Review of Six Flags Waterworld

Kids will have a blast, parents will pay top dolla...

Kids will have a blast, parents will pay top dollar for it. 2019 UPDATE: This place is going downhill fast in my book. I had given them 4 stars, now 1 star. This will be my last year as a member, sadly. The attractions themselves are still a lot of fun, especially for kids, but the prices and park policies have become so overbearing that it's becoming too high a price for me to continue paying. I think Six Flags' management policies are killing it. For example, their monthly membership includes free parking and an "unlimited refill" cup. Without a membership they charge $25/day to park, but if you show up after 4:00, the parking booths will probably be empty so parking is free in their own lot for everyone in the late afternoon anyways. Oh yeah - and there was a shooting in their parking lot a couple of weeks ago... I have seen them charging for parking at an "overflow" lot on weekends that they don't own. You can literally drive into that other lot through a different entrance and park for free any day of the week. The "unlimited refill" cup that comes with membership they charge $20 for without membership and you can refill it unlimited times all season. Every time I've gone they have 1 drink dispenser that is operational, there are 2 or 3 others that are always closed. There are 2 drink machines at the one station that is open and usually only one has ice and sometimes neither one does. The drinks (sodas) are often out of syrup, meaning you're paying $20 for unlimited refills of lukewarm soda water. I've been to the park several times and this is the typical experience with their drink dispensers. They've also recently stopped using their fingerprint scanners at the entrances, now they want you to consent to teenage kids taking your picture and pictures of your underage kids with cellphones every time you go, even if you have your membership card. There is trash they ignore all over the place - I've seen the same beer can sitting at the top of one of their slides for months.
