If you go on a weekday, the lines will be almost non-existent, especially if it's overcast and bad weather is in the forecast. Before you do anything, GET A PARK MAP. The park has a lot of dead ends, hidden rides, and places where a path across would logically make sense, but doesn't exist. The only roller coasters worth taking note of are Renegade, Steel Venom, and of course Wild Thing. The other coasters are not very unique, but still fun to ride. They do have lots of kiddie rides, almost all of which are relegated to the Planet Snoopy area near High Roller. Before going on Thunder Canyon or The Wave, make sure there's someone off-ride to hold everyone's electronics, because you WILL get soaked!

In regards to other entertainment, there is karaoke, games of chance, an arcade, and Peanuts-themed shows for the kiddos, as well as the Dinosaurs Alive exhibit. I would recommend eating before coming to the park, since the majority of the food options are greasy, overpriced snacks that are typical of so many chain theme parks.

Finally, the staff were, for the most part, friendly and enthusiastic. A few seemed robotic, but none came across as rude. A lot of them were sitting around conversing with each other, but I didn't blame them given how quiet the park was the day we went.

If you have younger children, I would recommend Nickelodeon Universe. If you're a hot-blooded adrenaline junkie, go to Six Flags Great America. If you're just a normal family looking for a way to spend a summer day in the Twin Cities area, go to Valleyfair!
