Went on a Sunday night in March and gave it a 3/5. Here are the details...
Parking: Abundant and free, no issues.
Box Office: Super nice and quick. No line to get my preordered tickets. Walked up and told them my name and boom.
Decor: Whole place is dated and needs to be refreshed from the late 80s. They're making bank here and should reinvest some of the liquid equity into bringing this place into the 21st century.
Drinks: No alcohol. Wasn't expecting that. Was disappointed. Prices were as expected and the drink wasn't very good. $4 for a slushy. Place needs alcohol.
Food: Pretty good, but the pork was super dry. Plenty of food to fill me up, but maybe not the best food for the price. You don't get your money's worth when it comes to the food.
Show: Felt forced, but was still entertaining. The lines were somewhat predictable despite never having been there before. Forced participation was a little over the top, but not too bad. Animals were handled a little rough in some instances, but I don't think PETA is going to be beating down the door or anything. We did get to see a random dove go rogue and fly over our heads into the front of one of the seating areas above us. Felt a little weird that there were birds flying over the area we were going to eat from. Fairly gross in that respect.
Definitely kid friendly. Definitely a little too kid friendly for adults without kids. Entertaining and there are worse ways to blow $120. Also felt like they were trying to take my money from me at all times. Wanted to sell me pre-show drinks and snacks, a $35 photo that had already been printed, a flag so I could root for the north and then the place makes you exit through the overcrowded gift shop with hundreds of your newest and closest friends.
