Get a Fast Pass and if you have a sensitive stomach but are also a thrill seeker, ride the spinning rides last, do rollercoasters first. Bring good walking shoes and a rag to wipe your face. Be prepared to wait on long lines for food and to practically race to a seat to eat at before anyone else.

N.G.

They currently charge $4.25 for a bottle of water but we were able to bring some water in. I would check their policy to make sure you can get it all through security. Parking is $20 per car. Junior admission $42/Adult $60. Fast pass available.
