04 · The parks

What each one is.

Legoland New York

LEGOLAND New York is the newest LEGOLAND resort, opening in Goshen, New York in 2021, about an hour north of New York City. The park covers 150 acres and groups rides into seven themed lands including LEGO Castle, LEGO City, and Pirates. Rides include The Dragon, LEGO Factory Adventure Ride, and a full MINILAND featuring New York landmarks.

As one of the newer parks, LEGOLAND New York hasn't built up the same year-round attendance as Florida or California, so weekday visits stay pleasantly quiet. The summer and fall weekends draw busier crowds from NYC and New Jersey day-trippers. Check live wait times on arrival and use the crowd calendar to avoid peak holiday weekends.

Six Flags New England

Six Flags New England sits in Agawam, Massachusetts, near the Connecticut state line. The coaster line-up includes Superman: The Ride (consistently rated one of the world's best steel coasters), Wicked Cyclone (a Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid), Goliath inverted coaster, Flashback, Joker 4D Free Fly Coaster, and the classic Thunderbolt. A Hurricane Harbor water park is included with admission.

Massachusetts and Connecticut school holidays, Fright Fest and US summer weekends drive Six Flags New England's peak crowds. Weekdays in May, September and October stay dramatically calmer. Check live wait times for Superman and Wicked Cyclone on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a midweek date - queue times on most rides drop into single digits on quieter days.
