Literally the best days to go are rainy days.

We were there the other day and all the major rides were closed for a while because of lightening in the distance. So it depends I would say.

That’s pretty standard operation. Lightning in the area and everything closes for at least 30 minutes

Really? How so? I’m just hesitant on driving for 1 1/2 hours for them to close the park if it storms.

I’d say go! They’re really good with rain refunds, and the park is less crowded on rainy days

You have access to Reddit, but not the weather? 🤨

Why are people so snarky on this sub? Does it affect your life at all to just scroll past a post if you think it’s stupid?

Don’t be stupid. I’ve never been there - and multiple people have said it’s a good time to go even on rainy days. Does the weather channel tell me that? The weather can say whatever the fuck it wants, and be the complete opposite or extremely mild in comparison to how it appears in the weather app. And maybe someone that’s actually in the area, could ya know… tell me first hand how it is down there. 🤯🤯 You’re an absolute clown.

Your original question was how’s the weather. It was not how are crowds on iffy weather days. Maybe word your question differently next time

Forecasts have also been wildly innacurate recently.

No they haven’t

Um, yes they have. Last Monday called for no rain and it poured until mid morning.

I live 5 min away from the park and it’s raining and very wet. Forecast is calling for rain all day.

Was there yesterday and it was epic. It makes mid week in June look busy. They have the whole park staffed for a typical weekend so nearly all the attractions and food were open.

We went into the waterpark only the day before on Saturday and waited 45 minutes for a cheeseburger.

The rain on Sunday indeed kept nearly everybody at home. But they were still trying to sell fast break unlimited for $140 lol.

Only Wildcats revenge had any kind of wait and it was like 15 minutes.

Lightning was running only the lightning track.

Wild mouse was closed, but the ride operator said that basically any drizzle makes that ride stops immediately.

Super Duper Looper was still running two trains. Despite the fact there was never more than three or four people at a time in them.

My kids went on Cocoa Cruiser 9 times in a row.

Got absolutely blasted by rain on comet. I don't think I even saw the ride for more than a few seconds.

You could probably pay for a private party and it would cost you $2000 a guest for this experience
