The park has promise, it is just unfortunate that the operator does not seem to care about the experience the guests will have.

First, on a popular summer Saturday, with a nationally recognized band scheduled to perform, there was only two security posts checking bags, though the facility is designed to have as many as five.

Concessions require tickets, which is a nuisance itself, but to make matters worse, there is only one booth operating to get tickets and the wait was 10 minutes minimum, and no where near shade. Also, you have no idea of item pricing, so you won't know how many tickets to purchase. Probably a scheme to encourage more tickets purchased, since you won't want to wait in the long line again. Scam.

The concession prices were what you would expect, so no complaints there.
The snocones are coarsely ground and leave quite a bit to be desired, however the smoothies and frozen lemonade are a hit.

Some reviews complain about prices, but the since this is the only show in town, why wouldn't they price it at 40 bucks. Big Kahana is priced the same, and while it is a better Park, it is also 5 hours away. So I figure the entry fee is fair.

It is obvious that they are more concerned with squeezing every penny of profit, instead of focusing on providing the best experience for customers.
