We only had a few hours because we went on a Sunday and they opened at 12:00. We wanted to rest before Elton John concert. Anyway, we planned to only go on the thrilling rides. The park is a little difficult to navigate. Harder to figure out than Disneyland and map helped only a little. But we made it to all the big rides because the lines weren't that long. They always seemed to be longer after we got off. The best rides were the Rail Blazer and Flight Deck. Those were so good. But they're all really short. The app kept saying the wait times were 90 minutes, but in truth it was only 5 minutes. Not sure what is up with that thing.
The food is ridiculously expensive. We went to Maggie Brown's Famous Fried Chicken. Two chicken tender plates, one side Mac and cheese, and a drink was $53!!!! I freaked out. Even the carnival games were $10-$20 each. I played one game, didn't win so that was it.
All in all, we spent a total of 4 hours there. For a park ticket that was under $30, it was worth it for the rides, but the Fast Lane wasn't needed. And parking costs $25. Just wouldn't eat there beyond a simple snack because it isn't worth it. Only open Friday thru Sunday too.

We just attended the Tricks and Treats Halloween shows and events and really liked it. It's all family-friendly, not scary, lots of families with small children. Older children there too but not like what we've heard in the past with troublesome kids. It was full of things to do for all ages of kids, even little ones. Some great musical shows, especially the trio in the New Orleans spooky section (although this would be appreciated more by adults.) The main stage show, waking up Patch the big pumpkin, was lively and fun. (When the park closes they have another shorter show to put Patch to sleep!). Great decorations all around, good soundtrack. Can't rave about the food but oh well. Very well attended, less crowded early, more crowded later but also something fun about being there after dark, Oh, also some characters walking around interacting with guests, Lots of little touches that add to the decor and atmosphere, plenty of photo-ops.

We visited on Labor Day and the park was severely understaffed. Nearly half the rides were closed and wait times for food were far too long if the food location was staffed at all. They shouldn't have been open with so little staff.

For our last day of our SF Bay Area vacation, we decided to go to here. We used our Go City Explorer Pass to cover admission, so that was a very good deal compared to regular online admission price. We prepaid for parking (saves $5) and Premium All Day dining passes.
We were expecting to get in right at open, but with the line-up to get into the parking lot, time to find parking, time to walk to the entrance, time to clear security and then pick up our tickets, we probably got in about 45min after open. Make sure to budget that time!
We did a few of the rides, all which were fun. We had to wait about 30-45 min for each ride. One of the last rides we waited for broke down during our wait, so that was a bit disappointing.
We did play in the arcade to see if we could earn enough tickets to earn prizes. I spent about $100, and my kids only walked away with a couple of small toys and candy, so it was one of the worst value arcades we've ever played in.
We did take advantage of the Premium All Day Dining meal plans that provide you a free entree and side/snack every 90 minutes, and soda every 15 minutes. This is a relatively good deal since you break even at 2 entrees & 2 drinks, so anything after that is bonus. Since we did spend the entire day there, we got our full value. That being said, the food we sampled throughout the day was average at best (Panda Express being the worst).
We had time to take a few pictures with some of the Peanuts gang, which was nice. The water park looked fun, but was super busy, so we didn't use it.
Overall, we enjoyed our visit. It was an easy day, where we basically focused on rides and food. I just wished we got a better return on the arcade prizes.

This was our 2nd US theme park visit. We preferred Carowinds in the Carolinas. Make sure you buy tickets before visiting. We travelled from Bonny Soon (just outside Santa Cruz) - park was well signed posted close by. Parking was fine. A number of rides were closed (smaller wooden rollercoaster) or opened very late (the rapids). Water park needs more changing rooms & the wave pool was too shallow. Biggest gripe was the all day dining plan. We eventually got value for money. However, most concessions do not open until lunchtime. Others are too restrictive & make you feel 2nd class = esp Panda Express & the waffle place. We went right at the end of the US school holidays & it had a very end of season vibe. A bonus, if you're a Niners fan, is that the park shares the same car park as the stadium.

First visit since 2019, with 13 & 11 yos & parents, and first time visitors to the water park side. We really like GA! I think it's well worth the admission, which is reasonable if you buy online in advance. A few rides weren't running (I don't know why not) so that's always a little disappointing, but not unusual for a theme park. We encountered a couple of great, engaging ride attendants who were amusing. Line was too long at Mass Effect, so didn't get to that (unfortunate) and our longest wait on a Sunday in July was 45 minutes for the rapids ride, which gets you soaked and I would just as soon not have done that since we went to the water park afterward anyway. The food is so-so and the lines are loooong. We always bring a picnic lunch, leave it in the car, and eat outside. Would recommend! We spent 8 hours and happy with them.

We went to buy churros but we got a stick of bread with sugar instead. Don't waste your money on churros here.

Go on a weekday when everything is open. Not too busy especially if you go early. We did not need fast lane. $15 for a slice of pizza or hot dog with chips. Get tickets online for better price including parking. If you have access to”Tickets at Work” discount service then get your tickets there.

We went to CAGA for memorial weekend. We went to South Harbor the first day which is the water park area within the main park.
Sadly a lot of the slides were closed and it seemed like the employees were ready for the opening for the season. We still had fun even though a lot of the water attractions were closed.
The second day we spent in the main park and had a blast. The lines were not crazy for a holiday weekend and the longest wait we had for a ride was 40 minutes. The park was clean and the staff were friendly.
You can expect to pay around 14 bucks per meal at the park and 5 bucks per drink.

If I'm planning on staying in the park to eat, lunch, dinner, snack and/or dessert, how much money should I budget per person?

Buy the meal plan. I’ve always bought 1 for 2 people to share. You can get an Entree and side every 90 mins. I would set my watch timer. Lol 😂. Same with the all day drink cup. Honestly a small drink seemed like it was $4 or more. We took turns choosing the meal each time and drink. Actually fun!

Yes you should however we travel very light so I never bring more than a small waist pack with me. There is a water park so you can store bags in lockers there or larger bags at the front.

Does Great America offer towels or do I need to bring my own? Also, should we do the water park at the end of the day of the beginning. We would only want to go on some of the great water slides. No children involved. Just two adults looking for fun. Any tips on how to plan for this visit would be great!

Hands down six flags magic mountain! There is plenty to do for kids of all ages. We are a family of four with children ages 8 & 13. There are a couple of water rides to cool off, although on busy days I'd recommend a fastpass. If you have time to go next door to Hurricane Harbor I'd recommend checking it out too. Hope this helps!

No it is included in admission which makes this a good option for a hot day. Ride the rides in the morning, cool off in afternoon. Disclaimer I did not actually go to BB just looked at it and it seemed good. We didn't have time on our one quick day.

I’m thinking of maybe visiting next Thursday for a few hours. How are the lines for Gold Striker, Flight Deck, and Railblazer on weekdays as those are the rides I’m mostly would go there for.

On a weekday if you get there early there are no lines. We road railblazer first and there was no line (for the front no lines early either). About noon - 1pm lines start to form, Railblazer was the longest at 40 minutes. None of the others had lines. We went on a Wednesday in July. No need for fast passes if you get there early.
