My kids enjoyed it super convenient inside the mall but it’s overpriced for the amount of rides there the water was freezing for winter time weather so we hide most of the time in the hot tub. But I will try during the summer and see if the experience is different.

"Bad management, no chain of accountability"

Bought a 18 point pass. Used it once for a 3 pt ride then went to eat. When I return I was not able to use the remaining points! Went to rider operator, they told us to go to the manager above. We went and they send us back to the operator. Just keep pushing us to someone else. No chain of responsibility at all! Just pushing people away. I just forgo of the points in frustration since it expires the same day. What a bad experience. Management needs to seriously improve customer service.

"Most dysfunctional amusement park I’ve been to"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed November 28, 2024 NEW
Shellraiser has been closed for about a full year now with more random closures at different periods in previous years. Same with Sandy’s blasting bronco. They will have ‘scheduled maintenance’ for only a month for some of their closed rides then just re-extend those dates as soon as they don’t actually meet their deadline. It’s deliberately misleading guests to think rides will be open and continue to have guests pay about 100 dollars for a day at the park for an already underwhelming park. It’s unacceptable and it’s personally the worst experiences I’ve had at any park. Do not waste your money on this park that only cares about the guests pockets and not providing a good experience.

"Rides not working"

If you are thinking about going, ask first about what rides are open, we purchased the all day ticket and the roller coasters were not working; also the staff were not polite at all, they barely say hi or something, you would think they will be kind since this is a kids park. Not visiting again.
