点评:As someone who frequented Wild Waves as a teen in the 90s, I was saddened to hear it was closing although I hadn't been in years. We took our own teens for their first visit in the final summer and while it was fun, it was not nearly as great as I remembered, nor did it have as much to do as other water parks we've visited.
The lines were quite long the day we were there. We routinely waited 45+ minutes for a slide that was only 30ish seconds long. While we've had long waits in other parks, this just felt longer, or like all of them were long waits, whereas in other parks we've always felt like we could find ways to minimize waiting.
The ground is very difficult to walk on in bare feet, but unfortunately shoes are not allowed on the slides so bare feet are required to some degree. I stepped on more rocks and pointy/sharp things than I can count. It really tore my feet up.
Additionally, no outside food is allowed and the food they sell is way overprices. It was $18 for an elephant ear! While you can leave to go to your car and eat and then come back, that cuts into water park time, and since the hours are already limited (11 am to 6 pm on an August weekday) we didn't want to do that.
It was a fun trip, but I can understand why it is closing and I'm not sure that we'd return if it was staying home.
翻译:作为90年代经常光顾Wild Waves的青少年,虽然我已经多年没去了,但听说它要关园还是感到十分难过。去年夏天,我们带着自己的孩子第一次去游玩。虽然玩起来挺有趣的,但远没有我记忆中那么精彩,可玩的项目数量也远不及我们去过的其他水上乐园。
我们去的那天排队的人非常多。为了体验一个仅持续30秒左右的滑道,我们常常要等上45分钟以上。虽说我们在其他游乐园也遇到过排队很久的情况……感觉等待时间特别长,或者说每次都要等很久;而在其他游乐园里,我们总能找到办法来缩短等待时间。
光着脚走路时地面极其难走,可惜滑梯上不允许穿鞋,所以某种程度上还是得光脚。我踩到的石头和尖利物多到数不清,把我的脚弄得伤痕累累。
此外,游乐园不允许携带外部食物,而园内售卖的食品价格也贵得离谱。一个大象耳朵形状的甜点要卖18美元!虽然可以离开去车上吃完再回来,但这样会占用在水上乐园的游玩时间;鉴于开放时间本来就很有限(8月的工作日仅为上午11点到下午6点),我们不想这样做。
这次旅行挺有趣的,但我能理解它为何要关门了。即便它还开着,我也不确定我们还会不会再去。
