This was an awful experience for the kids especially since we planned this as a family trip during my sons mid-tour from Iraq. This was a total waste of time for the smaller childern in the family due the minimum rides avaliable. This park is geared more towards those childern outside the five year old range but this isn't expressed before tickets are purchased. The roller coaster, Desert Storm, had so many shut downs no one felt comfortable getting on the ride, it closed down three times while we were there. We Observed a family get on the bumper carts with a small child that was even shorter and smaller than my two three year old granddaughters but we were told they couldn't ride even accompanied by adults. This was a double standard and this was also discrimmination by the operator. We even followed the family and spoke with them to confirm that they just got off the ride and they said yes. The father asked why didn't they let your two girls get on the ride with you, I said that I had no idea. There were really only three rides for the children to get on and and we were really upset at the amount of money spent for this terrible experience. They could have told us at the entrance, your smaller children will not be able to get on but three rides and then we would not have paid $20.00 dollars for each child and myself that couldnt ride anything due to my military disability after serving 24 years. The important questions were never asked and there were no customer service representatives nearby in the area to deal with these types of issues on the spot. I reported a safety issue when two young boys were jumping up and down on the bridge which was clearly marked no jumping or running. The staff didn't really seem to care and sent them off to continue spreading their havoc among those that paid hard earned money to have fun. This event was awful for our family and my son has to depart back to Iraq on the 4th of April with this being the final nad most upsetting part of his vacation home with the family, thanks for teaching us a valuable lesson.
