I had a great time tubing at Mount Kato with my family today, however if the lack of attention by the employees at the tubing hill there continues someone will be seriously injured before the end of the season.
First off, way too many tickets were sold for the two hour session, resulting in 10-15 minute waits to go back up each time
The attendants on the lift were not helpful. There were sometimes huge gaps because a kid was waiting for an ok from the attendant that never came. However they were quick to bark if people were too close. My nephew almost fell because an attendant told him to wait as he was stepping on. If they would just be more interactive with the paying customers this wouldn't happen.
The end of the lanes is just flat out dangerous and don't have any employees watching it like it needs to be. People are crossing the lanes after coming to a stop, when the lanes they are crossing are faster and tubes are flying through them. The employees were oblivious to this. When an employee was stationed at the bottom, this was all happening behind them. We saw a kid get bowled over, lying on the ground motionless for a few seconds before getting up slowly and being helped off by his mom. Not one employee noticed this.
I would love to go back and give a better review, but as long as the lack of attention by the employees leads to serious safety issues, I can't give any higher than a one star review. Just beware and pay attention to your surroundings if you go!
