04 · The parks

What each one is.

Legoland New York

LEGOLAND New York is the newest LEGOLAND resort, opening in Goshen, New York in 2021, about an hour north of New York City. The park covers 150 acres and groups rides into seven themed lands including LEGO Castle, LEGO City, and Pirates. Rides include The Dragon, LEGO Factory Adventure Ride, and a full MINILAND featuring New York landmarks.

As one of the newer parks, LEGOLAND New York hasn't built up the same year-round attendance as Florida or California, so weekday visits stay pleasantly quiet. The summer and fall weekends draw busier crowds from NYC and New Jersey day-trippers. Check live wait times on arrival and use the crowd calendar to avoid peak holiday weekends.

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.
