"Bad experience"

We were excited to spend the day at your park, but our experience fell far below expectations. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that maintenance and customer service were lacking. Major Issues We Encountered: 1. Restrooms were dirty and poorly stocked – Out of soap, paper towels, and toilet paper. 2. No staff supervision – Guests were taking extra free tubes and re-riding without consequence, causing long delays. 3. Ant infestations – Lounge chairs and seating areas had ants crawling everywhere. 4. Extremely slow drink service – The drink hut had only one worker, who left without notice, returned with just one water bottle for a long line of guests, and took 35 minutes to serve us (we were 5th in line). 5. Trash everywhere – Litter was scattered across the park, both indoors and out. Compared to other water parks like Great Wolf Lodge, Kalahari, Hurricane Harbor, and Okana, this was by far the worst experience we’ve had. The lack of cleanliness, structure, organization, and basic amenities made the trip frustrating rather than fun. We will not be returning and cannot recommend this park.

The kids enjoyed the rides. They had a lot of fun seeing Lola the Doll. The food prices are ridiculous but other than that it’s a good place to take kiddos.

"Disappointing visit other than the Night Ranger concert"

This place is pretty disappointing. First off, we had a coupon for $10 off. They would not honor the coupon on the senior rate. They said we were already getting a $10 discount. Wrong! We paid the regular senior price + nowhere on the coupon did it say it was only valid on a regular adult ticket. How do they, in good conscience, charge full price when half the attractions are closed...or maybe not. At least one attraction was listed as closed, but was actually open. As others have mentioned, the lazy river being closed is absolutely ridiculous. I was in line for two different water slides, when right when I got to the top of the tower, they shut the slides with no explanation. I think it was because the person working at the bottom, shift was over and they just left. Signage is awful. Not enough directional signs to let you know where anything is. Finally, this place is the worst as far as ride loading speed. It took a crazy amount of time to get the next group onto whatever ride. If you're only going to run one train at a time (ex: Big, Bad John), at least get people on and off the ride quickly. My guess is that most, if not all, of these issues are the result of the park not being willing to hire enough staff to keep everything running smoothly. Night Ranger was excellent as always.
