We ended up going on Monday and had a really great time! I teared up at least 4 times during the day
Some of the highlites of what my 5yr old boy (46") liked the best :
Great pumpkin coaster (First Roller Coaster)
Woodstock Whirlybirds
Show in Snoopyland
Eiffel Tower
Dinosaurs Alive
Icee stand (Oh so good....)
Miami Valley Railroad
Crocodile Run
Great Barrier Reef
Jackaroo Landing
Kangaroo Lagoon
Wallaby Wharf
Pipeline Paradise (I still can't believe he did this... he stayed in there for about 2min. I went first and it spit me back out in about 15sec)
Blue Ice Cream (I could sure go for one of those right now...)
Best Advice I got from this thread:
getting wrist band at the start of the day
renting a stroller (what a HUGE difference that made!) We were able to stay from opening until closing because of the stroller. without it we would of went home about 2pm
wet wipes
snacks (yes i smuggled in a couple granola bars, fruit rollups, beef jerky, and M&Ms)
Free water, we drank a lot of water (this definately enabled us to go go go all day long)
We didn't get a locker, I just chanced it and got lucky.
We went on Monday and it was not only a gorgeous day, there were very very short lines all day long.
