On a 5 star scale rating based on cleanliness, value, rides, service, and food.
Cleanliness (1 star) - The park is very clean, there is no trash lying around, and the bins were being emptied regularly. The bathrooms are very clean for a theme park.
Value (0.5 star) - With a fairly middle of the road park fee of around $50 you get a good selection of rides both on the Silverwood side and the Boulder Beach side.
Rides (0.5 stars) - There is a large selection of rides, however many are what I would consider "medium" intensity. The parks self proclaimed "marquee" ride Timber Terror is decent, but I think that the other wooden coaster Tremor is actually a better ride all around. Outside of those two rides, the only other medium to high intensity ride is the ported Deja Vu, now called Aftershock. The rest of the Silverwood side is mostly pretty tame family rides. The Boulder Beach side is very similar. Containing the flagship 6 wide racing slides, and the 3 side by side "drop slides." Outside of those, the water park seems to be a bit lacking. Many of the tube based slides are fairly mundane and don't do much to draw many park goers. Overall there is a lot to do, it's just not always the most memorable.
Service (1 star) - From the ticket counter, to the ride operators the staff here at the park are top notch. Very respectful and willing to answer any questions you may have.
Food (0 stars) - Didn't eat much at the park but from what I had, I am glad I saved my money. I would've been way more interested in the bar attached to the lazy river had the line not always been 20 people deep. There didn't seem to be near enough staff there to meet the demand. I did elect to eat at the Mexican restaurant not too far away though. This was an unfortunate mistake on my part. The "Mexican nuggets" were frozen tater tots that had been stripped of all flavor and barely cooked. The burritos consisted of shredded cheese, Darma initiative refried beans, and rice that seem to have been cooked and then sat out for days as it was more dry than the Sahara desert.
