Jerrad Moon Review of Wild Waves Theme Park

Wild Waves "Fright Fest" was the worst Halloween experience I've ever had. It was $33.50 for a ticket inside and $15 to park, so for just me it was essentially 50 dollars to enter. Together my group collectively spent almost $190 just to enter the park. We went to fright fest hoping for an actual scare. Instead we spent from 8pm until 10:30 in a single line for a 3 minute "haunted playground" which basically consisted of a bunch of people dressed as clowns and covered in blacklight paint, looking at us with expressions like they had to go poop or something. We got to experience one other line, for the roller coaster across from the haunted playground. We spent 30 minutes in that line for what was 45 seconds of roller coaster. I think you can sense my excitement. So... From 7:30pm when we arrived, to just before 11 when we left, we spent over 3 hours in line, 10 minutes walking in and out, and 6 minutes actually having fun. Very "Wild" indeed.
Wild Waves - you need to allow more people through per attraction, have more attractions, AND have those attractions actually be scary. Also, For a nearly 200 dollar outing, you need to inform people that the lines are a quarter mile long at the ticket selling booth, so we customers can make an informed decision about purchasing a ticket. and that if you actually want to go in a haunted house, you will either be waiting for hours, or shelling out more money for the "vip pass" - to which I heard one of your employees dressed up as a clown outside say to some people casually passing us in vip "welcome back" - so they had been through once already. It is called Fright Fest, and the only thing I was actually afraid to do is stand in a nearly 3 hour line. I expected much better. Step it up next year.
