Expect a busy day today. We expect crowds to be dispersed between the water park and theme park. As with any Saturday, crowds start out strong in the morning and build steadily throughout the afternoon. There is often a second rush between 4:30 and 6:30 as water park guests transition over to thrills. Busy days can be a lot of fun if you set your expectations appropriately.

Expect a busy day today. The market is flooded with Bring a Friend for Free tickets. Weather could shift temporarily in the afternoon. If you can wait it out, you should still get in a great day. We have been seeing significant lines at security as the new system is triggering more secondary bag checks. Don't be scared if the line for security is long when you arrive. The line moves, just not as quickly as we would all like!
