This is a good outdoor park with a fair amount of rides for under $25 unless you go on budget days when it is $12. There is a water coaster that might look intense, but its a lot of fun and Im terrified of things like that. I hear the people in front get a lot of airtime. The only problem is that the line tends to be a long wait, because there is only one and its the big special thing at this park. The 3 body slides are good fun, but none of the slides feel better than one another. The two drop slides will keep track of your time from top to bottom. The tube slides feel good, but the purple one with 2 people feels like the high edges on corners end a bit too soon. When I was there, there was only one lifeguard working 2 waterslides, which can create a wait. Maybe there are more guards working on peak days like the weekend. There are lifeguards at the bottom of course and plenty of lifeguards at any body of water. They even did a drill when we were there. Speaking of lifeguards, it seems like the lifeguards working the waterslides on the top would bucket water and throw it on people in the short lines. The kids seem to love it, Im not sure about the adults. If youre not paying attention, that means you get doused in the eye with chlorine. The wave pool felt small, but not overly crowded. The park itself didnt feel crowded really on a hot Friday from morning til close. Footwear is a must. The cement is foot burningly hot. Im not sure any other cement has been as hot. I recommend walking through the grass when possible. The lazy river feels not as large as other lazy rivers, and at some points you could be at a complete stand still. There are plenty of leaves in the river and a few alternate paths, one with a great waterfall that you can avoid and another with fountains streaming. Another issue was kids without tubes in the lazy river are everywhere. Using it like a swimming pool was a little much. And well there was a lunchable pack just floating around there. There is a toddler pool with ankle deep water and 2 small slides including the frog tongue slide that youve probably seen elsewhere. The kids play area has the traditional giant bucket with a few body slides and plenty of area to climb on. There are private family changing areas and bathrooms with changing tables and showers. Locker rentals are $7 and you can get $2 back when you hand in the key. I see police there walking around for security. In all, its free parking, cheap lockers and they let you bring your own food. Budget days are your best bet, but otherwise under $25 seems like $5 too much. Lines are short, except the water coaster and its a fun day. 1 lazy river 1 wave pool 1 toddler pool 1 kids area with a few body slides and a giant bucket 1 water coaster 3 body slides 2 drop slides 4 tube slides (2 covered with some neon lights inside 2 not covered) 1 small hurricane style slide for 4 people per tube

We went on a Friday, got there when it opened. Tickets pre-purchased online so only had to stand in the cooler/bag check line. That line went very fast considering how long it was. We reserved a Blaster Bungalow ahead of time; Guest Services was very pleasant and had our reservation ready to go. The Bungalow however was less than desirable, very secluded as far away from the rest of the park you can get overlooking the parking lot and the tollway. There is a reason there are not any pictures online posted and you can barely find it on the park map! I do not recommend anyone paying to reserve these, rent a cabana and pay extra for the Splash Blaster Fastpass if the Fastpass is one of the considerations in reserving these spots. The bungalow we had was dirty, obviously not cleaned from the day before. We were able to switch to another reserved location by the Lazy River with very little hassle. Once we were settled in the new location we enjoyed a full day at the park. The lines for the attractions did not seem that horrible for a hot Friday in the middle of summer. It was a little disappointing the body slides were closed most of the day for some reason as my kids enjoy them but they kept plenty busy without them. This is no fault of the park but please take advantage of the FREE swim diapers! I cannot believe how many times attractions including the wave pool were closed throughout the day and then an announcement was made with a swim diaper reminder. I can only assume there was an issue with diapers related to the closings. There was a non-life threating water rescue in the wave pool (not a training exercise) and the life guard response was amazing along with the rest of the staff that came running to the area as soon as the rescue occurred. Very reassuring to see how professional and calm everyone handled the situation and made sure the person was ok and then taken to the first aid building.

When I arrive there I had to walk 10 mins to get to the door with my 2 babies then when u got to the ticket center to buy the tickets in order to receive the resident price I had to show Id which I left on the car so I didnt lose it. So I had to walk back to my car again to give them my Id. Normally they just ask me for my address. I mean come on if Im willing to walk that far with 2 babies then yea I probably live here. Then we get the tickets and go inside my family had fun which we were planning on eating there for the day which food cost us 90$ for the day. When wee got lunch we ordered burger and hot dog meals. The burgers took a good 20 mins to make then they forgot a burger so u had to wait another 5 mins for that burger that was already on the grill cooked. Then after waiting and that problem my 2 yr old daughter took a bite out of her hamburger and it was completely raw!!! I hurry up and grabbed it and ran the burger up to the people working and said um my daughter got a raw burger which the 1 guy was very polite and got it taken care of I think he might have been a supervisor then I had to wait 10 More mins for another burger. But then as Im waiting for that burger it was a joke to the 2 kid working and saying you made it I didnt then drinking and talking not even cooking food for every one wise that was up there there were 3 burgers on the grill with 1 being mine and 4 people waiting for 2 or 3 burgers at a time. just didnt understand what was going on.

Hey everyone this is Kaiser Yaknowit. (its kind of a fake name). When my family went to magic waters we all had a great time. The rides where really great and the wave pool was fun too. i know how some of you were saying its dangerous for smaller children, and i agree with that. But when i was in the wave pool (11 years old) i was next to the wall when the waves started, and the lifeguard specifically told me and my family to stay away from the wall. No, she wasnt being rude she was just trying to keep us safe, like a lifeguard should, and you cant be all lovey-lovey to get people to listen to you. it dont work like that. So i know your all saying the lifeguards and employees were being rude and crap, but theyre doing their best to keep us safe. But you know, some people can be cranky, no ones perfect. So dont judge the place by the first impression. Its a really good, low priced place. I mean 12$ a person on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays! thats not bad! if i actually did my chores, I could take my family there! their pizza was great, the rides are great, the service is pretty nice too! So i reccomend this place for your family! and friends too! Dont mind my typos please I dont like the V.I.P. crap either. its freaking stupid! lol Kaiser
