Go on a weekday rather than weekend. That way it is less crowded. We did encounter some day camps but they were leaving around 4:30pm 5pmish to go back so it was a bit better once they left but otherwise we didn't wait more than 30 minutes for most popular rides (ghostrider, sierra sidewinder) that sort of thing. Skipped Bigfoot Rapids since there was a line other than at the beginning of the morning and Perils Plunge i skipped on purpose. But other than that we rode almost all the coasters twice with the exception of Pony Express, Sierra Sidewinder, Jaguar and Silver Bullet. But Knott's is a place to just take in the atmosphere. We were lucky the day was humid and hot but without that breeze i would have died. If it had been any hotter out. Plus i found out they have the store next to Mystery Lodge has stuffed moose (a new passion or collection of mine) lol...
