggy pics.

As long as it's not raining the rides are operating and the lines are empty. Its almost better if its cooler with a misty rain. But that's just me.

A couple years ago, we visited SFMW and it decided to pour...but the rides were running regardless. Problems affected by rain were ironed out and rides continued to run. The park did close due to way too much maintenance needed. We packed umbrellas, jackets (those didn't do any good) and made best friends with an arcade in the Roar plaza, sitting in the booth. Riding Roar was the best in the rain though...felt so much faster. Anyway, as for tips with wet weather is to find somewhere dry if it gets too crazy and wear waterproof jackets if it's pouring. Otherwise, have fun! Rides should be walk-on.
