My husband and I decided to be kids again and go to an amusement park. What a mistake! It cost us over 100 dollars to enter and park. It cost 12.00 for double cheese burger and fries. It cost us 16.00 for a refillable drink cup. The lines for rides, every ride, was over a hour wait. We rode 4... More

Park is really nice, but the lines for the rides were loooonnnnggg! We didn't realize that it was Junior High band day - we thought a Saturday in early May would be less crowded. We ended up having to purchase the Fast Lane pass for an extra $115 or we wouldn't have gotten to go on many rides. The rides... More

We've been here 3 times in the past two years. The best time to go is with an hour or two left before it closes. There are no lines to wait in and you can literally get off the ride or not and go again over and over. Great place for family fun.

We got there when it opened on a week day. We stood in line all day except to eat lunch and walk between rides and only got to go on six rides. We left 20 minutes before close. One ride we waited over an hour, got to within 5 minutes of the front and the ride broke down. NO fast... More

Had a briliant day out. The water rides were a must in the baking heat. Loved every minute of it.

I remember going to park when I was a kid in the late 70s and the awesome feel it had. Now it is a corporate destination with Batman, Superman and other superheroes dominating. It is overcrowded and the lines are horrible. The heat is terrible and you can't really enjoy yourself with people bumping into you and cutting in line.... More
