5 Stars... Had so much fun on Sunday! I should start this review by saying I'm a terrible scaredy cat.... So I wasn't sure if there'd be many rides for me. Luckily I was able to enjoy almost all of them! Yes I'm the girl with the blood curdling screams. We arrived around 2pm and it was perfect. The place has a steady stream of people, but not so busy that we had to wait forever in line. We never waited more than fifteen min (End of season perk). Sometimes no line at all. Definitely great to go at this time of year. My friend found out it is half price after 2pm, and I think that is a great deal. Although if you plan to go more than 3 times, you may be better off getting the season pass. My absolute favorite ride is the half pike. I was originally too scared to ride it, but so glad my friend talked me into it. You go down a short tunnel, and then it feels like the bottom drops out & you fall straight down & immediately up what looks like a skate board wall and back down again. So much fun! This ride requires the combined weight of both riders to be 200. They actually put you on a scale to confirm, but don't worry it is more of a pass/fail rather than actually saying your weight. If the scale shows a green light, you are good to go. My 2nd favorite ride (and the Bf's fav) was the new Tornado. It can take up to 4 people per ride. This one sends you down a tunnel and then into a giant funnel like 'tornado' sending you back & forth up the funnel sides. Thrilling & awesome! Personally I also really liked Rattler & Zipp, Zapp, Zoom. rattler is another one that allows 4 people. A fun pink & green twisting & turning slide. The ZZZ is definitely very calm and I was able to build up some confidence. I think it is great that they offer complimentary sun screen. Also all of the staff were incredibly fun & friendly. I really felt like the employees working the rides took time & care to ensure safety, but also keep it fun. My only concern is pricing. I feel tickets/season passes & etc are all a little high for what is offered. I am sure they plan to add more rides, so I can't wait to see what else they bring. We went back to the alcohol dining area and I recommend getting the Stella. It tasted so good. Food is on par with what you would expect. Nothing fancy. Chicken fingers were pretty good with quality ranch (some ranch is terrible) and I definitely liked the criss cut fries. Our server was great, I think his name was Jason. (I feel like it was spelled a different way though) That's what I get for waiting a few days to finish the review. Also our cabana waitress was great. When we came back after our first round of rides, she had left some water & her number in case we needed her for anything. Very nice touch! Great job Wet n Wild, I'll be back next year just trying to decide between season pass or single visits.

Tonight was rough. From the beginning we had communication issues with the gentleman taking our order. I asked for a 6-piece chicken nugget; three times he then asked, "you want 6 meals of chicken"? I simply explained I wanted a 6-piece single meal of friggin' chicken as if I were Vince Vaughn. The rest of the order went relatively smooth. When I pulled up to the first window, the man taking our order was still manually taking down our order, he then turned to an employee and told her the amount and simply walked away...WTH? I pulled up to the second window where I given my incorrect order; I was missing an order of fries. The young woman politely asks us to park and she'll bring the order out when ready...we did, and before we were backed up she walked out to deliver us our fries. I was a little irritable from our return flight home and asked her, jokingly, if that gentleman was the manager. To my amazement, he was! Actually, he was the Asst. Manager when the night manager called in sick. The next part I wasn't particularly proud of; I called him an idiot. The employee took it professionally. Sorry I called the socially and linguistically-lacking man down by calling him an idiot; but he was this evening. Tell him we say thanks for the extra bbq sauce...and for that you guys get a +1

I try to eat here when I am in town visiting my brother. As others have said it's cafeteria style so you may have to wait in line but hopefully not for long. This place is so good. Their bbq is delicious, but what I found myself endlessly shoving in my mouth was the hot link sausage and the cheezy potatoes. The inside has a nice country atmosphere with a big tractor inside. I prefer outside at night with the strung up lights that give it, idk, just a real homey country type feel that makes the food taste even better. Try it. I wish we had bbq this good in San Diego. Phils is ok in San Diego but Joe's is better hands down.

Southwest is the best of all the domestic airlines. They are far from perfect but having the highest paid flight attendants and pilots of any domestic carrier goes a long ways to their team's positive attitude and willingness to go the extra lengths necessary to take all the drama out if air travel.
