The new Wet N' Wild must be pretty awful... because I'm sorry to say, I'm unimpressed with Cowabunga.. This is not like Wet N' Wild of my childhood...Or a raging waters... Or any other cool giant water park of summer delight. But maybe I'm just too old to enjoy water parks with such fondness. Lines are long. Water is smelly. It is super duper hot and there is no shade whatsoever (other than many giant umbrellas you're lucky if you can get under). And weighing you to get on a ride? I realize it's a safety thing so you have to do it, but that's not traumatizing or anything! . It's not a giant water park and the lazy river doesn't take you around the park which doesn't make any sense to me. The kiddie park is in direct sunlight so the water is not refreshingly cool in the Vegas sun. For the mom's that's a necessity to rethink. My niece said, \"I wish we were at Disneyland.\" Girl, me too. At least when I pay for overpriced food there, I enjoy it. The kids did enjoy themselves in the wave pool. That was a redeeming quality. Not sure I'll be back. I just wasn't sold."^^ . "1"^^ . .
