  Oct. 2026. Very few places to sit down. There's a bench next to the non-working bumper cars, and that's it. Half the rides are closed for maintenance or not working, log ride, pirate ship, cyclone, tall swings, they don't tell you that when you pay full price to get in. Bumper car guy is watching non-moving cars sit there not moving for an entire session. He's probably supposed to go help like it every other amusement park in the country. There's only about 10 rides, if 5 are closed down they should be charging people half price to get in, or put up a big sign that says half the rides are closed, and do not enter if you don't want to walk and stand the whole time there will be nowhere for you to sit.

  Got there. 3 hours before they closed. They have 15 rides. 6 were down. Cost $100 + for my familynto do NOTHING. My kids stood in line for over an hour and that ride got shut because the electric exit gate wouldn't open. We didn't even bother with the tickets for one other ride that we bought for that was still open to ride. It was a let down. My baby cakes, thats what she wanted to enjoy that for her birthday.. Could you imagine.

  The granddaughter that is 6 loved it, but it is very pricey for the limited things to do there. We paid almost 170$ for 5 adults and 1 child. 3 of the adult rides were down at the time. They eventually tell us the swings we saw working earlier that day were down due to high winds since it goes up pretty high. But I didn’t feel like the winds were that extreme (I don’t work there so I can’t say for sure, just my thoughts) I just felt like $170 for the little bit of time and few rides we could ride was outrageous.

  I traveled all the way to Texas and was really looking forward to visiting the pier, especially since it’s only open on weekends. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I went on a Friday excited to enjoy the rides, only to find out that one of the rides I specifically wanted to go on was closed. On top of that, the prices are ridiculous. You have to pay just to enter the pier, and then pay $9 per ride ticket on top of that? Seriously? For the price you pay just to get in, I feel like visitors should have access to the rides instead of having to keep paying extra for every single one. The pier itself is pretty small, and for the amount of money you spend, it just wasn’t worth it. I expected a lot more, especially after traveling all this way to visit. Overall, it wasn’t nearly as fun as I hoped, and I left feeling disappointed. I wouldn’t say it was worth the money, and I probably wouldn’t go back.

  Me gustó mucho , fuimos un sábado en la noche y estaba bastante concurrido , pero nada q fuese desgastante. Habían muchas atracciones . Lo recomiendo mucho para adolescentes y adultos , para niños pequeños de 2 años o menos no hay muchas atracciones, pero se pasa bastante bien, hay variedad de juegos y para comer y comprar souvenirs. Recomiendo comprar el pase para todas las atracciones e ir temprano para q puedan disfrutar de todas las atracciones xq a veces las filas demoran . En general me gustó mucho. Mucha diversión.
