Originally Posted By utahjosh Lagoon is a pretty nice park, but it's nowhere near Disney quality. Nor does it have amazing coasters.

A water park inside the park.

Terroride was interesting like the old carnival rides and didn't see DC must have missed it. The wooden rollercoaster was rough...real rough. I know some purist like that but give me a smooth steel ride any day. A real nice aspect of the park was how friendly all the ride operators were. Kind of like what used to work at DL. I am not trying to spark a debate over CMs rudeness but lately they haven't been as nice as in years past. The ride layout reminded me of every Roller Coatser Tycoon park I ever made. The entrance and exit gates seemed a little too random. Sometimes you had to walk all the way around to the back side of a ride to find the entrance. Then if you were waiting for people to get off the ride the exit was often completely around on the other side. Over all I would recommend the park if your in the area. I wouldn't make a special trip for it. We went on a Sunday and the park was almost empty for a better part of the day. It did get busy in the evening.
