Upcoming SFSL visit, Also visting WoF and Frontier City in several weeks for the first time.

[Ansley]

In a few days my kids and I are visiting SFSL, probably only spend 5-6 hours in the park, and will try to arive at opening. I haven't been there since 2002! Have a few questions if anyone can help:

1) Is there any early opening / ride times for Season Pass or Memberships? We have Gold Plus Memberships.

2) Plan of attack? Which coasters should we ride first. The newer coasters probably interest me the most. We are most interested in the 3 woodies, Batman, Mr. Freeze, then Panadamonium. I realized that SFSL has added very little, no big or new steel coaster at all, surprising.

3) Any tips on food or dining? We have meal plan and drink bottles.

For Worlds of Fun and Frontier City, similar questions and advice. First visits for all of us, and again will spend 3-6 hours at each park. They are a few weeks away so more time to plan.

I went to the Missouri parks in 2006, so a little more recent, but not much. Enjoyed the Six Flags park a lot, but crowds were definitely not too bad during the week, and ride lines were short the whole day. Mr. Freeze was closed during my one visit, it was when all the Premier launch coasters were down. I’d love to get back to that park for the “new” wood coaster.

Worlds of Fun was short lines as well, except Patriot, which was new that year. Would like to get back to ride their “new” wood coaster as well.

Still never been to Frontier City, I’ve been slacking on visiting new to me places in recent years.

For SfStl, you would travel clockwise from the entrance. Besides the woodies, there really isn't much at this park. It's a step child with two Old Skool rides, that being Boomerang and Ninja. My page tells the story.

The science museum in St. Louis is good. They also have a zoo worth visiting if you have the time.

Heading over to WoF, I get that, It's also a step child park of CF, but at least they have Prowler, Patriot, and Mamba.

What gets me next, is why are you skipping Silver Dollar City on the way to Frontier City? I see it's a little out of the way near Joplin, but if you haven't been, it's worth going.

We ended up going to Holiday World, two youngest hadn't been there. We had a blast, coasters were running great. Voyage is still undenaibly my #1 coaster. We stopped at SFSL for a while, was hoping to ride most of the coasters but was VERY crowded and only got two coasters and dinner in.

On the way back we did hit Frontier City, smaller pary than I thought, a bit crowded, and nothing really stood out. Coasters are meh, food was meh, but the park looked good.

We got rained out for WoF and a return to SFSL, so didn't hit them on the way back.

Also, purposely didn't do Silver Dollar City because can't do it justice without at least an entire day and we didn't have time for that.

The overall trip to CA was awesome though! Had a wonderful time at Universal, Disney (Galaxy's Edge was VERY nice), SFMM and Knott's.
