Let me state I do love Valleyfair. I have been going for years with my siblings. That being said, if this year had been my first year, we would never go back. This review is from a visit 2 weeks ago.
It took over an hour just to get into the park due to the changes in screening of bags and metal detectors. There was no rhyme or reason to lines or waiting. No signs high enough on the poles for anyone to prepare for phones out, bags open, etc. Only 5 stations and over 13 buses of school kids.
In the park: 30+ mins for every ride, understandable, but line cutting, holding places for other kids, as in 6 more kids, and no direction half the time when you do get up to the front. At least 4 rides were closed.
It took way too long to order a cheese pizza that didn't even have cheese on it. Anyway, very disappointed in our experience this year. Glad I didn't get the gold pass this year.
