What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this establishment are mixed. Several long-time visitors express disappointment, noting a decline in quality, new attractions, and overall experience since previous ownerships (Cedar Fairs, now Six Flags), with current ownership showing little improvement. Service issues, specifically for cabana rentals, were reported, including long waits for drink orders due to apparent understaffing. Other complaints include overcrowding, misbehaving guests, and 'nasty' water in the kids' area. On a positive note, children generally enjoyed their visit, and the 'drop tower' ride received specific praise for being fun.

This place went down the drain years ago. As a kid, I remember them adding something special and unique every few years and then they just got cheap and lazy. Cedar Fairs made it even worse if that was even possible. Now Six Flags owns it and you would assume there would be an over night improvement but a year and a half later, nada and next year sounds the same other than a partial change to the water park that will probably be more of a liquor lounge instead of family rides from what I've read.

It was ok. Too many people though, didn't know how to behave without bothering others near by.

We reserved a cabana here for $200. After a friendly check in we were told a person would bring a flag and a menu. Over the course of an hour and a half, as well as speaking with 3 different people nobody took our drink order. If they are short staffed they should just say so. Can't really say anything about the food or drinks we never got any.
