Answer 1

Although it wont be dark, you should try to be there the moment it opens, to get the full rollercoaster experience. That way, if you get a flash pass, you'll have it the entire day instead of a few hours. Stay as late as you can to get the scary aspect of fright fest in, and if you can, bring your own food, its very expensive. I'd also recomend buying one of those $13 cups at the beginning of your day, and refill it as often as you'd like. after you refill it twice, it has paid for itself.
