I'll be honest, some of these recent reviews almos...

I'll be honest, some of these recent reviews almost prevented me from going. But I'm glad I didn't listen. My husband and I went today (August 18) and had the best time. We got there about 1PM, and the water area was pretty crowded, but we weren't there for that. The rides kept us busy until 6:30. Yes, some rides were closed all day, but that happens sometimes. I'd rather be safe than riding a ride that should be closed. There were also yellow jackets buzzing around, as some mentioned. But, there's lots of plants/flowers around the concession area and there's sugary drinks being sold. That's a recipe for bees! So, just be careful. The only gripe I have is that outside drinks aren't allowed (including water), but several stands and vending machines ran out of water by late afternoon. It wasn't extremely hot or busy, so I feel as though that shouldn't have happened. Other than that, the workers made us feel safe and welcome. Lines weren't long for us, but sometimes groups of only two get to jump ahead in line if there's a family wanting to go together. Worth the money in my opinion. (Also, I have no idea why people are complaining about long lines...if it gets busy, you're going to have to wait. What do people want? Shorter rides?)
