2024-08-21 | MIchael Clark | A great park with something for everyone! Very clean and easily navigated. It's like taking the best rides from all of Disney's parks and combining them into 1 superpark! Waterpark, Zoo, and an amazing amusement park with 13 adult Rollercoaster's! Cheaper than any other parks and no sacrifice to quality, cleanliness, entertainment or staff! You won't be disappointed! You can preview the park the day before your 1st trip for 2 hours FREE! Buy tix online $90 2 days, or it's $130 at the gate. | |
2024-07-31 | Charlie Cook | (Original Review 4/8/2013) If the map actually worked the way it is supposed to I would love this app. Unfortunately it is a half baked app that didn't deliver. (Updated Review 7/31/2024) This app is still terrible. The wait times are always incorrect and the user interface is still just as clunky as it was 11 years ago. The thing is, if the wait times were accurate this app would be fine. But here we are over a decade later and this app can't get that one part correct. | |
2024-06-12 | Shane Jansen | I like that this stores season pass holder tickets, coupons, and tracks rewards. This functions well as a map to the park as well. The biggest problem is that the wait times are not even close to accurate, which is the main reason to use the app. There are also plenty of "features" that simply redirect you to the website. I also wish there were more options for mobile food ordering and better features for this, like pay with Google at check out. | |
2023-07-25 | Jeffrey Tedford | The good: a lot of information and good information about how to get to rides for people who need that (I used to work at HP so I didn't use that feature). The bad: the ride wait times information is awful. either the information doesn't refresh or the app just does not work accurately. The app told us rides were 60 or more minutes only for us to find them at only a 5 or 10 minute wait. Other tides were a 10 minutr wait but were closer to 50 minutes. | |
2023-06-28 | Max Handelsman | Map is ok, although it can't seem to figure out which way I'm facing. Seriously, if you get seasick or carsick, do NOT try to use it for directions. And the wait times are always WAY off, so much so that is not at all helpful. As in, saying 10 minutes when tl actual wait time was 90, and saying CLOSED when it's been open for 20-30 minutes. | |
2023-05-23 | liz o'neal | App says you can filter rides by height, but it won't change from By Name. And all the map filters reset andy time you close the app. FAQ is misleading. Navigation is lacking. I'm really hoping the map works out for me bc I get lost easily. EDIT: reinstalled and filter now changes. Everything still resets, though. | |
2023-04-09 | Francesco Virgilio | The app offers a ton of versatility in planning your day ahead of time. It lets you know where rides are on the park, and the height requirements before you even get there. It's only a 3 star review because the system seems to be glitching during my use in the park. The wait times as well as what trodes are open is not accurate, so day of in the park not amazing. But a really good tool to plan ahead of time | |
2022-08-21 | Joseph Lynch | App does what it needs to buy the route feature needs a bit tweaking. Me and a friend who had the app installed on her iPhone, me Pixel, showed two different routes to get to the water park, both going in opposite directions. Noticed some rides height requirements didn't match to the rides we went on. | |
2022-08-14 | Matt Cabaniss | The interactive map is helpful, but the wait times listed for the rides are inaccurate and actually counter productive. Wait times often show 10 minutes when it is really 60+. Then everyone sees the (inaccurate) 10-minute wait and swarms the line, turning a 60+ minute wait into a 120-minute wait. Meanwhile the app still says 10 minutes. To make matters worse the park doesn't clearly post wait times throughout the line (as in "approx 60 minutes from this point") so the whole system is flawed. | |
2022-08-04 | Cali N | This app is just okay, it works decently well when you're trying to find places, it leads you to wherever you want to go fairly accurately. However it only lists the wait times for those with fast passes. So the app may list a ride as a 15 to 30 minute wait but if you don't have fast pass when you get to the ride it's really a 60 to 90 minute wait. That really messed up my plans at the park and we didn't get to go on many rides at all. I would've preferred a paper map but they're not available. |
