Let's start off by saying my family loves Emerald ...

Let's start off by saying my family loves Emerald Pointe. We take my son there often and we have an amazing time. Rides are fun, plenty of seating, crowds aren't obnoxious. I don't agree with the height requirements for some of the rides but I get the safety issue. My 6 year old is an excellent swimmer and is capable of going on most of the rides. I understand that the height requirements are generalized so we follow the rules. HOWEVER, this last time my family went...WE HAD SERIOUS ISSUES WITH (lifeguard) ALISSA!!!! We watched her let children go down rides who were definitely under the height requirements. She didn't even try to check height and it made us (especially my son) very unhappy. We let it go but then when I went down a ride later in the day, and she was there. I had a tight tank over my suit to cover what the good Lord gave me, but when I lined up to go down the ride she told me I had to take it off. I was very uncomfortable with that and tried to understand why I had to take it off. I ultimately decided I was too uncomfortable with it and left. No big deal...THEN my husband tells me that Alissa let a woman down the ride who was wearing a shirt way too big and another woman who was wearing a bathing suit cover! I did not appreciate the inconsistency and I felt singled out...that may not have been her intention but I was embarrassed the rest of the day. We will come back to Emerald Pointe but if I see Alissa...I'll be turning the other way.
