All I can say to the people who think this place is expensive: You have never actually BEEN to a theme park that's expensive.
Granted, we are Phoenicians so coming back on a season pass is obviously an option but even if you compare the other stuff to, say Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in NJ (we went a few months ago while visiting the family), this place is a WHOLE lot cheaper and so much easier to get around.
Lockers: $7 here vs. $20 at SF
Unlimited fountain drink wristband: $7 (our family used one and we all shared) vs. not available at SF (but they DO offer a $10 souvenir cup that's refillable for $1)
Parking: $7 vs. $25 at SF (no, that's not a typ-o; and you'll feel like you walked to Philly by the time you get to the actual entrance)
Food items were in line with SF but not as high as Disney/Universal.
My sons, age 7 & 10 had a blast today!
Also, I couldn't belive how quickly we got back to our car! Other places like SF and Disney you walk forever! Granted, they're a lot bigger, but I feel like there's so much wasted space around the entrance/exit points at those places..
Great park layout.
Very clean as well.
We'll be regulars now that the kids are old enough to enjoy all the rides.
