I’m not a connoisseur of water parks but I have been to several in my life time. I’d like to compare them to Wet n Wild Hawaii.

First off, I’m really not loving the disorganization and confusion with the lines. No signage, or staff helping direct the flow of single, double and triple tubes all being jam packed into a staircase the size of a normal sidewalk that is also feeding 7 water slides.... this is by far the most inefficient way I’ve ever seen line organization and execution be implemented.

Before I get into the things I would consider Misses and Maintenance items, I want to say a few things done right.

They have one of the most amazing staff members working in the popcorn shack by the restrooms. It was my pleasure to have had the privilege to interact with him. His energy and positive attitude was radiating throughout his work environment and customers, to include Auntie and myself. What an amazing asset you have sitting right there!!

The rides that were working were fun. Simply put. We raced down tunnels, we rode tubes and rafts!! We were in the wave pool after the movie was done playing and caught some sweet swells!! We had a great day overall and will be returning no question.

THE MISSES :

Line cutting is out of control. The group in front of us grew from 4 to 8. The group directly behind us grew from 3 to 7 by the front of the line and from what we could see it was happening everywhere and in every line. Friends walking up to other friends dripping water from the other ride and just cut everyone.

Kapolei Kooler (Lazy River) was closed. Shaka was closed. - permanently I hear 🤷 Big Kahuna - was closed for the first bit, then opened up mid day. Chief’s Luau - closed O-Hana Highway - 1 1/2 hour wait (running 2 tubes back to back with 5 minutes of downtime between rafts being carried up via automated ramp max 3 people per raft) grueling slow operation.

Other than the above mentioned items which I would consider moderate level management problems. (P.S. the underside of the Tornado is rusting through the paint and the paints peeling fairly bad exposing more metal to the elements, resulting in more rust. Maintenance should address) I would say it’s worth the $28 per person through Costco no questions asked.
