Insider Tips
Arrive early on weekdays; by mid-day lines can grow significantly on popular slides
Rent a locker online in advance or bring a padlock (cash needed for rental): lockers fill up quickly
Bring water-friendly shoes — the ground can heat up, and slides are smoother with bare feet
Use the backside entrances to avoid the main queue at lunch (talk to staff for tips)
