Martin's Fantasy Island - Need Tips!!!!!!!

Since I'm probably going to MFI next summer, I need as many tips as possible!!! The questions I can think of right now are:


-Can I ride just about all the major rides in about 6 hours or so, including about an hour of taking breaks to get several minutes for my coaster DVD? (Sorry, don't know how to upload video segments) I might arrive at around 2 PM or so, earlier if recommended.

-How good is the park? Like recommendations and stuff.

-When does the park close at the end of summer? (Late Augst to Early September)

-Where can I find a brochure?

- Is the food good?

- Would the ride ops let you take on ride photos/footage? (Crazy Mouse, Silver Comet, Daredevil, Ferris Wheel, etc.)

- How long are the lines generally at the end of the summer? (Late aug. - Early Sept.)

- Do the rides break down often?

- How are the lines in the waterpark generally?

You can get on all the rides in less than 2hrs.
If you really want to save money go after 5, it's half price.

When my buddy and I went we got on Silver Comet about 5-6 times, waiting about 15min max.

We didnt eat much, but it wasn't that bad.

Labor Day, I believe

I'll scan mine later tonight and message it to you.

The pizza place near the Carousel was pretty good. About $4-5 for a slice and drink

I took photos on the Ferris Wheel but otherwise they were picky about taking things onboard. Nw, of course its possible, but I mean they wouldn't even allow you to wear glasses on the Comet.

I went on what I was told was one of the busiest days in the parks history (the day the mouse opened) and it was still <15 mins for everything, except the mouse which was about 30 mins.

Hmmm... I must have gone to a different MFI.. They let me take my cam on the logride,nitro,SC,and the tower ride everytime I rode... And I also had glasses on. but on the tower they asked if I had a strap.
