~4 rides are actually open (all with 1.5-2 hour waits) at 10am. Don’t spend $850 for a family of five and parking to walk around to see all delay or attraction closed signs. We walked around until 4pm to make the most of the money and only rode on 4 rides (none that I would want to try again).

All in all a great theme park and I hope other parks follow in their vegan footsteps- or...
