Great time, good people

We took our kids, 9 and 11, and they had a great time, although the rides are geared for either small kids or teenagers+. Great rollercoasters, but a bit too big for smaller kids. I’d heard in the past that the Fright Fest stuff was a little too over the top for kids, but they must have toned it down. I will say that the park personnel were much more helpful and friendly than the last time I was there five years ago, so to the management, good job! We were comfortable letting our kids roam around while Mom and I went on the big coasters.
To those that say it’s expensive, it is. Name me one park that’s not. Go ahead and spring for the flash pass/queue bot thing, or you’ll spend many a miserable hour in line for the good rides. It doubles your ticket price, but we definitely found it worth it.
Only downside is that the food is mediocre at best, don’t plan on a lot of variety.
Also, the best place to stay is right up the road at the Wingate by Wyndam. Great people, they really did backflips to help us. They’ve got discounts on park tickets, and if your polite, they’ll let you check in early, or hold your bags at the counter. Big plus is that it’s a short walk to the park, so you can come and go as you please.
