Check the website to see what rides you would be interested in to see what park they're in. If planning only one day I recommend only one park ticket because it's way too hard to see everything in both parks in one day unless you just target the things you want to see and don't get sidetracked with everything else (nearly impossible). Also, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, when you know what day you plan on going, check with the park that there isn't a special event planned for that night. They will gladly take your money without saying anything and then kick you out of the park earlier than normal for the private event. It's not unheard of for them to get you out by 5:30pm when the park normally closes at 8 or 9 so beware.

The Halloween horror nights are definitely awesome. But what’s not awesome are the lines for the haunted houses even with a fast pass or whatever they call it for the Halloween horror nights. THEY ARE STILL LONG!!! But still, it is really cool how the park is changed at night. My girlfriend will not go again. I think she shit her pants at least 30 times the night we went. And that was from just walking the park, not the actual haunted houses (which there are several). If you like Halloween, you will love this!

I bet she had the time of her life also. That’s the best feeling for a parent any day of the week
