| - Pretty disappointing - I thought this was supposed to be a newly renovated Wet n' Wild?? We've been to the Wet n' Wild in Orlando several times, and that park is what a water park should be. This is a poor imitation.
We were looking for something to do with our 3 yr old, who is like a fish in the pool. We figured enough time has gone by since the opening that things at WnW should be running smoothly. We got our tix online, (saved a couple bucks) but the total for 2 adults and one child was still $94. And then $5 for parking, and $6 for a small locker, that takes a bite out of the wallet.
This WnW is maybe half the size of the Orlano park. We'd been here when it was Waterworld, and they didn't increase the size one inch, it seems. Just replaced a few slides with some updated ones. Now, I have to say that we didn't even try any of the brand new stuff - most of which looked like a lot of fun - because we were there solely for our kid to have fun. But the lines for all these slides were very long. I talked to some people on the slides, and they said the avg wait was about :30 per slide. Standing in Phx heat for 30 minutes, for a 30 second slide doesn't sound too cool to me.
A couple things we noticed right off the bat - in the lazy river and the wave pool, the bottom is chock full of holes and large unpainted spots. Didn't they even paint these things before they reopened as WnW?? Not very impressive.
Also - the "kids" that work this place were, for the most part, completely uninterested in their jobs. Now...if you're manning the fry bin at McD's, and the fries cook a little too long, no biggie. But when you have toddlers going down water slides in the kid section, and they're basically beating the crap out of each other to get down the slides and not waiting til the first kid gets out of the way first, causing chaos in the form of little toddler bodies in a crumpled heap.....not good. Not once did I see the girl watching the toddler slide stop the madness once. If you have a small child here...WATCH THEM CLOSELY.
I give them 2 stars because my kid had such a ball, and we'll probably buy a season pass next year. (3 visits and it's more than paid for) It's worth it for us to come there 4 or 5 times a year for my son to play, but if I have to wait 30 minutes every time I go down one of the adult slides, that's gonna get old verrrrry fast. At least the lazy river is available.
