  • Please refer to Idlewild's policy on their website in the event of inclement weather:


"We do not issue rain checks or refunds simply because it rains during your visit and you want to leave the park, so please be aware of weather forecasts. Keep in mind that an overcast day often means shorter lines and just as many thrills! Most rides and attractions continue to operate in light rain. In the event of heavy downpours or an electrical storm, many rides and attractions will close until the storm has passed and then reopen. Our Great Day Guarantee provides a Return Visit Ticket when the park announces closing at least one hour prior to scheduled close due to weather or other circumstances. Return Visit Tickets are only issued to those with a valid wristband, and to receive this ticket, guests must present their valid wristband at Guest Services prior to leaving the park. (Season Passholders and free buddies are not eligible for free return visit tickets)."
