> I’m not sure I understand why everybody feels they have to go to amusement parks on weekends and holidays. Granted, of course there’ll be situations when that is the only way, but I’m under the impression that most people who can afford to go at all are going to be in some sort of employment situation where they can adopt the revolutionary strategy of _going on a weekday_. In other words, plan a month or so in advance, ask for the day off, and go to Six Flags then. We went to Disneyland a couple of summers ago, while I was on a vacation from work. We went on a Monday, and never had to wait more than 20 minutes to get on a ride.

I’m sure that works at some parks, sometimes, but not at all of them all of the time. I’ve taken plenty of vacations to theme parks, Mon- Fri in the summer and still had to wait on long lines.
