"disappointed"

Wouldn’t let me in with the pocket knife I forgot was in my pocket, so they put it in a lock box where I’m not allowed to get it back at all. Half of the park smelt of bad weed, we saw a few people smoking cigarettes. A lot of kids were unsupervised running around and cutting lines. The chips and queso I got was eleven dollars while the hand sized burrito was twenty, very luck they were good. While eating, we saw an opossum, probably the best part of the night. For being Fright Fest I expected so much better, very disappointed

"Rough Coasters with $5 Water to Recuperate"
TripAdvisor user rating 3 out of 5
Reviewed September 21, 2025
This park is quite small and I unfortunately understand why it is closing. Not much money has been put into this park and their coasters haven’t had much love either. The staff were funny and made the rides enjoyable. There definitely is a lanternfly infestation. Bottled water for $5 is just plain greedy to me for any company to be charging. A lot of the coasters are VERY rough. Firebird, Roar, and SkyWinder were the roughest to me. Superman and Joker’s Jinx were actually quite good. Although I know it to be very unlikely, I hope they find new homes. I also hope Wild One is rescued as it is an ACE Landmark.

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

"Nice Park, Great Staff but…"
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5

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
