    Good energy from the start. The slides, lazy river, and wave pool bring that perfect mix of thrill and chill. Great spot for families or anybody just trying to escape the heat and laugh a little. Staff stayed cool under pressure even when it got crowded, which says a lot. The only reason it’s not a full 5 is the food prices and limited shaded areas but overall, it’s a fun, memory-filled spot that delivers every summer vibe you’re looking for. Louie K’s Up stamp: Life’s the same way ups, downs, waves, and laughter. You just gotta keep flowing. 🌊🔥💪🏾

    Abit disappointed. A lot of the stuff was closed due to no help. It was The end of the season but should still be all or nothing at that time. Pay for the tickets and only get 1/2 the atmosphere. Felt a bit cheated.

    I love the rapid’s and the family ride at shipwreck, but wait look at this I just drew this and I think it would be an awesome addition to shipwreck. Shipwreck could name it anything they want. I just want this banger ride.. soon. Ps you can pick any float and there are lights on the top part of the slide, last thing if y’all didn’t see there is also a small pool at the end but shipwreck doesn’t have to add that.

    We've had tickets for over a month to come with family including kids of all ages and grandparents. We reserved an upgraded cabana for us a bigger space with a fan. Get to the gate this morning to find 4-5 of the rides closed due to yearly maintenance! The closed rides included the lazy river! All the grandparents were looking forward to the lazy river. 😥 Oh and the upgraded cabanas are located by the lazy river and they are closed too!!!!! Who does maintenance during season!?!? Oh yeah, the new owners!! They also charge $15 to park now, first time ever, and the whole park is cashless. You have to purchase an armband and add money to it to purchase anything!!! Do better new owners! 😡 Definitely thinking about a different water park for our yearly family gathering!!!
