I'm going to be in the area and plan to spend the day at PKI on Friday, May 20. Since this is my first time at the park, I've got a few questions.
First, they say the park is open at 9am and the rides open at 10am. When the park opens at 9am can you walk throughout the entire park or just certain parts? Between 9am and 10am can you line up in the ride queue lines or just outside the rides?
Can you recommend a good time to arrive so I can get on the most coasters/thrill rides in the shortest amount of time. I can get there as early as I need to.
My time in the park may be a little limited (leave around 4pm). Do you have any recommendations for what order to ride the rides for the best chance of hitting most of the popular rides. I must ride Beast and Son of Beast, and probably IJ:ST. I'd like to ride Tomb Raider, Flight of Fear, Vortex, Racer, Drop Zone, and Top Gun.
Any and all tips for a first timer in the park would be appreciated. Thanks.
