Had a great time. ( pleasantly surprised) Friendly staff, lifeguards were paying attention not socializing. Lots of things to experience for all ages. Yes, the food is overpriced. $17 dollars for a cheeseburger is almost reasonable compared to the $7 small bag of Doritos.😶Bathrooms were clean, lots of lounge chairs and seating opportunities. Will come again. Best part was that the parking lot doesn't feel like it's far away it was right there so you dont have to walk miles. 😊
We had so much fun here. We went on a Friday and it was not packed at all. No wait for rides and barely any wait for food. I will say that the number one ride we drove an hour for was closed down (Typhoon) and of course the food was overpriced but that’s expected. Staff was friendly and my family enjoyed themselves.
Ton of fun! Lots of things for the kids to do, especially kids over 48". We went on a 96° day, park was busy, but still plenty of space to spread out and we got to go down the slides as much as everyone wanted!
Came here countless times (20+) throughout the 2024 season. We purchased the diamond pass, and we got front row parking, but the issue is there is very little security or employees guarding the parking lot. They don't even guard the lot or charge for parking most of the time, which isn't a big deal for us due to us having the season passes, but for the people visiting the park once or twice a year, they didn't even have to pay a penny for parking. The park itself is nice, but it's just so small. They have lots of rides of different thrills. They don't keep the slides and stairs very clean, though. There is bird poop everywhere on the Bermuda Triangle and Riptide rush area. Even on slides, there is bird poop everywhere. Lots of debris in the lazy river, but it's Rockford so what do you expect. I overall enjoyed all of my time here, but the place could use better management.
Years ago when this was magic waters it was so nice, with a fun entrance. Over the years since 6 flags took over it has went downhill. We recently spent the day there and although the wave pool, lazy river, and slides were lots of fun, this place was disappointing. The bathrooms were so gross and no toilet paper or soap to wash our hands. We went for food and drinks just to wait in line forever and be told the registers are down and we couldn’t purchase anything. Thirsty and hungry kids wasn’t very fun. I then tried the pop machine and paid $5.60 for one drink that did NOT dispense. On top of all of that, we went to ride the slides but had to wait a solid 20-30 minutes for a double tube. They don’t have enough double tubes available and pretty much want you to spend more money to rent one. The Price at the gate was $50 per person, on top of paying for parking. We had fun but for the price and having to leave early because everyone was so hungry and thirsty, the wait for the tubes, the dirty bathrooms, etc. I will never go there again. It’s not the same bright pretty place it used to be.
