That's why I'm hoping this wing-rider will be better.

Well Leviathan isn't a wing-rider sooo...

I thought it was a wing rider like Sky Rush. I guess I've got it wrong???

Yes, I'm a big B&M hyper fan, so I'm expecting to like it. I also thought I'd love Sky Rush as I said earlier. I guess it's an acquired taste that I didn't acquire while I was there for several days.

To anyone familiar with the park, how bad is CW for crowds? How much worse is it on weekends than on weekdays? I'll be heading up there in late August with a friend (finally! Been waiting years...seems like a good time for it now with Leviathan!), but it's going to have to be a long weekend. It looks like we'll have sat/sun/mon in the area, and we can probably afford to do two days there if we need to. I assume Saturday is the worst day, but how are crowds are Sundays and Mondays?

Also, anyone know of any really good deals for tickets?

Thanks!

[clewis4uI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

Weekends are really busy. Long weekends are crazy busy. Hope you've got extra cash for a Fast Lane pass. Otherwise you'll likely find it unbearable.

Sorry, I wasn't really clear. A long weekend for me, as in I can take a day or two out of work. Not an actual holiday weekend.

[Dom497Donkeys give me orgiastic scream!]

^If its hot and you don't plan on buying a Fast Lane, its not worth going. Wonderland is packed 7 days a week...now that school is out for the summer.

[kunpc1I wrote the book about donkeys!]

If you're there on a crazy hot day, you'll probably do alright without FastLane. We had some VERY hot, sunny days a week or so ago and the park was not overly busy. Basically if it's a day where most won't want to be outside (TOO hot, rainy, etc), the park won't be too busy. I'm told that day the lines for Leviathan were as short as 10-15 minutes by the evening.

If you have the extra cash though, I would highly recommend FastLane. Even if the park is moderately busy, it will make a HUGE difference as most coasters have poor capacity. Other than Behemoth and Leviathan, lines don't move very quickly.

If you enjoy water parks, I would recommend purchasing FastLane, get a couple laps in on rides during the first hour the park is open. Get to Splash Works as soon as it opens. Lap the water park then head back into the park and take full advantage of cutting the lines.

Okay. I'm not usually one for Fastpass; it's not an issue of money, but I just don't like the whole basis behind it, people with more money getting to cut people who often just don't have it to spend in lines. But, I may have to swallow my pride and go for it this time; I'm not likely to get back there any time soon, and I'm taking a friend who doesn't get to get out much, and I want to make sure she has a great weekend. I'll see what weather and crowds are like when I get there, but it sounds like it's worth it. I want to make sure we get on everything there in the day and a half or so we have planned at the park, if at all possible. Thanks.

Definitely buy the fast pass it is worth every penny. I did Cw for the first time used the fast pass and had a blast.

^^What pride?!? Come on, I am sick of these "I hate XXX where people with more money get better service". Go move to North Korea then. Everything on the planet has a 'you pay more, you get more'. Hotels, food, transportation, housing, cars, clothes, etc.

Seriously, buy the fast lane and you'll have a better day. Done.

[mightypotatoIf the donkey is rockin, don't come knockin!]

I cannot stress how true this is. It's an extra service that you have the option to pay for or not pay for. In my opinion, it is well worth the money, especially at this park where it seems to be always busy (especially on a weekend). If you don't plan on coming back for a long time, or this is a one off type thing, it's in your best interest to get Fast Lane to ensure you get all of your credits.
