First visit in a long time
Hey y'all, I used to be a season pass holder eons ago before life got in the way. I haven't been in over a decade, I don't think. But to my delight, my daughter is a roller coaster lover like me. I'm planning on taking her in the next couple weeks. I went on their website to check ticket prices and see so many things that were not a thing back when I was a regular. The meal passes, fast passes, and what is this gold membership? I am overstimulated.
I'm hoping to get some advice on what's worth the money. This will most likely be our only trip for a while, and it's my daughter's first, so I want to get as much enjoyment out of our time and money as possible. I used to just go with the clothes on my back and $5, but I'm an old now, and comfort is worth the money to me at this point. I don't want to be dumb about it, though.
I plan to visit on a Wednesday, that was always my favorite day in terms of low crowds. Is a fast pass worth it? We will 100% be riding every single coaster. We'll be there when the gates open, and wouldn't be surprised if we stay until they kick us out. Does a meal plan make sense for an all day visit? One thing definitely worth the money to me - parking. Is there a smart way to go about getting close-ish parking?
Any and all tips for bang vs. buck is appreciated. Thank you!
