04 · The parks

What each one is.

Legoland California

LEGOLAND California sits in Carlsbad, 30 minutes north of San Diego, and was the second LEGOLAND park to open (1999). It includes the main theme park, a SEA LIFE aquarium and a separate water park, all aimed at families with children up to about 12. Highlights include The Dragon castle coaster, Driving School, Coastersaurus, and a MINILAND USA built from around 32 million LEGO bricks.

California's year-round mild weather keeps crowds steady, but Southern California school breaks and summer weekends drive queue times up significantly. Check live wait times before tackling The Dragon and the flying school, and use the crowd calendar to pick a midweek visit if you want a relaxed pace.

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.
