About each park

Cedar Point

Cedar Point is a legendary coaster park on a Lake Erie peninsula in Sandusky, Ohio. Founded in 1870, it's one of the oldest operating amusement parks in North America and consistently rated as one of the world's best coaster parks. The line-up is staggering: Steel Vengeance, Millennium Force, Magnum XL-200, Maverick, Gatekeeper, Raptor, Top Thrill 2, and many more across the park's 364 acres.

Cedar Point's season runs May to early November, with US summer school holidays, HalloWeekends and weekend days driving the biggest crowds. Midweek days in May, September and early October are dramatically quieter. Check live wait times for Steel Vengeance and Maverick immediately on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a quieter date for marathon coaster days.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

Six Flags Fiesta Texas sits in a former limestone quarry in San Antonio, Texas - one of the most distinctive settings of any US theme park. The coaster line-up includes Iron Rattler (a Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid), Batman: The Ride (a 4-D free-fly coaster), Superman Krypton Coaster, Poltergeist, and Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster. A Hurricane Harbor Pirate Cove water park is included with admission.

Texas school holidays, Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park drive Fiesta Texas's peak crowds. Summer San Antonio heat pushes queue times up in the afternoons as guests head to the shaded quarry walls and water rides. Check live wait times for Iron Rattler and Wonder Woman on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a cooler midweek date for shorter queues.
