I have a quick question:

My family is planning a trip to Southern California this summer and we have platinum passes. We are planning on spending time in both LA and San Diego, and want to go to one of the Soak City's to take advantage of our passes. My question is which Soak City is better: the one in Orange County, or the one in San Diego? Oh and we will be making our first trip to Knott's Berry Farm as well. Any advice?

Orange County is better you are by KBF and I bet you guys will have a blast.

Will you be going to SFMM?

Have a good time!

IF you go to San Diego, you MUST ride The Giant Dipper at Belmont. And if you stay in Orange County, you must go to Disneyland (and California Adventure). Should you go to Knott's Berry Farm, do not miss Jaguar...

Thanks for the advice! We decided to pick Universal Studios instead of Disneyland because I've heard the studio tour is a must-see. Thrust me if it was up to me we would be going to both (I REALLY want to ride California Sreamin'). We also will be making our first trip to Sea World in San Diego. I'm really excited. I doubt we'll have the time or money to make it to Magic Mountain, unfortunately. I'll have to look into the Giant Dipper, and I'll be sure to ride Jaguar.

^I'll second that Big Dipper recommendation. If you are in the area definately set some time aside for it, you'll be happy you did!
