    Knott’s is the best theme park for short lines! Go in the off-season and it’s empty on weekdays. It can get crowded in the summer, but it’s still not too bad!

    If the forecast is yup its packed or higher, arrive at the gate 15 minutes before opening then head STRAIGHT TO THE BACK! (boardwalk, pony express, possibly Jaguar) Should be clear for about an hour back there. Then, is there is a nighttime show on the outdoor stage, THEN head to the front!
