| - I read several reviews and there are a few points in the negatives that I just don't get. So many complaints about how it's not as good as the old Wet N Wild. It is smaller than the old Wet N Wild, but there are acres upon acres of room to expand this park. If people stop and look back, the original Wet N Wild in Las Vegas was not as big as it ended up being either. Every year they introduced new areas and new rides and I believe that the new park will as well. The fact is, this is not the old Wet N Wild, give it time, and it could be just as good if not better. I was also surprised how people are saying this is NOT as kiddie friendly. I completely disagree. My first impression was that this is way more kiddy friendly, and after going several times with my 5 year old, I still feel it's way better for kids. They have en entire kiddie area with NO deep waters for children to drown in. At most the water is around feet level except for maybe where some of the slides end which has like 1 foot deep water if that. There are also lifeguards all over the kiddie section. After the first day, I felt comfortable enough to allow my 5 year old to run around the kiddie section by himself. He cannot swim yet, but I have no worries of drowning whatsoever. For those comparing the old park again, remember the old park had a big swimming pool that in some areas was 2-3 feet deep for the kids. That is way deeper and more dangerous for drowning incidents. The entire park basically has NO pools, except the wave pool. None of the slides end in a pool. This is both a bonus (for safety), and a negative (because adults liked the slides dropping into pools and the raging rapids). My son went on EVERY ride except the new version of 'Der Stuka' (probably misspelled it). The wave pool isn't as deep, it goes 5' 11" where the old one was about 9-10 feet I think. This again should mean more safety for children but may not be as fun for teens and adults. The lazy river isn't as big, but it's still fun and relaxing to lay in. After multiple trips with friends and family, I have had no problems with staff, no problems with waiting in line, and I even thought the food was 'OK'. I waited 5-10 minutes to get on a ride. Some of the tube rides might have been longer, but some were shorter as well. As a family man, I love that I can take my kids and not have to worry so much about their safety. At the same time, I enjoyed the rides. I agree they are not as thrill seeking as some of the old rides I went on, but I still enjoyed them and I believe that the park will expand and have more adventurous rides in the future. I also hope they add more covered areas for sitting, but it's nice that I can bring my own chairs, canopy's, tents or whatever for shade. There are a large number of grassy areas to pitch a spot for the day. We have season passes and plan to go almost every Saturday that we are available. So far it's been a blast, and my kid has an unbelievably fun time.
