Had an awesome day! Even with the July heat, the shaded lines, fans, and free water kept us going from open to close! I highly recommend the premium dining plan. By the time you buy 2 meals and a drink you’ve basically paid for the plan. Then, you get to eat every 90 minutes and drink every 15 minutes. Going on a weekday will give you the ability to ride basically all of the rides multiple times! The staff was awesome, kind, and helpful answering any questions we had. Looking for a fun activity for the family that is outdoors and away from screens? This is a great option! We brought a big group our church and had a blast as well! Overall, I’d highly recommend this amusement park if you’re into thrilling rides, good food, and a great time with friends and family!

It was a nice amusement park and water park. There are not many rides for little kids, but they have some great rollercoaster ridesplan on bringing quite a bit of money. I was lucky im 65, so I only paid 19.99 to get in. I bought a refillable drink cup for the day, which cost me 21.97. A small box of popcorn was 8.35.. parking is 35.00 vip parking is 45.00. The one good thing they did was because of the high heat, we went 4th of July weekend was any food place or drink stand you could get a free cup of water. No outside food is supposed to be allowed, but they don't check bags, so you can bring in chips or something. They are a cashless place, so have a credit or debit card with you. Also, you walk through a metal detector. You must have an ID with you. They check for someone over 21 with kids, although he asked a single guy in front of me for his, so just have it ready. There are plenty of rest rooms with no lines for the womens room, that is, people just don't like to flush the toilet, so that's something to watch for. It's a nice park, though, and I can see me going back there again.

Rides were fun. Went early on a Saturday morning and luckily lines were not awful. Fury325 is very intense and also a very smooth. Thunder Striker is just as smooth, intense as well but not quite as terrifying 😆. Other coasters were great. Need to remember I'm too old for Carolina Cyclone, it beat me up. I don't ride Hurler anymore for that same reason. First time on Copperhead Strike - very fun coaster! Afterburn is still one of my favorite coasters of all time; it is really a fun ride!! Overpriced food was very low quality. $65 for two slices of pizza which came with a garlic bread knot. And 2 medium fountain drinks. Just excessive. I think a different food & bev model would work out better for the park. I'm sure it is challenging to manage that aspect but still, the quality should at least be satisfactory at those exorbitant prices.

Always a great time. Brought my son and his friends and we got to spend a full day here. They rode every coaster and ended it with the fury. Glad we invested in the gold pass. We'll worth the money

Very nice park , clean and everything seems to be well maintained. All the employees I encountered were very nice and seemed to do their jobs well. All the food we tried while there was very good from brisket to pulled pork and chicken tenders. I was impressed with Fury 325 and Copperhead Strike . Both are great rides . We came on a Sunday, a very hot day and the park overall was not very busy or at least imo it wasn't, though I'm used to Cedar Point type busy 😅😅. Overall great experience at this park.
