  Since the new owners have taken over shipwreck, they had destroyed and make a shipwreck go downhill. It is ridiculous. They don’t care if your children have autism and they have to have specialized foods. My son has autism and he arfid Which is a fear with foods and he has just a few safe foods that he will eat. It is ridiculous on how they have everything shipwreck used to be fun to go to it used to be clean. The water used to be clean and used to be nice experience to go, but since these stupid new owners have taken over, they have ruined the experience for everything. The way pool is not even away pool anymore barely any waves everything is always closed because there’s workers that are not there to open it. This is. ridiculous we will not be going to shipwreck anymore and I will not recommend a shit shipwreck to anybody else if you’re gonna go somewhere and have a good time just go to the beach or go to the splash pad or something. Do not go here and waste your money. They also charge you now $30 to park which is stupid and then they up their prices of their tickets for what for disrespect employees and disrespectful workers that are there and water is not even clean. Just go spend your money Elsewhere I know other parks that are way better than shipwreck and they understand children with disabilities adults with disabilities. They understand completely and they work with you shipwreck doesn’t care all they care about is their stupid money. That’s all they care about this place is worthless now.

  Feel like your going thru into a prison. Make you empty your re usable water bottles even though a sign says you can bring them and also made a mom empty her ice that was keeping her breast milk cold. Feel like the place has definitely changed since changing over owners. Glad they’re trying to keep everyone safe but it seemed excessive. They also took away the smoking areas inside and you now have to walk back out then re enter through the lines and metal detectors. Also wear water shoes there’s no sprinklers on the hot concrete and burned my feet.

  This makes me sad to write but we’ve given this place enough chances (and $$). Year before last, my middle son was just at 40 inches which was tall enough for most of the smaller slides depending on the lifeguard. Some let him on, some said he wasn’t quite tall enough. That in itself is incredibly frustrating for the price of his ticket that we paid. He was also sometimes allowed on the larger family tube ride. Last year, we get there and the height requirements are suddenly 42 inches and EVERY SINGLE SLIDE that didn’t have a height requirement was closed. No explanation just closed. So he didn’t get to ride ANYTHING the whole day. This year, he is finally 43 inches. The second slide we go to, the guy measures him and says he isn’t tall enough. I had to go all the way back to the bottom and ask someone to verify that the height limit was 42 inches and then call the lifeguard at the top and tell him. He was nice and apologized but said he thought it was 48 inches. I’m sorry but that’s completely unprofessional to not even know the requirements for the ride you’re in charge of and now I have a crying child. Then they closed for weather temporarily with beautiful, clear, sunny skies. Reopened right as bad clouds and thunder rolled in and we rode several slides with rumbling thunder overhead. Finally at 1:45 they announced they were closing the park for inclement weather. 3 mins later they changed the announcement to “closed temporarily”. Consumers aren’t stupid and everyone knows this was so they didn’t have to pass out rain checks. In all, it’s just too unpredictable. You literally never know what their new policy or interpretation of current policy is going to be and it’s just not worth the money. There’s a tangible “us against them” vibe all day and that’s not where I want my money spent. Good luck to anyone who gives them another chance.

  We purchased 5, day passes, 2 vip parkings and a premium cabana. After only being there an hour, they shut everything down due to clouds (which okay I totally get safety), after everything being closed down for over an hour we approached the Assistant Store Manager, Anthony, before I could even finish my sentence I was rudely cut off by him telling me there was absolutely no refund on cabanas with his arms crossed and smile on his face, then he in the most condescending way tells me “we get lightening in Florida” obviously, we get it in Ohio as well. As a business owner myself, I respect upholding policies but he would be fired for having the attitude he had. $500 trio down the drain. NEVER AGAIN WOULD I SPEND MONEY IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT. What a total disappointment for all of us and my 10 year old. Everything is extremely overpriced and the service is terrible.

  The whole experience at Shipwreck Island feels as if they’re more afraid of a lawsuit than they are providing a fantastic overall experience. I understand security and bag checks. That’s totally fine. But to not allow patrons to bring in cold water on the hottest days of the year isn’t a practical policy. Even Disney reversed this horrible policy. Then, to make matters worse, staff will reject your entry when trying to bring in your own floatation devices. My daughter is a toddler and cannot swim on her own yet, so we prepared as any parents do and brought her arm floats. Without explaining the policy, the staff member at the gate said they cannot allow us inside if we have arm floats. What is a toddler supposed to do in a water park if they can’t swim? It took having to wait and bring a manager over to explain “their insurance doesn’t cover” floatation devices that we had (standard floaties you find at every store and that every young child uses). They absolutely would not allow me inside. So I threw them away right in front of the manager just to be allowed inside with my family. Once you’re inside, and after you pay, is when you realize what rides are open and what rides are closed down. That puts pressure on the wait times of the open rides. Then, the wait in between riders on each ride is so excruciatingly long that it’s clear they want riders completely off the ride and almost out of the park entirely before they’ll allow the next rider to go. This is why I stated they’re clearly afraid of lawsuits, as they should be, but it’s to an absolutely ridiculous level now. Furthermore, the wave pool is now a ripple pool. They’ve turned down the intensity so much that there are practically no waves. Shipwreck Island feels like an entirely different experience than it did several years ago. The fun was tainted before it ever really got started with the fiasco at bag check at the gate. I don’t know what’s going on but Shipwreck owners and management need to get it together.
