Ok but I can see why they are closing and they have a lantern fly infestation. They’re everywhere when you’re on the coaster they fly into you

The park is nice but the parking lot was a bit confusing. It seems to be one-way directional so keep that in mind when visiting. The farthest row is for “reserved parking” or VIP parking. The disabled parking is directly in front of the entrance. The staff were absolutely the nicest staff! They were so nice & incredibly helpful! Some rides were unfortunately closed but I was able to ride most of the rides. I gave two stars because the wooden coasters were absolutely some of the roughest, most bone-jarring coasters I’ve ever ridden. The Firebird coaster was a read headbanger! I hit my head so hard on the restraint that I actually saw “stars”! I’m surprised I didn’t get a mild concussion. Joker’s Jinx was surprisingly rough as well but the flat rides were great. The train is EXTREMELY slow but I’m glad I got to ride it as they’re only running it at certain times. I was disappointed in the lack of souvenirs but I understand that the park is closing so that’s totally understandable, I hope that Six Flags will find homes for at least the flat rides, once the park closes. I’m planning on going back a second time to, hopefully, ride what I missed out on due to some being closed & a sudden storm having rolled in. Definitely try to visit the park before it closes for good, I do advise to stay away from the coasters, however, they’re ROUGH! The park itself is smaller but it’s definitely a walk towards the superheroes/villains area of the park so just be aware of that. The park was nicely shaded & had so many places to sit & rest or take in everything. They had plenty of restrooms but not all of them had water fountains nor were there very many water fountains available so I had to use the restroom sink a couple of times, to fill up my water bottle. Although they had several places to eat inside the park, I didn’t partake of any food so I can’t comment on that. The ambience of the park was also great & I loved the Patriotic music they played at the front of the park. I’d have given 5 stars had the roller coasters not been so rough.

Absolutely terrible. More than half of the rides were closed and 2 of the rides that were open kept breaking down and closing. Paid full price and for their version of “fast pass” and actually was able to ride a total of 3 rides. I see why it’s closing. Employees are also obviously aware it’s closing and dont even try to offer a good experience

The absolute WORST experience at an amusement that we’ve ever had. First.. none of the rides in Gotham city work open the day we visited. On 3 coasters in the whole park were working and 2 of them broke down while we were in line.. 2 hrs down the drain! With all the rides being shut down it made the water park extremely crowded. They would make everyone get out of the wave pool what seemed like every 45 mins for the lifeguards to cool off. I get them needing to cool off but I seems like they would rotate the guards instead of making everyone get out!! After a couple hours of this we just decided to leave. Amusement parks are always a big part of our family vacations and this one was a total letdown. We will never visit this park again!

I have had good times and not-so-good times at this park. It is a nice park overall, with some good rides. Wild One, a relocated wooden coaster, is one of the oldest operating coasters in the world. When park chain giants Cedar Fair and Six Flags merged last summer, I was one of many who had concerns about that deal. Cedar Fair has 51% control of the newly formed company, and they have been making some bad decisions across the board like removing rides from most all their parks over the winter but not telling people until the season was about to start this year. Part of the way into the season this year, the CEO of the new company announced this park would permanently close at the end of this season. A couple weeks ago, the announcement was made that the usual Halloween event which they promised to keep for the final season was being reduced. Thanks, Mr. Zimmerman, the former CEO of Cedar Fair AND now the merged companies. Though I had an okay time at the park, the atmosphere is different. Rides are broken down or closed. Workers at the park are not as friendly as they don't have to be since their jobs are gone at the end of the fall, if they even keep it open till then. I can only hope the rides will be relocated to other parks, especially Wild One, since it's a historic coaster. For those wanting to make one last visit to the park, you should do it quickly. Take some photos for posterity's sake.
