I just checked and the Aquatica site says everyday in one place, and Sat/Sun only in another.....
"Buy Aquatica tickets online or in advance and enjoy an "Hour-Early Exclusive" on Saturdays and Sundays now through the end of summer"
and
"Purchase tickets in advance to receive early access to Aquatica starting at 8:00 am or come late and play late."
We went last Monday, got there at 8:15 and walked right in. So 'early' was in operation. I went that early because of weekend experience and it seemed like it was wasted effort. I'm not sure but because of the lack of a line of 'pre-pay' waiting, they even appeared to be selling regular admissions. Therer were a few folks at the windows and the windows were open....
The park still closed at some time (the lot was closed when we left around 3) but not as crazy at opening as a weekend.....
So if ya wanna be there at dawn you can...but maybe not as necessary as a weekend.
