04 · The parks

What each one is.

Sesame Place Langhorne

Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pennsylvania is the original Sesame Street theme park, a short drive north of Philadelphia and aimed squarely at children under ten. It mixes a dry side of family rides such as Oscar's Wacky Taxi Coaster, Vapor Trail Coaster and Elmo's Cloud Chaser with a water park of slides and splash areas, plus daily character parades and shows.

Because the audience is young and the park is small, queues build fast in the middle of the day and thin out again as families leave in the afternoon. Wait times here rarely reach big-park levels, but the crowd calendar will still show you which summer weekends to avoid, and checking live before you arrive helps you decide whether to start on the rides or the water side.

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.
