04 · The parks

What each one is.

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 Over Georgia

Six Flags Over Georgia sits in Austell, just west of Atlanta, and has been running since 1967. The coaster line-up includes Goliath (a 200-foot hyper coaster), Twisted Cyclone (a Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid), Batman the Ride, Superman: Ultimate Flight, and the classic Mind Bender. A Hurricane Harbor water park operates on the same site.

Georgia school holidays, the Fright Fest Halloween event, and Atlanta-area weekend visits drive peak crowds. Summer heat and humidity push queue times up in the afternoon as guests head to shaded and indoor rides. Check live wait times for Goliath and Twisted Cyclone on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a midweek visit in May, September or October for far shorter waits.
