I've been to quite a few amusement parks...and this was by far the worst.
I purchased my tickets, dining plan and parking ticket online thinking it would be the best way to go. We had no problems using our admission ticket or parking ticket. They actually eliminated a lot of waiting time.
When we got into the park we grabbed a park map and got moving. This park is set up so strange. The map didn't even help. There was no rhyme or reason to where things are located. The rides were decent, bring Advil and a neck brace...you will need them after going on the coasters...
Here's all the negatives:
- Lines: No wait times are displaced. The "rat cages" are not big enough to accommodate the lines, leaving people hanging out in the "roads." It's just one big cluster f*ck.
- Dining Plan: We purchased this for $15.99 thinking we were going to save money. We had no problem using the passes for our meal...we each got a burger or sandwich, drink and fries. The snack was another problem. Even though it says "restriction may apply" we were very disappointed in the signage letting us know what's allowed. You CAN get Dipping Dots...but only at a certain cart. Try finding that cart...I dare you. No one ended up with the snack they wanted, we wandered around the parking trying to find places we could use it. It turned out to be a bigger pain than anything. SKIP THIS.
- Workers: Rude, rude, rude. I only encountered ONE nice worker that day. Take a hint from Disney...those people actually seem to enjoy their jobs.
- 3D glasses: They make you pay for parking, food and tickets....and now they want $1 for 3D glasses. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
This was supposed to be a fun family day and it turned into a bigger headache than anything. We will not be returning.
