I wanted to be excited for this place but in the 7 hours we were here we didn't even get to all of the main rides. This was mostly due to the atrocious lines and incredibly slow ride managers. Seriously an hour and a half wait for twisted timbers, all day long. Even a gentler ride like the Wind Seeker I timed the employees from the time the riders were allowed to get on to the time the ride started. It took on average 6-7 minutes for a 2 minute ride, to do safety checks and they didn't even check every seat. Just lazily strolled around occasionally pop up someone's restraint then walk away only to come back and push it down for seemingly no reason. They also made me move seats away from my wife so they could put some other fat lady in my seat because apparently they are larger. I don't know, they wouldn't tell me why I was moving. Food is overpriced and lackluster as any theme park. Then they have some rides that if you have any loose items or backpacks, which if you're spending the day here you will have. you have to PAY extra for a locker for each ride or you can't go on them. Why can't I just set my items up by the platform like every other ride at every other theme park? They have that for the wooden coasters here but for the premium rides it's a joke. It's all about the money, and the $70 ticket cost you're better off going to Six Flags in Maryland. If you have to go here though the Dominator and Intimidator are good rides. I've never left a theme park feeling unsatisfied until I came here.
