Golioath Rocks the west but Millinnium Force Rules The Rest

What does knowing somebody have to do with it? It is physically impossible to ride all of the rides at a park the size of Knotts in 15 minutes. That includes as soon as you pass the entrance and finally leave the exit. It is impossible.

My shortest - 25 minutes @ VF (5:35-6:00) in early May 2000.

BUT this was the end of a 'student day', the rugrats were either gone or getting on their buses.....so during this brief time I scored five (count 'em, FIVE) rides on the new PT (3 Drops, 2 shots)

Then I drove 2 miles down the road and picked up my kids from their grandma's.

Nice day.

Certainly it is no problem to spend a short amount of time in a park if you have a season pass - you can come back anytime.

Shortest time as a normal (non-season) guest: 4 hours at Wild Adventures, Valdosta, GA - there isn't all that much there, and there never seem to be any lines. My husband doesn't work well with circular rides, so we pretty much do the coasters and leave.

Shortest time as an employee: Probably 10 minutes, going on the Corkscrew and back out, just for a kick. Or the 5 minutes it takes to cross from one set of dorms to the other, just walking across the midway - but that doesn't exactly count! :)

Let's get the POLL to 100 VOTES today!

SF Great Adventure-> 8 minutes, Batman and Freefall. Then home. Just a quick fix...

I spent an hour in "Lightwater Valley" in the UK. The rides are awful, and the smell of the farm animals and rancid burger fat was so bad, I just had to leave. It was my first and only visit to the park, and was the worst park I'd ever been to.

#Life is a rollercoaster you just gotta ride it#

I was at SFO one day during Fright Fest for two hours. Superman and Villain were the only two coasters operating due to the weather, and Texas Twister was the only flat ride going. They closed the park at 3:00 because the 66 guests weren't enough to keep the park going.

2 hours at SFO on the Thursday before CoasterMania, last year. Hit all the coasters (dead day) and then hit the road for CP...

Don't know if this qualifies but.

In 89, we were going to CP on a wet and windy day. We reached the gate and saw a sign that said Magnum is closed currently due to the weather. Since Magnum was the greatest thing in the world (back then anyway), that's all we pretty much came for that day. I did not even see my beloved Gemini running (back then you could see a bit further) so instead of paying $20 to ride Blue Streak, we traveld 50 miles home. No season pass for me that year :(.

I don't know if this counts but I only spent about ten minutes to ride the flume (Real big fan of their flume) at Knott's Camp Snoopy a couple months back. Then I went back to the mall and ate and went to Valleyfair.

You build it, I'll ride it...eventually

I was in Harrisburg last year for a union meeting and it let out around 9pm. I figured that would give me about a half hour at Hershey. Little did I know the park swiched to their shortened hours and the park closed at 9pm. Lucky for me I got stuck in the traffic of everyone leaving for 45 minutes. :(

Not Too Shabby For A Summer

We usually spend about 2 hours on Sat. or Sun. morning at SFGADV. If you open the park the lines are short for about 2 hours, as the park fills up we go home. With season passes and parking pass being 15 min away it is worth it to us.

Opening Day for the Lightning Racer last season at Hersheypark. I got there at 10 am when the park opened. Rode both tracks Thunder and Lightning twice (once in the front and once in the back,) The Wildcat, The Sidewinder, The Great Bear, Comet, and Wild Mouse(All in the front seat.) I left the park at about 11:30 am completely satisfied. 9 rides in an hour and a half is pretty good considering the crowds.

I was at sfgamer last summer and I only got to ride the bull once, and the american eagle once. It was the week before school started so the park was VERY busy that day. There was a two hr wait for shockwave, 1 1/2 for whizzer, 2 1/2 for iron wolf and 3 hrs for the bull and 2 hrs for batman. After me and a friend got off the eagle we went home. Good thing I only live 30-35 min away.

Does the parking lot count? I guess it is part of the park. Well if it is I would say about 5 minutes. My friend forgot his season pass and neither of us had any money, so we left out 7 bucks. :(

I walked over to Geuage Lake last year to see long lines, so I went to Subway with my friends across the street for lunch, and then we walked back home, and played some baseball. :)
