Review of Emerald Pointe Water Park

Fun rides and pools and some cool rides I've never...

Fun rides and pools and some cool rides I've never seen anywhere else. I really like the Cyclone Zone which is like a lazy river but fast, and the Runaway Rapids. HOWEVER some of the employees are awful. One lady (didn't catch her name but she was the lifeguard for the pool with the boat in the seat directly in front of the yellow slides August 3 around 4:45) obviously hated her job and/or kids because she wasn't polite at all and sounded really mean and grumpy the first time she told my friend she could only get on the boat from the back and I could understand that if it was the second or third offense but that's just not ok the first time so she is terrible at her job. At least pretend to like your job! Some of the other employees were great but some just seemed bored. The wave pool needs more waves. Also apparently you can't walk on the ledge thing in the wave pool, I got whistled at but that dumb rule isn't marked anywhere that I saw. The rides themselves are great though. Also the ice cream stand had maybe 1.5 star service, they took a long time and forgot about one of our bowls of ice cream and we had to correct them. They weren't the worst about it but they also weren't exactly super polite. The food was ok but not as good as you would expect based on the price. ~$30 for a mediocre pizza is insane. The cabana was really nice and it was cool to have our own space where my parents could sit while I go on rides with my sister. You should probably wear water shoes because the ground can get really hot. The bathrooms are unpleasant but better than some other amusement park bathrooms I've seen.
