Hi, it was a sad day yesterday. In many ways. I learned that many ways a family love can die. I've gone to this place since I was a kid. I probably have fond memories of here with my dad who has been gone for 18 + years this July.

Yesterday, because of a change in management will be the last day we go here. Well at least I would think so. I can't say for sure the rest of my
family will agree, but its dangerous, and down right rudeness. Was just to much.

1. We had our tickets ahead. We were going as part of my husbands union.
Which means no standing in lines.

(( Top that off, they advertise, no admission fee now! Used to be $3.00,
and no standing in lines))

a. Tired to make us stand in line with over 150 people already there.

2. But husband kept staying to security guard, why are we standing in a line.
We have tickets, and we aren't supposed to have to wait to enter.

3. So the idiot guard kept saying just stand in line.

4. Some one walked up, with a ticket and he let them in.
A. Gosh want to make hubby, mad that did it.
B. He said, why can that person go in? Oh he has a band ticket.
1. Yes, I know so do we, all of us do.

5. Oh but you still stand, till brring , bring, don't make people stand in
line.
a. So he starts letting people go that are standing in line


Ugh.

We get inside, go to let the administration know what is going on. Because
he is still not letting most people go.

1. Girl doing the desk, keeps saying, watch your language, we will see about it. a. Not even listening to my husband.

* Admit husband said something he shouldn't, ( son of a ***** should be
fired) But then she said, this is a family amusement park, watch your language, hmmm **

who you talking to husband has been gone, and some other gentleman and
lady say. He is right. The guy isn't letting anyone in, over 150 in lines.

I started to ask her something, just a question.

SHe said, you have to watch your language.

I said, excuse me, but I have special needs kids, I don't talk bad.

But you have a no fee admission advertisement, if that is the language
you don't want me talking. I wont.

Good bye, My husband may have said, something while he was mad, but I sure didn't. As I was walking out all she could say was, watch your language.

Ugh.

THen, when we were putting the 2 and 4 year old on kiddy rides. THe used to be best place in the world. Well I knew right away it wasn't the same.

But about 2 hours later, I just about lost my 2 year old. And the ride attendant was not very observant. My grandson, because the attendant,
made him wait over 30 minutes, because more kids kept coming up, and she kept adding them. He had once already loosened his seat belt, and I had told her. She had moved him. And then about what seemed 15 minutes later.
he stood up right as she finally decided to start the stupid ride. And luckily
he fell or sat right back into the seat. But man it scared this grandma to death. And the attendant, must not have seen him stand or fall back in the seat. But if he hadn't fallen back into the seat he would have been in the track of the ride.

ITs one of the dangerous kids rides, they aren't bad otherwise.

Then later turns out you pay extra for the water slides.

1. They were letting anyone in there. Sounds like whether they had a bracelet on or not. We had to pay over $10 dollars each extra to go in.

2. And lots of people had to pay nothing. My husband wasn't happy.

( Real example, I didn't have a bracelet for anythng, because I would
only ride two or three things and to pay $20 dollars for that wasn't something
he wanted to do.)

3. Then it turns out my husband also saw a unsafe little girl on the sky ride,
he couldn't get to them fast enough to stop the attendant from sending the little girl that was probably about the same age as my grandson, 7, with
only half the safety bar in place.

a. Really wish he had gotten a picture though. But I'm proud he
tried to get to the front to fix it instead.

Luckily the little girl got to the other side safely.


It was a real mess. Luckily no one got hurt, and all had fun.
But I don't think we will have family fun there again.

And we plan to write a letter when I can cool down and make
sense of it.

Sorry, I really upset. And to top it off a friend took advantage
of the situation. By asking us to take a extra kid. And the
teen and her mom then made us look like fools.

Not my kind of friend.
