Castles N' Coasters - Desert Storm

Castles N' Coasters

So there we were, headed to Castles N' Coasters a wholesome amusement park in the desert... a place…read morefor families, laughter, and apparently, poor decision-making. Now my buddy this man reaches into his pocket and pulls out what I can only describe as a historical artifact. I'm talking a doobie so big it looked like Bob Marley himself rolled it during a greatest hits tour. I said, "Absolutely not. I am a grown man. I got responsibilities. I got a mortgage. I got snacks at home I haven't even finished yet." That didn't matter. Next thing I know, windows are up, car turns into a Dutch oven of bad decisions, and now I'm just along for the ride literally and spiritually. Somewhere between "this is a bad idea" and "why is everything funny," I lost control of the evening. We pull into the park around that magical time you know, that in-between hour... not quite day, not quite night... like God dimmed the lights and said, "Alright boys, let's see what happens." The whole place is glowing neon lights, arcade buzz, roller coasters rattling in the distance. Felt like walking into a carnival dream... or maybe a fever dream. Jury's still out. Now here's the thing about this place it's been around since the late '70s, sitting right there in Phoenix like a desert time capsule of fun. You got four roller coasters, including the Desert Storm, which sounds fun until you're on it reconsidering every life choice that led you there. Then there's the Patriot wooden, loud, and about as gentle as a bar fight. And somehow... SOMEHOW... we thought tequila beforehand was a good idea. So now we're buzzed, slightly baked against our will, and wandering this park like three philosophers who lost their notes. We're laughing at everything. Nothing's funny but everything's hilarious. A trash can? Comedy gold. A churro? Best thing I've ever eaten in my life. A child running past me? I'm emotionally invested in his journey. But I'll give credit where it's due the park itself? Clean. Staff's friendly. Nobody's judging three grown men giggling like idiots. It's got that old-school charm too arcades, mini golf, rides, the whole deal. You can bring a family here... or whatever version of a situation we were. Now the rides... oh, the rides. Let me tell you something nothing will make you rediscover fear like being slightly out of your mind on a roller coaster you thought you could handle. I got scared... not once... not twice... but a few times. The kind of scared where you start making promises to God you don't intend to keep. "I'll be a better man if I survive this drop..." Didn't mean a word of it. By the end of the night, we had the munchies, the laughs, and just enough dignity left to get back to the car without needing a group meeting. For a couple hours, though? We were kids again. No responsibilities. No stress. Just lights, noise, and pure, ridiculous fun. So yeah Castles N' Coasters might be a family amusement park... but under the right or completely wrong circumstances, it turns into one hell of a story. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just... maybe crack a window on the way there.

There's a couple machines upstairs that "ate our money". It's a play card with credits, but there…read moreare a couple times the games didn't let us play or credit us for a game. Also, the Simpsons machine doesn't let you play Lisa. it picks Bart if you select Lisa's button. Another machine is Zoltar downstairs. He only talks, but does not spit out a souvenir ticket. That one actually did eat my dollar. I guess it made up for it because a couple people abandoned their games downstairs in the middle, so the bf and I played for "free". It was on someone else's dime, but I guess that counts, too. We got nachos and drinks from the snack bar. Service was quick. As with any family fun event center, food was a bit overpriced. The female bathroom was nasty. I don't know how often they clean them, but there was paper all over the stall floor. The faucets had a lot of buildup on them. Both the male and female restrooms smelled funky. I didn't play at the putt putt section, but one day I'll be back to do that. Overall, a good arcade/food experience. I'd recommend this place to people. I cannot comment on any of the rides/attractions besides the arcade.

This is for large party only. We recently just threw our son a birthday party here. There are some…read morepros&cons. Pros: 1:Restroom are clean at least for the women im unsure about the men. There is a changing station for the littles. 2: it's air conditioned. The only hot part in there was where the race track was otherwise everything else is air conditioned including the private rooms for parties. 3: there's a large Tv and you have the option to play your own music or put anything else on. 4: there's an arcade at least when we were there it was all working. 5: they do sell alcohol however there's a section you have to stay in and you can not leave your alcohol beverage unattended. 6: they also sell snacks. I'm unsure if they sell food to individuals. 7: I had no issue with any of the staff. 8: at the end they do metals which the kids loved. They only did to 3rd place. Cons: 1: you aren't allowed to bring outside food or beverages. You can bring an outside cake though. Definitely be mindful of the length of the cake because if it's too tall they won't be able to refrigerate it. However, I did mention they have air conditioned private rooms so what I did was closed the door. And it kept it cool in there which prevent our cake from falling apart. The cake indeed stayed in tact till the end of the party. 2: party host are given a ticket to the children. That ticket is one free drink. Keep in mind kids get thirsty especially if they are running around and racing. By the time they were finished with their second race. Their drinks were obviously finished. So I felt bad that the parents had to buy additional drinks. 3: when my guest were trying to check in to do their waiver. It was a glitch on the system because the group event wasn't populating so the guest had to sign the waiver as an arrive & drive which kind of held up everything. You have to let the employee know so they can link the signed waiver to your group. Helpful tips for parents who decide to throw their kids birthday there 1. Make sure everyone signs the waiver in advance. That would have saved us a lot of time. 2. Makes sure everyone is on time because you can not race until your whole party is there. 3. Also refrained from confetti or glitter nothing messy. They will charge a cleaning fee and they will let you know 4. They do 1 race and then maybe a 30 min interval. To let the carts charge and the kids just played in the arcades. Then they will call out your whole party by name to race for the second time. 5. When you inquire about your party and you put in your deposit don't forget to order your food. They give you 7 days prior to the party date to order. If we would have just went just on a random day. My review would have been different. I just think that when you are hosting you should be able to take care of everyone. That includes making sure the parents had drinks too and if the children wanting more drinks especially when it was time to eat.

Stopped on a whim and had the best time!…read more We purchased three races each and got on the track pretty quickly. They give new racers the run down on how everything works, the flag system, etc. Explained the red button on the steering wheel that should only be used if necessary to back up. When my husband asked if the green button on the steering wheel was to boost your speed, the guy said if you think it does, then yes. LOL The carts go fast and it's a lot of fun. I like that after your race, you can get your results up at the counter inside to see where you ranked, your fastest lap, etc. I had one incident on my last race where I spun out and then someone hit me at full force. The flag guy ran over to make sure I was OK. My pride made me tell him yes, I was fine but it actually hurt. But I'm a big girl and can handle getting roughed up a little. LOL Thankfully it happened on my last race because my car did not handle too well after that - it shook terribly. I felt that the staff were patient, helpful and want everyone to have a good time. Our only issue was that we waited forever for our last race. They never called our names and group after group after group went on the course. Turns out they had somehow forgot about us. Arcade games, food, photo opps are inside and like I said, we had the best time!
