Brought the wife and kid out for a day at Calaway, wasn't exactly excited to be there...boy was I turned around! We went first thing on a Sunday am and we hit about 6 rides before we had to wait in any lines. I ended up having lots of fun. The kids manning the ride were much less scary than the transient looking guys running rides at the stampede. Best bet is to buy the yearly passes at Co-op before the season starts as they are about the same price as regular day passes.
