    The lunch prices are unbelievably expensive. We paid 63.09 for 3 slices of pizza, 3 drinks, and a kid's meal.

    Money saving tip: pack some sammies and fruit and drinks in a cooler / leave the park to picnic at your car and then head back in (they stamp your hand when you leave).

    Buy a season pass when they first become available and you'll save a ton all year!

    Intimidator was a lot of fun, but a single-day pass is extremely overpriced considering how small the park is and how short most of the coasters are. 6/10.

    The water park has so many rules that make it a little rediculous and unenjoyable.

    Pass holder line has been insane. They require you to do it before entry now instead of before you leave that day which makes it very slow.

    get in line for The Intimidator. Make sure you go to the bathroom before riding, otherwise you will need to change underpants
