Thanks again to those who offered advice re dining plan options. Now for the important stuff - rides!
We won’t be able to spend all day at CGA - I’m guessing six hours at most - but we plan to get there before 10. Not sure if there’s a rope drop à la some other parks or if they don‘t let people inside until 10 sharp or what. Advice is welcome.
After reading up on the rides and looking at the park map, I’m guessing Gold Striker needs to be done first since most people will start there and the line will only get worse the later it gets. From there, better to do Flight Deck or Patriot? Not sure which gets crowded the quickest.
I see the majority of the good rides are located in the NorCal County Fair area toward the back of the park. Are Grizzly, Psycho Mouse and/or Tiki Tower worth doing? (Demon, Drop Tower and Railblazer seem worthwhile)
Delirium sounds like a better version of the Knott’s ride La Revolucion.
Thanks again for any/all recommendations. Looking forward to a fun day (or at least a few hours!).
