Overall we were very impressed with the renos done to this water park. We had intentions to go during the week however the weather didn't seem to want to cooperate so we ended up going on a Saturday afternoon. While it was busy, it wasn't insane and other park guests were patient and courteous making things move along at a fair pace. Food line ups were not huge either but big enough and beyond slow (several people commented on this). But food prices weren't exorbitant for an amusement park. And yes, the lifeguards and kiosks are all managed by "kids," aka teenagers, all of them seemed alert and take their roles seriously. I didn't see any slacking off during my time there. So overall, a good bang for your buck (I got our passes on a Groupon). All three of my kids loved it and we will definitely be purchasing a season pass next year!
