Ticket FAQ

What is an Unlimited Ride Wristband?
It lets one person ride every carnival ride, as much as they want, for one full day. Wristbands are not valid for midway games.
What does WoW Xpress add?
WoW Xpress is the front-of-line upgrade: you wait in a separate, shorter line at each ride to cut your wait time.
Do wristbands work for games?
No. Wristbands cover rides only; they are not valid for midway games.
Is it cheaper to buy online?
Yes. Adult admission is $17 online and $19 at the gate; Youth and Senior admission is $12 online and $14 at the gate.
