We went during an extremely hot Saturday in August so I would not recommend going at that time but that is the only time we could do it so we made the best of it. It was incredibly crowded and they warn you on the website not to go on Saturdays but again we had no choice and wanted to take our two kids 13 and 15 year olds to do the coasters. I have some tips that we found that will hopefully make your trip more enjoyable. They do offer fast passes but they were $40 extra on that day(different prices at different days) so x4 that was not happening for us. one thing we found out that if you ask for a large cup of ice water (instead of the tiny tiny ones they first offer you) they will give you the larger ice water cups for free! Otherwise, if you prefer bottled water, then it is $10 for 4 bottles then you could fill those up at the water fountains near all of the bathrooms. We were craving a milkshake and went to the Jukebox diner and they said they were out of milkshakes! However, there was plenty of other food and snack places. I found the layout of the park very confusing and I am usually good at directions. There are not any directional signs so make sure you ask for a map. Another tip is to see if there are any coupon codes online. I bought our tickets in advance and found two specials that brought the cost down to $31/each. One of our favorite coasters was the Afterburn. It was worth the 40 min wait. The kids liked the southern star and there was no wait. They waited for the vortex and it was about 1 1/2 hour wait! And the two drinking water fountains in the line were broken. this is a 90 degree day in the summer. Also, How hard would it be for them to post a sign at the entrance to each coaster line that had an "approximate wait time from this point."? I am not expecting Disney standards but they could easily improve the experience of each guest with minimal effort. We walked through the water park section and decided against it. it was crazy crowded. I recommend wearing a bathing suit under your clothes if you plan on trying out that part of the park. Even with all of my complaining All in all, I had a fun time going on 5 or so coasters/rides. If you enjoy rollercoasters, this place has amazing ones! I want to try it without the crowds one day...maybe during the week.
