04 · The parks

What each one is.

Legoland Orlando

LEGOLAND Florida sits in Winter Haven, about 45 minutes south-west of Orlando, on the site of the old Cypress Gardens. It's pitched at families with kids 2-12 and has a full LEGO-themed line-up: The Dragon castle coaster, Coastersaurus, the LEGO Movie World area, and a separate water park during warmer months. A smaller Peppa Pig Theme Park operates next door as a separate admission.

Because LEGOLAND Florida is less crowded than the big Orlando parks, queue times stay manageable most of the year - but holiday weeks and LEGO convention weekends can push waits up sharply. Check the crowd calendar for your visit date, and use live wait times to pick up rides with light queues during slower afternoon hours.

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.
