We went on opening weekend. Well worth the price for season passes bought online. No big lineups for any of the rides, in fact some rides we were even allowed to stay on and go again since noone else was waiting! That had never happened to me going all these years to Six Flags La Ronde in Montreal! All the... More

Since the Place has been turned over from Mr. Woods to Great escape Corp. they have realy jazzed the place up . You need 2 days to cover everything as with CORPs. The Price is $$$$ but a day out with the grandkids and the kids....[Children] is very enjoyable More

The water park is great, but some of the other areas are showing wear. The place needs some sprucing, but the rides are great for young kids. More

This park is absolutely lovely. They have a wide variety of attractions from throw-up scary to gentle preschool rides. Wet rides, dry rides, toddler rides, preschooler rides all the way up to adult extreme rides. The park also has a staff of what appear to be international work exchange students running the rides. Across the board, the rides my daughters... More

I have been here many times. Avoid it on busy holiday weekends as it gets packed and the line-ups get long. The water park offers great relief on a hot day. To avoid paying hefty locker fees, leave the valuables at home and store your essentials in a backpack. Food is expensive, so try to bring your own. More
