text: Maybe my hopes were too high when I made plans to go to Sunsplash I was overwhelmed by the crowd So many people were crammed into this relatively small space Never in my life have I seen a line for a wave pool I typically think of the wave pool as a retreat from the lines Not at Sunsplash The lazy river was so packed I could hardly see the river part Not exactly a relaxing experience nnNot only that but the water park seemed less than sanitary I saw several people with bloody noses and I could not help but wonder when the last time they thoroughly sanitized the place The park is also open at nightI will not be venturing over to Sunsplash after dark You know what likes to come out at night Bugs Big ones I am a Coloradancall me spoiledbut large bugs just are not a part of life where I am fromnnThe slides are fun especially the gigantic ones If you plan to go on the big slides be sure to bring your friends Expect to carry a massive raft up several flights of stairs There are no mechanisms that bring the empty rafts up to the slide entrance for customers I got a workout just by hauling our raft aroundnnWhatever you do do NOT open your water bottles prior to entering the park They will throw them out Bring a few gigantic bottles and rent a locker a large cup of ice can be purchased at the concession stand for cents Bring cash too A locker is but you receive back when you present your receipt with the locker key Also I recommend bringing some plastic flipflops There is nothing worse than tromping around dirty grounds covered with strangers hairs and other disgusting debris nnFood is quite pricey no surprise here It is a fun place to spend a Saturday just do not expect anything too elaborate
