I'm going to a theme park on a date with her before school starts, and she said her parents were going to be there (we are gonna split off from the parents). Any ideas on how I should prepare, and what I should do when I meet them? I heard first impressions make a hugggee impact.

Yes first impressions make a huge impact when meeting the parents. I would suggest that you make sure you look suitable, meaning no sagging pants or anything like that. Make sure you are respectful i.e yes sir no sir, yes ma'am, no ma'am. And talk to them in a respectful manner, not like you would talk to a friend. This doesn't mean you can't more or less be yourself but that you simply have to enhance it for the sake of the parents. Oh and I almost forgot, for the most part try to be completely honest if at all possible. There is nothing worse than being caught in a lie by the parents because then they will think that you are not good enough for their daughter.

Be the polite version of yourself. Parents like a little respect. Treat them as important people, they will appreciate it. If they have some special quirks, ask your girl about it. She has a good idea what her folks are like, I am sure. Good Luck.

Be yourself and everything will come naturally. Might help to talk to your girlfriend and find out some of the stuff her parents like so that conversation will flow.

Be yourself and don't talk too much. The less they know about you the better for the both of you. Don't forget you will always be compared to her parents favorites.

Be polite, be respectful (of them and their daughter) and be yourself. And don't forget to relax and have fun.
