Where to begin. Let's start with $30 per person to get in (discounted tickets through work) , wait in a line of cars to get in the parking lot and pay $14 to park, wait in line to get in the park then pay $10 for a locker. 30 mins after opening, all chairs are taken so set up shop on cement in any piece of shade you can find.
Then, wait in line 30+ minutes to slide. Are you starting to see a theme here? Then wait in line to get into the lazy river. Once you get in, you better stay there because the line only gets longer the later it gets. The lazy river was by far the best part of the visit. After 3 + hours of waiting and visiting only 3 attractions (this includes the 10 minutes spent in the "wave" Pool that had massive 12 inch waves), you've worked up and appetite and you need water. Guess what, time to wait! Wait in multiple food lines for 20 + minutes to pay over $70 for fries, corn dog, pretzel dogs, drinks and 1 elephant ear for 4 people. You can't bring in your own food or water. Food, I get it. You're trying to make your profits. But water? All the water barrels were empty so you have to wait in the food lines to get something to drink. Ridiculous! Of course, you could always try your luck with an Icee (no wait here!). If you can out maneuver the swarm of bees hanging around the nozzles and not get stung before you fill your cup with the $5.99 frozen treat, you have your self a win!! The amusement park side was ok. Less crowded but somehow the kids still had to wait in line for an hour to ride a roller coaster. Not enough seating or shade. Basically, the park does not seem equipped to accommodate the large crowds it draws. All in all, not a pleasant experience and certainly not worth the $200+ it cost for the day. Highly unlikely we will be back.
