“What an expensive joke”

We make the drive or flight to California to attend the theme parks there for a MUCH better value. Lagoon is such a joke. I understand that at one time it may have been the *big* thing---when it was first built, but the prices do NOT match the quality or attractions featured.

“Nice get away”

We went to Lagoon on a Friday during July. The lines were really short and the park was fairlly empty. The grounds were very clean. The only problem would be that even though the waterpark enterance is free, you have to pay for lockers and use of tube rentals. It was extremely hot when we went. We wouldn't have lasted as long as we did if it wasn't for the community water fountain everyone was running through. Great trip.

“Poorly run, poor design”

We stayed at the campground and went to Lagoon on two consecutive days last week. The first day was cold and the kids rode all the rides they wanted to with very little waiting. The next day was a beautiful Friday and the place was packed. My older kids had a plan to get there early and ride the new roller coaster as many times before the line became long. They waited in line 30 minutes before they were informed the ride would not open for two hours and disappointed they got out of line. The lines even for the little kids were over an hour! This could be relieved by having two ride attendants at each ride-- one securing the kids on and off and the other running the ride, but it seems Lagoon doesn't care that you wait forever to ride. The roller coasters were out of the question that whole day, as the lines ran half way around the small amusement park. We went to the "Lagoon-a-beach" which was another huge disappointment. The water was literally freezing COLD and the little kid area is of such a horrible design where you cannot watch your kids from one place. The kids can go through this cavelike tunnel and you must run around it to the other side to watch them there and then there's a third area that they can escape to. You need three adults there to watch your children unless you yourself are crazy enough to get in that cold water. There is not even a pool there, just a lazy river and some slides. They even charge you more for tubes. And the showers are likewise poorly designed as they are on the opposite end from the dressing area, pass the toilets. And, the campground is the most cramped campground I have ever seen; you literally are like 3-4 feet from your neighbor, the sewer was on the wrong side and several of the spots had no place for your tow vehicle that you had to park half in the road. Save your money.

“Very Bad Experience”

Admittedly, I wasn't actually able to go on the rides or see the attactions. While waiting in line, we learned there was a power failure, but we were assured by the ticket girl that the only area affected was the ticket booth. Once we got in the park, we learned that the park was affected and no one knew when power would be restored. The lines at the ticket booth were about 50 people deep, so we left. I wrote to Lagoon about what happened and they will not refund my money.
