Our family had a great experience at our first (family) trip to Six Flags!
Rides are restricted by height, so ensure your shortest family member is a min of 36" or you will be paying a lot of money for very little to do.
Main Height Breakdowns:
36" Height - Access to:
- All the kiddie rides (think sitting in a car that follows a pre-set path; planes that circle).
- Located in County Fair Kidzopolis & Hometown Square
- 2 roller coasters: The Whizzer and Little Dipper (our small guy loved both)
- Roaring Rapids & Yankee Clipper/Log Rides
42" Height - Access to all of the above and:
- Justice League - 4D Laser Game
- Demon - upside down roller coaster
- The Dark Knight - completely dark indoor coaster (note: scared my 6yo and a nearby older child)
48" Height - All of the above and:
- 12 additional coasters/water rides, including The Joker, Goliath, and Giant Drop
54" Height - Everything, including:
- Batman
- X flight
- Superman
Noteworthy:
- The park opens earlier than stated on the website, so arrive early for great parking and faster admittance.
- Upon entry, beeline for the rides you most want to experience - no line; no wait! Most likely you will be able to ride it a few times without a wait.
- We arrived when the park opened, and made it until 6pm before we tired out. Didn't even make it to Hurricane Harbor.
- We came dressed in our swim suits, as there are splash pads and water rides in the normal park. We were glad we did. Our kids did not enjoy roaring rapids or the yankee clipper (which was sad for the parents).
- Food in the park is expensive, and many smart folks leave the park and eat in their car.

There are typically ways to save on ticket prices, so make sure to check online.
Kid's Jury: 4 stars
Had a great time. Would like it more if costs were lower for kids that can't do many of the rides :) Only complaint.
