But yes, weekdays are much better to visit HP. Discount tickets can also be purchased at Giant grocery stores in Central PA at a great price, but until it gets closer to season opening, I can't say exactly how much. Last year they were very close to $35 for adult tickets. Even if I can't make it, I would be more than happy to get tix for you and mail them OR give you directions to the Giant just a couple of miles away from HP.

Mine is even better...

I think this year it's $28 for an adult and reg price is $43-$45? But I have to have the order in by end of March, so unless you know your going, then yes Giant is still a cheaper deal.

Well since we go back to school before Labor Day I would need it to be prior to the 18th or the 21st Friday of that week. My kids start back the following Monday August 24th. If we decide no kids allowed I could meet up with a group somewhere like Gettysburg for the day on almost any Friday.

Doesn't matter to me whatever works best for the group involved.
I was just saying I have to order tickets by April, their good for any operating day in 2009 (except halloween and christmas).

I am definitely interested in ordering the tickets from you. That is a great deal. The next year 2010 I think I am going to get Season Passes.

Oooh...that's an awesome price! Yeah, it's at least $45 to get in the gates now. Plus parking (which I think is $10?)

I remember when I was little it was free to get in and you could take in a picnic - like Knoebel's - and you paid "by the ride." Oh, those were the days.

Ain't that the truth and hey Knoebels could ALWAYS be an option!!

You really can't get a BAD day there with crowds.

I don't remember what I had to pay last year, I ended up just buying one child's ticket at the gate.

Just looked up the info 28.50 for an adult and 24.00 for a child (ages 3-8).

That could be an option. It would be a 3 hour drive for us each way but that would still be doable. How would it work out versus Hersheypark for everyone else. For us Hersheypark is about 1 hr. 45 min.
