    On a clear day you can see both New York City and Philadelphia from the top of Kingda Ka.

    The 8 dollar an hour staff tend to not do the best check of bags. You can easily roll up water bottles inside your towels and bring them in.

    Pretty good roller coasters. But if you go alone, you can ride much more!

    The Justice League 4D ride reminds me of the Buzz Lightyear ride in Disney with out the 3D.

    Take 537 as opposed to 195 during peak times. You'll thank me later - especially if you have kids.

    Fast pass not necessary on a Wed in the summer. There are hardly any lines & the park isn't crowded.

    ok, listen up. the Nitro is by far the most ridiculously awesome roller coaster of all time. Man up and go for it! Twice!

    Great roller coasters. Nasty bathrooms. Rides and Safari were not operating. Still prefer Busch Gardens parks.

    Get to the Dead Man's Party show early so you can get good standing room.

    the scream machine is what the park is known for. The Nitro is the best but the Scream Machine has the best tradition

    Buy a flash pass (even if it's just a basic one). Sure it's an extra 30 bucks (less depending on your group size more depending on the level) but it is worth every penny!

    This park is basically one big advertisement. Every attraction is sponsored by a candy bar or a bag of chips. Can't escape the advertising.

    Smelly and many broken down rides throughout the day.. But still fun!

    Avoid the boring "dark night" and shaky "batman" and "scream machine" rides and focus on riding NITRO as much as possible, the smoothest ride in the park. El Torro could also be called fear factor. Up

    Kingda Ka is merely a scenery piece. Consider yourself lucky if it's actually open. Enjoy El Toro and Nitro instead.

    El Toro's still the best — can't beat a steep drop at top speeds.

    FIRST OF ALL: Don't carry your iPhone in short shorts when riding Kingda Ka. #2: Nitro+El Toro. That's it.

    Don't bring in a bag. Can't bring on rides. They make you rent a locker for $8 an hour. Grrr!

    They are going down hill pretty quick. I remember when the park was good. Now they have a quarter of the park shut down.

    Don't be afraid to keep your hands up on El Toro. I'm about 6'1'' and had my arms up the whole time. Although the structures are low you're fine to show your enthusiasm.

    Leave your purse in your car because they will force you to pay $1 per ride or $8 for multiple rides.
