As much as I really -REALLY- want to give this place more stars, I just can't. In good conscious, I just have to tell folks to be careful about this place.
I went for the first time with a buddy of mine. As much fun as I thought we'd have, there wasn't much fun to be had at all.
Long story short, I almost drowned. I felt like I got into a car crash. Left with some serious neck and head pains.
The detailed version...
First, we got on this water slide called the angry moccasins or something like that. It's a pair of black slides with snake heads on them. You go so fast on this slide, you literally can not lift your head or even breathe because the g-forces pushing down on you on all the turns you make at such a fast speed. At the end, it's a huuuge rush of water that dumps you in a pool. It's so disorienting and dizzying, it left me tumbling under water and unable to surface. I swallowed so much water and tried desperately to get out. A lifeguard had to help me out. I sat on the floor, puking up water and trying to catch my breath for a good 30 minutes. I was in shock, I seriously thought I was going to drown.
We got on the Water Racer slide, it's a slide where you take a slide mat up to the top of this really long slide that has a few hills on it. When I went down, my body lift off the slide on the last few hills since I was going so fast. My knee burned and scraped on a rough patching on the slide when I came down and land hard at the bottom. My whole front and back were in pain. =/
We figured we had enough of the water park after the near-death experience, so we decided to go to the dry theme park area where they have all the carnival rides.
They have this big looping roller coaster, "Ragin Cajun" I think it's called. That ride is SOOO unbelievably bumpy, it thrashes you around like a rag doll in the seats and knocks your head from side to side between the safety harness. It goes up a second hill and when it comes to a sudden halt, it seriously feels like you've just been rear ended. When I got off, my head and neck were in some serious pain. I couldn't ride anything the rest of the time and we wound up leaving.
These rides seem very old and out dated and are probably not safe at all, especially if they're giving guests whiplash and nearly drowning them, as well as leaving them with bumps, bruises, scrapes, and burns. The park seems to be run by a lot of teens and college students who don't really seem to be taking their job, and the safety of others, very seriously. My body can take a beating. I've been on some pretty brutal rides in the past, but this place seriously takes the cake. The smaller rides (like the black widow, rainbow, swinging ship, tilt-a-whirl) were fun, but that's because they're small and they don't do a whole lot. The bigger rides were the ones that really messed me up.
Like I said, I really wanted to give this place more stars because i'm a huge fan of amusement parks and the like, but this place was just so brutal and not very well maintained, I'm steering as far away from it as I can and making sure to warn my friends/family of the place. If you really want to go, go at your own risk and please be very careful. read more
