Crowds at Hersheypark?

Question

Hi!

I will be going to Hersheypark this Saturday (August 23rd), and I would like to know what kind of wait times I should expect for rides. I know that it's not the best idea to go to a theme park on a weekend because of the crowds, but that's the only day I can go.

Also, what would be the ideal schedule for riding rides? During previous weekday visits to Hersheypark, I've found that there are little to no lines at the rides in the Midway America section of the park in the morning -- that's where Wildcat and Lightning Racer are. Does that apply to the weekends, as well?

I won't be spending any time in the Boardwalk area, so I don't need any information about that part of the park.

Thank you!

Answer 1

all weekends are roughly the same patern...get there early and ride without waiting...get there at about the three hour mark and the lines are longer and in the evening even longer.
