Top Amusement Parks Rides in USA

I recommend hitting the less popular rides first thing, like the Matterhorn or the Alice in Wonderland ride. The lines build up quickly, but they’re way worth it.

Don't miss the nighttime shows! Find a good spot an hour before. We learned the hard way after getting stuck way at the back. Better to be early and up close!

Consider packing your own snacks. The food inside the park can get pretty pricey and the quality doesn't always match the price. I brought some granola bars and saved a bunch!

Bring a refillable water bottle. There are refill stations, and this saved me a ton of cash instead of buying bottled water all day!

Check the app for ride wait times. It was super helpful for planning which rides to hit next without wasting time standing around.

if you're going to park, pay the $15 for the shaded parking garage. it's totally worth it to save yourself from baking in the sun while you walk inside.
