DaveH80 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 So in a few weeks I'll be taking a trip to Minneapolis driving to Chicago making several park stops. My one concern was Valleyfair, I am planning to do this park Friday 9/4 in the afternoon or Saturday 9/5 at open...My first question is which of the 2 days/time would be most suggested, also I have not been to this park before so need all 7 credits (8th Credit is Mild Thing...don't believe I can get on that one ) I guessed Steel Venom & Renegade would pose as the 2 longest lines, but unsure about general ops & anyone who has a good suggested plan I would greatly appriciate your input. I do realize Renegade is way in the back so I don't know if I hike back there first or if it's OK to make my way back there grabbing all credits on the way. Thanks in advance.

mcjaco Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'd go at open, and then just head staright back to Renegade. That's the only ride I think you'll see long lines at all day. You'll probably wnat a couple fo rides on it anyway. Just get that out of the way, and hit up Excalibur immediately after that, as it's at a dead end toward the back of the park too. Not sure about Labor Day crowds, but that's how I always attack that park, as it's not horrendously big and everyone heads to Renegade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH80 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 thanks for the feedback, that's extremely helpful! So would you say Steel Venom is OK to save for last, maybe on the way out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'm not Valleyfair expert, and I've not been there on a Holiday, but here's how I've gone through the park each time: - Renegade (ride until the line gets too long for you to handle) - Excalibur (get this pile out of the way) - Crazymouse - Wild Thing - Steel Venom - Corkscrew - High Roller This way you work the park back to front, and end up in the center, which allows you to get back to any of the rides in fairly short order.

Mochtroid Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Steel Venom has slightly shorter lines than Wild, but having only one train kills its capacity. Ride it sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH80 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks everyone, great advice. I got all of my credits & definately agree w/ the order to ride all coasters. However, I had to ride Excalibur last as it didn't open until 11a. Renegade was Excellent Over all a very nice, clean park & fun coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrykoala2112 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hey. I am actually going to Valleyfair next week on Saturday the 19th. How bad were the lines? I just want to know Labor Day week end crowds because I would guess this week-end would be slightly less crowded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 If he did everything on Labor Day weekend, you'll have no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
