Strategy Notes

Must-do first: Giant Dipper builds the longest waits by early afternoon. Ride it within the first 30–60 minutes after opening.

Double Shot and Typhoon: Popular on warm summer days. Hit these before 1pm or wait for the late-afternoon crowd reduction.

Family strategy: The Boardwalk's smaller scale means you can realistically do everything in one day. Cave Train, Sea Swings, and Logger's Revenge are great for mixed-age groups.
