About each park

Animal Kingdom

Disney's Animal Kingdom blends a full theme park with a working zoo. The park sits at Walt Disney World and is the largest of the four by area. Signature attractions include Avatar Flight of Passage, Na'vi River Journey, Expedition Everest, Kilimanjaro Safaris, and the Festival of the Lion King show. Pandora – The World of Avatar regularly posts the longest wait times in the park.

Animal Kingdom is usually less crowded than Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios, but Avatar Flight of Passage still routinely exceeds 60-minute queue times. Early mornings are best for the safaris when animals are most active. Check live wait times on arrival and head to Pandora first. Use our crowd calendar to pick a quieter date outside US school holidays for a more relaxed visit.

Six Flags Frontier City

Frontier City sits in Oklahoma City and is the smallest of the Six Flags parks, themed around an Old West town. The coaster line-up includes Steel Lasso, Silver Bullet (a Vekoma corkscrew), Diamond Back (a shuttle-style coaster), Wildcat wooden coaster, and Mystery River Log Flume. A White Water Bay water park operates at a separate nearby site during summer.

Oklahoma school holidays, US summer weekends and the Fright Fest event drive Frontier City's peak crowds. Weekdays outside school breaks stay very quiet, often with walk-on queue times. Check live wait times on arrival and use our crowd calendar to pick a midweek visit - Frontier City pairs well with a road-trip stop rather than a destination-park holiday.
