I also suggest going to DQ at opening. After a few hours we found the place got really busy. I don't suggest trying DQ on a rainy day. From what I have read too many people try this and it gets really jammed. First thing in the morning there is almost no waiting for anything. My DS (now 15) and I enjoyed DQ last June.....although I must admit the virtual reality water ride we took really wore me down with all the rowing!!!!
