  • we had such a great time visiting, I can't wait to bring my 2 yr old. There is such a variety of rides its perfect for every age. the comet rollercoaster was by far one of our favorites, we ended up riding it twice in a row. the lines weren't too bad which was great. I do have to say the entrances to a lot of the water park stuff seemed backwards, we had a bit of a hard time finding the entrances and kept finding the exits and had to ask for directions which staff was happy to help. there were tons of moths when we were there, they kept swarming us! also we had a hard time looking up the map on our phones I wish they had paper maps. overall we had an amazing time, and I can't wait to go back!
  • Was great for my 3&4 year old and my husband ! Loved that there was a water park to cool down in ! The rides are kinda old but they are classics ! The tickets are reasonable ! Buy 2 tickets get 1 free. We purchased 4 and got 2 free. Loved the lifeguards in the kiddie pool they were very on top of their game and observant. Price of a refillable cup was $22 the same as a ticket tho was kinda crazy. Workers were all very nice.
  • Nice place to take the family for some fun. Its not as large as the Six Flags Great Adventures parks, but thats why I like it. A few of the rides and eateries are closed which was a little annoying, but over all we enjoyed ourselves. Of course the food and drink prices were ridiculous. Last year the kids enjoyed Fright Fest, and they want to go again this year.
  • mediocre park with great rides- when they are working. The Alpine Bobsled hasn’t worked in years. Lines aren’t too bad during the week. Food is basic junk food. The ice cream waffles are excellent but expect a line. If you buy tickets online and want only the parking with the season pass, buy that first. log out. Then go back in the site to buy the passes without parking for the kids.
  • My son and I get season passes every year after his summer camp ends, and go up just about every weekend through Halloween. Always a good time. Concessions are a bit pricey, no surprise at a 6 Flags, and they are a bit understaffed (everyone is these days), but the fun and memories are priceless. The season pass, with parking, pays for itself after the first couple of visits.
