Suggested Time to Spend
Plan a full day (8–10 hours) to experience the major rides, shows, and character meet-and-greets without rushing. Arrive at opening time to beat the queues for the top coasters, and check the show schedule to fit in the stunt show and parade. If you're visiting during peak season, consider a VIP tour or skip-the-line pass to maximise your time.
