I can tell ya about Kennywood

The lines are pretty normal this year with the exception of the new Phantom's Revenge of course. The longest lines are on the PR, Exterminator, and the Pitt Fall each averaging around an hour(PR about 1:30, Exterminator 1:00, Pitt Fall :45 about). The Flying Carpet and Roll-O-Plane have been closed mostly all year(the Rug is as good as gone, it's falling apart and the Roll-O-Plane needs a replacement park from Europe). A little hint, the PR's line is ALOT shorter(usually) around closing time.

I agree with you. Don't ride it too early in the morning because that's where everyone goes. Hypersonic XLC is definitely worth the wait though.

At Kennywood, do the PR, Exterminator, and Pit Fall done as soon as the park opens. Gates open 10:30, rides start at 11:00. PR had a line before open last visit, but it wasn't too long. Once you get these 3, which are very closely located, done, the rest of the lines in the park will be very moderate.

Also, don't forget to get Fries at the Potato Patch and grab the last seat on the JAck Rabbit.

Do the coasters counter-clockwise at Kennywood.

Exterminator, PR, Thunderbolt, Racer, Jackrabbit
