[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please no commentary on how you would never ever.  I don’t really love amusement parks but promised my kids we would go this coming week.

Can anyone knowledgeable give pros and cons of each?  This is for a 9 year old and 12 year old.  [/quote]
If you are only doing 1 park this summer and plan on making a full day of it, I would do Kings Dominion. Overall it's bigger and has more rides.

However, for next year, consider getting a season pass to Six Flags in the spring when they are on sale. It's stupid cheap (~$75 per person). I started doing this when my kids were a little older and wished I had figured that out sooner. We invite friends and I get them lunch before we go and they eat in the car on the way. Plan to arrive 1/2 hour before the park opens on weekdays - parking is easy, sort yourself out at the car (sunscreen etc.) and be ready when they open the gate.  We all head to the water park and I stake out my spot for the next few hours and the kids drop their bags (I like the wave pool and lazy river and reading a book.) Then the kids either go to the rides in the main park or stay in the waterpark. We will spend 4-5 hrs, and they are ready to go by 4pm. During the weekdays this summer there really haven't been crowds - longest lines reported were 15 min. What is nice about the season pass is that they get to know the park, know favorite rides to take a new friend on, but don't feel like they have to exhaust themselves and stay until the park closes. We go 3 or 4 times each summer, plus there are special things in the fall or holidays if we wanted to try out.[/quote]
This is good advice about Six Flags. I'm pretty sure you can still leave the park, go to your car, and sit and have a lunch there(cooler that you bring in the car), then go back in.[/quote]
