Little ways to save
Get there right at opening and buy the Early Bird wristband at the gate. That's $15 off per rider.
Grandparents who won't ride get in free, so only buy bands for riders.
Outside food, drinks and coolers are not allowed. Eat before or plan on park food.
Two visits or more in a season and the season pass pays for itself, especially when it is on sale.
