I've been here many time since they opened a few years ago and have always enjoyed it, which is why we keep going back. However, I'm not sure if it's pandemic related, but they seem to be moving in the wrong direction. First, the new parking charge of $25/day is just ridiculous! This used to be free and only valet parking had a charge. If they're just trying to makeup for lost revenue form the pandemic, I hope this goes away when it's over otherwise other area parks have no fee parking! Second, they seemed to be very short staffed. Food service did not open till late in the day and the wait was very long. Some rides and areas were closed, which was not disclosed on their website when booking. Some sections that had an opening time, did not open at said time. Sometimes more than an hour later. They took away half of the seating are near the wave pool to make a so-called "VIP" section. There is nothing VIP about that section at all. Is it just waiter service and umbrella? It took away seating for the rest of guests and is just another way to showcase class divide! The VIP cabanas was sufficient in my opinion. They just seem to be trying to milk the most money out of guests without adding any additional experiences or amenities. I always thought the place was a good value but now I'm not so sure.
