You should be fine during the week.

Just prepare to pay $15 for parking.

I'd say go to Goliath first, if it has a long line come back to it later, like most places it will probably get shorter later in the day.

It's a great park as far as coasters go, be sure and ride Mindbender, still one of my favorite coasters. Mmmmm...schwarkopf goodness!

The lines won't be bad at all, except DejaVu, which will be 45 minutes-1 hour all day no matter what.


Goliath might get a tad long (into the first covered area), but for the most part the line should start near the stairs or posssibly in the staiton if you have a good crew.

Yeah, definatly ride Goliath first. I went on Monday and it wasn't bad. I don't know about a Thursday as it is getting into the weekend and all.

Deja Vu wasn't open then, so I don't know if it will be when you are there Hopefully so.

Oh, and you mine as well head over to Batman after Goliath because that line can get long too..

Buy a ticket at Publix if you need one. They are liek $30.

Oh, and there is a gravel parking lot to the right side of the park near the entrance that is only $10 instead.

okay I was going to Deja Vu and S:UF first, but if yall think Goliath should be first, i'll do it. I went on a friday in March and Batman wasn't long, plus its not one of my favorites, so i'll do it somewhat later, but Mindbender is definitely on my list. So do yall think this sounds good?

1: Goliath
2: Mindbender, Freefall, and Batman
3: Deja Vu
4: S:UF
5: GASM and Ninja
6: Then diff. things after that?

I really thought i'd do Goliath, Deja Vu, S:UF, GASM, Ninja, then Gotham City, too, so which plan sounds better to yall? Or do you think I should do a different route? Thanks.

S:UF still can get some pretty long lines, so make sure you get on it fairly early. It hasn't lost that much popularity.

I think that sounds good...especiall the walking too. Like if you went to S:UF after Goliath, then back to Gotham City...that'd be a lot of walking around.

Im just worried that by the time I get to S:UF, it will have a long line. So it'll be Goliath, S:UF, GASM/Ninja, then back to Gotham City.

If they run two trains on Superman then it should move pretty quickly.

Enjoy the day. It's going to be hot!
