Well, the trip is over!! Had a blast as the park has a lot to offer in a relatively confined space, we didn’t feel like it took forever to make our way around. We started with Orion since it was an early ride, have to love a giga-coaster with 90+ mph speeds, it was great. We did Flight of Fear and I don’t know if it was because we only rode it once but it gave us all a headache and we never rode it again, partly because of the headaches but also the wait times were up. Mystic Timbers was an amazing ride, probably my favorite…. loved all the quick, sharps banks and turns. We could only get on Beast one morning as the ride times always swelled and couldn’t do it at night. Banshee was awesome and I had a hard debate in my mind but I think I liked it better than Raptor!!
You all were right, ride time early in the week were fine and a lot of weather did go through the area. We got a deal on Great Wolf Lodge and used that as backup in case of inclement weather and it came in handy a couple days. Everything was walk on or 10 minute waits, that is until today, the park was obviously busier because of the crowds walking around and we didn’t realize it until we got into Mystic Timbers and the wait was 45 mins. We planned on leaving today as an early day so it worked out well. Never ended up paying for FL+.
