So I want to love this place but I can't. The first, and older, of the two parks is the bigger of the two and you could easily spend all day doing everything once the lines pick up. You have to lug your tube around everywhere which is kind of a pain but not the worst. The tubes for adults don't have handles like the kids tubes do which would be awesome as some of the courses are a little turbulent. Three ticket prices were pretty good and we got the all day cups for drink so we saved a lot in my opinion with that. When it's hot you'll be drinking quite a bit and that adds up. Food is cheaper than Disney but still slightly more expensive than you'd like. Plus is you can bring your coolers with food if you want. The second park is more modern but is smaller as far as different courses to take but is the one we preferred. The not so lazy River was a blast and the other one that takes you around the entire property was fun. The waterslides, while REALLY long in line were fun. Overall this isn't your typical water park and that's good and bad.

On to the bad. From what I understand the park is fed by the neighboring spring or river. Well apparently due to the low rain in this area for some time in my opinion there is isn't enough water flowing on a lot of the courses at the first park. You'd constantly get hung up and have to really try to go along smoothly. I'm not light but not huge and my wife is 100 pounds lighter than me and she had the same problem. Just never felt like enough water to do the job. I scraped butt constantly. The whole deal just took so much away from the fun.

So in summary the place has so much potential but not enough water at the main park. The other park is really fun but small. We'd go again but only in passing on our way somewhere else. We wouldn't go just to visit the water park again.
