San Francisco Theme Parks?

[shepp]

yeah SFDK is a better choice i was just there about a 3 weeks ago and i just wanna say everyone heads for medusa first, so i went the opposite way and went to the V2 and roar area first, the end result was 14 rides on V2 without leaving the station =] and then by the time you get to medusa everyone has already done that so the line isn't long at all, also since they have all the animal shows there and everything even if the park seems really crowded the lines for coasters are only like 10 minutes at the worst.

 

I'm coming to this thread really late, but since SFDK is my home park, I figured I'd chime in with some advice for anyone else going to Vallejo.

 

Yes, bear left to the Roar side of the park first thing, but if you're into spinning mice (mouses?), ride Tony Hawk's Big Spin first. It's the park's big family coaster, and builds long lines fairly fast. SFDK is notorious for not opening rides first thing when the park opens, but if Roar is running, go there next. V2, for some reason, never gets the lines - even if there's a 40-minute wait for Roar (and there can be), V2 might be a walk-on. Otherwise, do V2 a couple of times, then queue up for Roar. After you've knocked off those three, head all the way over to Medusa. They've started new crowd management practices, stacking guests outside the boarding platform, so crowds may be more manageable than they appear. And, for some reason, the front row usually doesn't have that much longer a wait.

 

And if you're into the animal stuff at all, try to catch the walrus training session; it's my favorite animal attraction in the park. The tiger show's worth seeing, too, and, of course, the orca.
