Monday-Thursday are your best bets. Very very light crowds.

Avoid Saturdays if you possibly can. I really have no choice but to go on the 5th, so I'm stuck.

As am I. I only have weekends off so i'm also stuck going to parks on the weekends. Hopefully the weekend i'm going it won't be to crowded. If you do have a choice on a day to go to any park i would so pick monday-thursday.

That does include the summer. Crowds are bigger on the weekends no matter what month you go, so stick to a weekday.

If you go on Monday go buy your tickets that Sunday night and you can get in free sunday night after 6 i think. I did that in july and it was dead on sunday night and i rode all the coasters. I have gone on a wednesday and it was crowded but not packed. The longest line i have noticed is always the Comet since i think its in the middle of the park kinda.

Monday through Thursday is the best time to go in my opinion. Be sure to check Hershey's website and make sure there is no major event going on in the park. Last year we went on the day of an Christian concert at Hersheypark Stadium. Anyone who was going to the concert got discount tickets into the park and it was so crowded. I was there the day before the event and the park was empty but the next day we got into the park and all I could say is "Where did everybody come from?" There was a 1 hour wait for lightning racer. I have never waited over 5 min for that ride. So my advice is make sure there are no events going on.

^We have done the preview plan before. We love the deal since you get in free 2.5 or 3(?) hours before the park closes (I think it depends on how late the park closes that day). It is a great deal in my opinion.
