Worst park experience + arrogance
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

06/23/2006 Posted by comengo

This park turned out to be a disappointment. At every turn, especially in The Hurricane Harbor, there is someone telling you what to do, and wouldn't you know it - it is for your own safety. I visited with my five-year-old son and it was an extremely negative experience . We were not allowed to go down some water slides together - and he wouldn't go alone - because supposedly the weight would go over some unnamed limit (our combined weight is no more than 205 lbs). It would have been a little bit more understandable had these restrictions been clearly posted BEFORE one bought the tickets. When talking to a manager I was arrogantly told no refunds were poossible and they couldn't offer any other compensation for the unpleasant experience.

Pros: Cannot see any.

Cons: Restrictions not clearly posted before you buy tickets; no refunds.

Editor's Review

Stomach-reeling roller coasters and cool rides for kids add up to big-time family fun.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Save Time

To combat lines, head immediately to the County Fair area or to the back of the park--most people start with rides near the entrance.
