Spring
Spring is the second best time to go as the temperatures are lower than the summer ones, and the summer crowd has yet to arrive.
However, you'll want to make sure that you pack a poncho as it tends to rain a lot more during the spring.
Another thing that you'll want to watch out for is the 'Spring Breakers'!
Make sure that you're up to date on when school is out for Spring Break so that you're able to avoid the long lines that the spring break crowd tends to bring.

87 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fall
Fall is a unique time to visit as there is a good chance that you'll experience halloween-themed events.
Around October, the park will prepare trick or treating opportunities for little kids, scarier versions of rides for teenagers and adults, and have halloween themed shows as well.
Winter
Although Winter is last on the list, it is still a great time to go as temperatures will be cooler which allows for a longer time visiting the park.
This will also be during the holiday season, where the park will be decorated with bright lights and they'll have special holiday themed-shows for Christmas and the New Year as well.
The one thing to watch out for are black out dates and shorter operating hours.
A Tip Regardless of the Season
Go during the weekday!
The weekends are generally when most visitors are off of work and also happen to plan vacations around it.
By visiting on the weekday not only will you experience less crowds, but you can also go and visit your favorite rides and shows quicker.
Less waiting, more fun.
