Thanks for the replies everyone! I must have been misinformed about the location of the Baymont Inn. Oh well! I'm sure we will get there early as advised to check out the square and possibly breakfast. I will starve myself for dozens of cinnamon bread!

I'll probably end up buying the Trailblazer pass on either Saturday or Sunday, just so I can guarantee 8 rides on Outlaw Run. (You could guess where my priorities are ;) )But of course I'm going to check out Marvel Cave and the other attractions the park has to offer. Very excited about Powder Keg as I've never been on a S&S launch coaster.

Appreciate the advice on food/restaurants outside of the park as well! No worries about the bars then..I'll just come prepared with a bottle of Bulleit Bourbon ;) #hotelparty

It's going to be a HOT weekend! Ready to do lots of walking and sweat. I'm assuming the park will be running all trains to maximize capacity. Hopefully most of the crowds will be there for the Southern Gospel shows...or go to WhiteWater.

Hey everyone! Long time theme park forum poster/coaster lover here. Haven't had the need to post here until now!

Very excited to make a trip to a theme park I've never been to before and visit a part of the country I've never set foot in. Driving in from Chicago, making a stop in St. Louis for the City Museum and BBQ on Friday before getting into the Baymont Inn around 11PM Fri Night.

Visiting Labor Day weekend (Sat and Sun). Anyone been in the past? What were the queue times like? The group is for sure getting to the park the minute it opens both days.

How about restaurants/bars in the area outside of the park? I believe I'm staying at a hotel right across the street (Baymont Inn), as we got tickets/hotel in a package deal from Branson.com. I've been to Dollywood before so I know that taking the time to slow down and enjoy the scenery/arts and crafts is a must at the park. But I'm also looking to spend some time at local food spots/bars after the park closes. This is vacation baby!

If it's too crowded, honestly I'll buy their version of the fastpass. Seems like a good deal. But yeah, looking for any other tips - especially things to do outside of the park as far as bars and restaurants go since the park closes somewhat early.

Any tips on which rides to visit first, where to sit, and any tricks or tips for the park would be appreciated. I'm not the biggest fan of shows, but the Saloon show seemed really cool! Any others that are highly recommended?

Anyone else visiting the park this weekend?

Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks everyone!
