Best Day To Go?

[karuler92]

Im planning on going sometime between the next two weeks. what days are the least crowded in the park, the days i can get on the most rides?

Hey karuler, mid-week is always the best in the summer. In the Spring, it can be a toss up. Many school groups go during the week and you may want to call the park and see how many groups they are expecting for the day. Sunday mornings are a good time to go. Never go to a Six Flags park on a Saturday. It's crowded and the crowd is rough.

Welcome to the boards!

You can always take a VIP tour.  There is never a crown on those.....

And here I thought every VIP was a king or queen befitting a tiara....

Those Tiaras have hard time staying on when you ride Toro.

sorry I wasnt very specific, I am going during the week and was wondering which day was the least crowded Monday-friday?

[GADVwow]

Of the weekdays, Monday and Friday are almost always the most busy (though weather is also a factor...and groups can be unpredictable).  At most parks, Tuesday-Thursday are the least busy days of the week, and Great Adventure is seldom an exception.

As Dan said there are many school trips this time of the year.
And note that park is only open until 6:00 PM (M-Th).
It is very hard to know when / if there will be many of these groups.
Now a Friday trip may work out if you stay until closing.
Many of these buses leave at 6:00PM and the park is open until 9:00PM.
Or you can pay and get flash pass if you see tons of busses in the lot.

Fridays are typically best bang for the buck.  Usually the large groups leave early in the evening and during the summer they are open later than weekdays as Ken mentioned.

On the days they are open late you can usually get on more rides in that last 2-3 hours than the entire day combined so personally if I were spending the money for that one trip of the year, I'd plan to stay til closing time.  You may want to check the parade schedule as well since it is currently only doing weekends.

If money is no object (yeah, I know lol), then do the VIP tour

And welcome to Updates!
