Review of Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom

I know everyone is going to have different experie...

I know everyone is going to have different experiences. This was our first visit so just my general opinion and review that maybe helps anyone. My husband and I went for our anniversary trip getaway. We did the two day pass and hotel bundle which is definitely the way to go! If your going back just twice in one season, get a season pass to save! Parking is $8 a day. So the drink stations with free wrist bands is awesome and are well placed throughout. The water park, Hurricane Bay is literally in the middle mixed with the amusement park which I thought was really cool. Lockers like 10$ and mostly clean facilities I found. There is plenty of information on ride weight, height, other restrictions on and attractions. He knew going in that he's a large man, 6'6 xxl so of course the were two coasters he couldn't ride, swings, Etc. If your bigger person, pay attention to the info. But it was really cool that there were "tester" seats before you even get in line. There are so many attractions and things to do for all ages though. We had a blast! Friday was barely any wait in lines and Saturday was a little more crowded but still great. I did see there were maintenance issues on two rides, but they were up and running afterwards. The food is standard pricing and lots of options there. My main concern and lack of the 5th star was the employees in general. I know mainly high school/ college is the primary age group. The ride operators were all wonderful and pleasant! But there was a distinct difference between them and basically everyone else. Except the guy in beer garden who was informed and nice. The food service, drink stations, basically everyone else we encountered there were practically rude. I get it. It's hot, well, whatever but the lack of the training or any hospitality was a little ridiculous. I hope that is one thing that gets improved with the park. I do plan to go back and take the whole family next trip.
