YOULLBEBACK Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 What in your opinion are some totally random, oddball, under rated things in the park? A certain seat on a ride, thing to do, etc... 1. Ms. Pac Man in the 80's shop. Cool. 25 cent coin op arcade! 2. Front seat on The Bat. So much better than any other seat on this ride. 3. Congo Falls on a hot, busy day. Never a line, get a quick ride in and get refreshed without being soaked. 4. History of the park. Catching old PKI logos or relics from old rides. I wish the park emphasized the history of it more. 5. The few weeks where they played instrumental music at the entrance. 6. Ride ops. Most are very good at what they do. 7. Old School train conductors. Cool to see that tradition still. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky21 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 The very rear seat on DB is the best seat on any coaster in the park period. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 DB in row 12 outer right is my preferred seat. The best coaster seat in the park is Beast 1-1 at night. silver2005, who will gladly wait through the 10 cycle wait for the front at least once a year for a night ride. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtk1378 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I think Zephyr is a very underrated ride, never has a line and is always a fun ride to go on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I know the Eiffel Tower view from the entrance is a great shot, but I feel I-Street from any other angle in terms of photos are highly underused. I also love eating around the fountain as well. Wonderful spot to relax and have a meal (when the weather is perfect of course, not too hot). I enjoy walking past the fountains on the way out. Makes exiting the park a nice way to cap off the day. Not many other park exitings do that for me (Hershey is up there for me as well). I also enjoy the walk back to Soak City. Its a nice quiet moment compared to the noise of the rest of the park. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjcolglazier Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 People watching. Especially when it's hotter than Hades on a busy weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermillionlove Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I agree OP front seat on The Bat is very fun!! I love spotting a rainbow on the Diamondback splashdown (: I like cutting through the festhaus for the sights the smell of panda express (usually can't afford to eat in park...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txdrummer Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 The replacement of the asphalt walkways with pavers. Greatly improved the look and feel of the areas that were done. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a nice quiet moment compared to the noise of the rest of the park. I also enjoy spending lots of time by the fountains. I’m sure you know that already as I’am the fountain ERT guy. I would actually rather sit by the fountains at night to watch the fireworks than get a Beast night ride.

whengodsaysgo Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 EXtreme Skyflyer! What I have found is that you can go purchase your ticket earlier in the day when the price is lower (plus the Gold Pass discount!) and then come back when the line dies down or at night - which is my favorite time to fly. Also, the coin operated foot massagers near Viking Fury/AE walkway. For a quarter, it's quite the deal. Feels lovely. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is their park surveillance system---and their police! We had two phones, a wallet, and other random items stolen one visit. ALL OF IT returned, thieves nabbed! We were amazed. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikid74 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Individually, none of these things are under rated, but I'd consider this oddball combo one of my favorites: Banshee, front row, at night, barefoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
