Our party of five had a blast on the rides. The prices are breathtakingly high either in dollars or time, which is a serious gotcha. Don't come on a Saturday, especially in summer, work/travel schedule permitting.

Fast Passes for rides are evidently 50% off with military discount, but be prepared to pay $50-125 per civilian if you go that route, on top of the price of admission.

There is no "fast pass" for food and drink, and the heat this time of year means you're standing in the sun for an hour for a beer and some cheese fries - and you'll pay dearly. Service is extremely slow at most venues; apparently everyone on a register is underage and can't serve beer, so they'll run to the back for a manager. Vending machines charge $5/drink ($4.50/water).

Some features are an additional charge, with a minimum number of participants (depending on park attendance?), for instance Dive Bomber Alley.

That said, you will have a full day of fun here. I'd come back, but I'd be sure to check current prices, and I wouldn't return on a Saturday except under duress.
