Went twice this season (once with my family and once with a friend) and had a great time each time.
Got there before noon each time and lines moved quickly and efficiently. The employees and volunteers were polite and attentive when needed. Typical fair faire. Food was good, rides were fun, shops were cute, and the shows were spectacular.
Some people are complaining about the price but don't let that deter you. That's the price you pay for an experience.
