Steps To A Successful Amusement Park Visit
Going to an amusement park might seem simple to some people, but to others, it can be stressful and expensive. I am here to provide step by step instructions on how to prepare for your trip, how to get the most out of your day, and money saving tips.
1. Find a theme park that has what you’re looking for. Whether that is roller coasters, water parks, shows, etc. You cannot plan your trip until you figure out which amusement park you want to attend. Then pick a date. I recommend a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, since those are the least busy days out of the weekend. Obviously the weekends are going to be the busiest.
2. Next you may need to book some kind of lodging. If you are not spending the night before or after your visit then skip this step. If you’re booking a hotel, make sure to check out third party sites such as Priceline, Booking, and Expedia. They offer great hotel discounts that will help you save some big money. If you are at a park with hotels owned by the amusement park, you should consider staying there. Those hotels offer a fun and exciting atmosphere revolving around their amusement park. You can also sometimes get discounted tickets and meals from staying at their hotels. A general hotel tip is to always check TripAdvisor when booking a hotel.
3. Now it brings us to the ticket prices. I STRONGLY recommend buying your tickets in advance and online. The most expensive place you can buy your tickets is at the amusement park gate. Be smart, shop online. Parks usually give online discounts when ordering your tickets. You can also find lots of discount codes online from sites such as retailmenot.com. Also, stores in the amusement parks region can also offer discounted tickets and/or coupons. Just do your research and see what the best deal is. As mentioned before, staying at the amusement parks hotel can help you receive discounted tickets.
4. Now it’s time to head to park for your big vacation!
5. A little trick that a lot of people don’t know is that a lot of amusement parks have a last call ride program. For example, if your park closes at 10:00pm, anybody who got in line at 9:59pm and before will get to wait in line and finish until everyone makes it through the line. So if you are really serious about riding rides, then definitely try this trick. Save a long line to hop in at the last minute since you’re not losing valuable riding time due to the park being closed.
6.Enjoy!
In conclusion, proper planning is needed for any sort of vacation. By doing research you can maximize value and save money all at once. Visit http://ridingcoastersforlife.blogspot.com/ to read the full article with more in-depth steps.
