The rides were fairly enjoyable and the lines were not that long. We did almost all the rides rated 4 or under in the 6+ hours we were there. We also saw a half-hour magic show by Ed Alonzo, which everyone in the family enjoyed – it was a good break from the hectic atmosphere in the rest of the park.
As is the case in most such parks across the country, purchasing food/drinks/snacks inside the park is horrendously expensive and you are not allowed to bring in food & drinks from the outside. Cotton Candy’s were $3.50 (small) and the pricing was in that range or higher for other snacks or soft drinks. The one cafeteria we went in had the pricing menu hidden away in the upper side corner. This results in sticker shock at the counter – we saw a family of 4 ordering 2 plates of chicken & fries, 2 slices of pizza, and some soft drinks and the check came to ~$70 – the poor guy asked again to verify, then looked across the plates in front just to make sure there wasn’t any mistake, then offered up the credit card. A somewhat better deal seemed to be the all-you-can-eat barbecue, which is $13.95 for adults and $8.95 for kids. Compared to the food pricing, the gift shops seemed far better as far as pricing. They had several themed t-shirts priced at $5 a piece and many shops had aisles, which offered up to 75% discount.
Overall, a very enjoyable experience – we would go again next year, if time allows. The park closes for Winter in early November and reopens late March.
