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 Over Texas

Six Flags Over Texas is the original Six Flags park, opened in 1961 in Arlington - the location that gave the whole chain its name. The coaster line-up includes New Texas Giant (a record-setting Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid), Titan (a 255-foot hyper coaster), Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast, Judge Roy Scream, Shock Wave, and the classic Runaway Mine Train.

Texas school holidays, the extremely popular Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park events drive most of Six Flags Over Texas's peak crowds. Summer heat can push queue times up as guests seek the shadier rides and water attractions. Check live wait times for New Texas Giant and Titan on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a cooler, lower-crowd midweek date.
