Do you enjoy the pain of cutting your feet on unmaintained streets? How about the stench of piss that not even eye burning amounts of chlorine can mask? No? What about incompetent lazy staff? How do you feel about hornets? Do you like a plague of them swarming around heaps of garbage? If, on the off chance you do love these things then more power to you. If not, don t waste your time or money.

I ll keep this as condensed as possible, I don t want this review to be a three part saga but this place is disgusting in every sense of the word.

You pay around $40 in the summer season if you don t have any random discounts, which they may or may not honor as was the case with my friend who went with me. I found out 40 bucks doesn t get you much here. Apparently despite coming in mid-August, well before the school season started, a third of the rides were closed. When we asked why they were closed they said most of the staff leaves weeks before the seasons over to go back to school, in mid-august.

The pavement at the park might as well have been razor blades, it was physically painful to walk on. So painful to walk on that there was the constant noise of children screaming about how badly it hurt their feet. When kids weren t screaming about their feet being ripped apart they were screaming about the swarm of hornets that ruled the entire entrance and food areas of the park. I m not over exaggerating either, everything was coated in hornets. When ordering a drink from one of the food stands there was hornets crawling all over the fountain drinks, counters, cups, workers, ect. I even asked the girl behind the counter how she deals with all the hornets, to which she laughed and said you get used to it, kind of.

I was constantly amazed at how the staff would do nothing when people were putting others in danger. For example, while waiting in line for one of the water slides, two young boys started wrestling on the stairs that were at least 2 stories tall. They also did nothing when a couple started kicking my friend s inner tube around in the lazy river. They were also absent when small children were climbing up a broken metal ladder, complete with dangerous spikes, only ripped up caution tape warning them away from it.

There were 7 life guards at the activity pool 3 of which were doing nothing, actually nothing. At one point my boyfriend and I lost our glasses in the pool. I told one of the lifeguards about they told me they d get them when the park was closed but I had to go to customer service and report it. I did that and the women there told me that they would call me the next day about them at 12pm, if they didn t call me I was to call them. Well they didn t call so I phoned them only to have the women tell me they didn t have time to look and they would call me at an undisclosed amount of time.

A week later I called again, and was told the same thing, they hadn t had time. After 10 days I emailed their customer service who eventually agreed to look for the missing glasses. 2 or so weeks after the visit to the park I finally got a call from someone saying they were just about to check the lost and found for my glasses and would be back to me later that day. Surprise surprise, they didn t find them despite me giving a detailed description of them, the exact location and time. I spent 2 weeks getting jerked around by Wild Waves support only to come out of this experience $80 poorer plus another $100 poorer now that my glasses are gone forever.

To be brash, screw this place. What a sad excuse for an amusement park.
