Where else can you wait in line for 15 minutes for a two-minute ride and then run back and do it again, and again, and again, until you're sick? Depending on your thirst for thrills, you can take on the park's tallest and fastest, the Raging Bull, or ride through the sky on the Superman Ultimate Flight, or ride the world's first outside-looping coaster, Batman the Ride. Or, if you're old fashioned, you can just stick to park standbys like the Demon or the American Eagle.

On a scorching hot day you might opt to get soaked at Splashwater Falls, or you can take a trip to the Whizzer (don't let the name mislead you; it's not for that kind of relief). There are rides for shorties, too; just head over to Looney National Park and ride in Scobby-Doo's Mystery Machine or Yogi Bear's Yahoo River.

You can't bring in outside food and the fare served in the park is mediocre, overpriced junk food, but consider it all a part of the complete amusement park package and enjoy yourself. General admission is $54.99, but there are plenty of online specials, coupons and deals for the under-54-inchers.
