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 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.
