Memorial Day- not enough staff for food service as it is a 45 minute wait. Also half the water/soda machines had no ice. Lots of customers not happy receiving warm beverages. In two instances a customer and then me informed food employees about the ice situation which we then got yelled at by the staff. I know the workers are under stress conditions during this time, but we only wanted to give them the heads up before others came up to them. Fast forward 2 hours later ice issue was not resolved, and food service was still bad. If this place had NPS it would not look well. The children's area near the middle of the park is very bleak to see. The weathered paint is either chipping or falling apart. As for the other rides, it seems goliath and the joker ride suffer mechanical problems on a weekly basis.
During the summer early fall the park is plagued by bees and wasps. I've seen first hand them stinging ride and food staff and both said they just have to deal with it to keep employed. Also if you are allergic or have little children these would be the times to avoid the park. The bees swarm the rides, and all the soda fountains. You can literally see them crawling all over them.
For a well known theme park it clearly shows they are not there for the attendees, but to just take and exploit their money.
