As I said in a previous post, my wife and I were roller coaster fanatics in the 1990s. At the time we thought about writing a book sharing what we knew. We thoroughly research how to get the best deals at that time. We paid a fraction of what others spent on similar getaways and had better experiences.
We basically did similar getaways over and over again until we found the best routines to follow to maximize our experiences for the least amount of money. For us it was the most fun to go at times when the parks had less people in them. Who wants to stand in line for hours in the middle of summer with a bunch of unruly people speaking foreign languages who are letting their friends cut in line in front of you.
