    Free soda and sunscreen. Check your local supermarket or credit union for discount tickets before you come. Early or late in the season you'll get the best weather and the shortest lines.

    If you go to the water park -- and you should, it's excellent -- be sure to bring (or buy) aquasocks / swimshoes to protect your feet while walking on the hot concrete.

    Take a lightweight string backpack to stow hats, sunglasses, phones, and wallets. All coasters have free lockers since you can't take anything on the ride, but it's a hassle to have everything loose.

    Best wooden coaster I've ever ridden - biggest and longest of the three in the park. Ride in opposite order - Raven, then Legend then end with Voyage. Bring Tylenol for the Gs, baby! Read more

    They are strict about phones, even in your pocket on coasters, so keep em out of sight when you are about to board a train or use a free locker to be safe.
