It was really clean and friendly on the boardwalk and into the pier. Staff across the board were helpful and had a friendly expression, even the younger part timers were into what they were doing which enhances the experience for us.
Everything was fun, clean, and felt well built / secure.

They have really good deals and specials if you go at the right times. Check online for those.

Buying tickets? Just get the pass. You run out of tickets and surpass the dollar amount of the pass very quickly. May as well enjoy yourself without counting and limiting for the same amount of money
