Here's a tip. GO EARLY. If you go when it first opens, you will be able to ride a few rides without much of a wait. You will also be able to reserve a lounge chair at Ocean's of Fun. By reserve, I mean put your towel or items on one to save it. Go early to Ocean's of Fun so that you can ride the tube slides next to the wave pool for an hour without a wait. Go to these first if you want to ride them. If you wait until 1 PM, on an average day, you will have an hour wait for the huge water slides. Go early to Worlds of Fun so that you can ride your favorite rides without much of a wait. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL 1 PM TO GO TO THESE PARKS. ALSO, if you do not have a season pass and you are from out of town or from in town for that matter, call up the park's main number and ask them if they have any large groups attending the park that day. We went on a Friday during May and there were tons of band and choir groups at the park. The lines were so long that we only went on 4 rides in 4 1/2 hours. We were exhausted from waiting in lines so long and it was so crowded, that we went home. They sent me a survey and I gave them zero stars and told them they should have an attendance meter on their website to show how many people have purchased tickets for that day / how crowded the park is. I never heard back from anyone. I was so angry. So listen, they don't care if it rains or thunders and you can't go on any rides. They don't care if the park is so crowded that you can't move and have to wait in hour or longer waits. SO CALL AHEAD AND ASK AND GO EARLY AND THEN YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. And here's another tip. Bring nothing valuable to the water park. Keep cash and/or credit cards in your pocket. Don't bring your phone if you care if you lose it unless you put it in a locker or a waterproof case or unless someone will be watching it for you.
