if you'd like to experience both parks and most of the popular rides in each park, I'd suggest you get a 2-day or a 3-day pass. But no need to add the park Harper option (more money, of course) - you won't have time to go to both park in one day. For a 2-day pass, go to one on one day and the other the second day.
