[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again here.  Thanks everyone for all the helpful tips etc.  I am going to do something for his bday but I think I am going to make this into our new prize for good behavior  all week (maybe do a chart and if he is safe all week etc. he gets a Sunday waterpark trip).  He is very difficult to motivate and struggles a lot with impulses.  I might even give the sitter some type of system to use separately.

I looked up accessibility at Six Flags and they have a pass too - just an FYI for everyone else!  You don't obtain the ability to jump the line but you obtain a time and can wait elsewhere - is that how they all work?

He is super tall for his age - 53 inches.

I want to do Hershey or another roadtrip but I cant do it for a few weeks due to other commitments.

We live in NW DC so the VA waterpikes are a bit of a hike, but definitely do-able.

Question - What is the lightest time of day at the VA waterparks?  Is if first thing, lunchtime or some other time?

Should I get him aquasocks - are the stairs slippery?  He is a bit clumsy - low tone, hypermobility, dyspraxia, balance not great, not great vestibular sensation (or however one refers to it)[/quote]

Remember some water parks target market are high school and young adults. You get a totally different vide there- group of kids cutting line, groups of girl and boys trying to meet up, people getting a little wild etc. nothing wrong with it but if you are not in that target group it can be a hassle.
