Wild Waves Theme Park

GREAT!. We got tickets on sale on their website so we saved about $10 each ticket. But parking does cost $10..so there goes that. The locker rental line was long, and we decided not to get a locker after seeing they cost $14!!!! Instead we put all things inside a waterbottle..which came down the rides with us and kept things dry!!! GREAT IDEA!!

We did the theme park rides first..big mistake because when we were done the water ride lines were huge. Tube rentals are expensive..but I'd rather rent one than stand in line for extensive hours.

The rides are great! And although the food is expensive it's pretty tasty! (bottle of water= $3.25 + tax. Pizza = $7.00 +tax for pepperoni. Soda is expensive..and snacks are as well). Next time I will bring a feast and leave it in the ice chest in my car..since there is re-entry!! And absolutely bring my own water.

I love this park and am going back before summers over. Theme parks cost a lot of money..but if you get a cheap ticket online, bring food and water and don't rent a locker you will save about $50! Hope this helped.

PS. No maps of the park were handed out..it would have been nice to have one.

AND if you rent a locker or tube you better get inside at opening because lines start forming very quickly and take too much time later on.…

Green water slides. The green water slides are as old as the park, 1985 I think. I don't know about water slides and what they do to maintain them however on my last visit and visits before that I would get stuck on one of the slides. I was a season pass holder for a few years and noticed it then. I don't remember if it was the Rampage or Bonsai. When that happens I need to sit up push myself along until I get going again. I think that the green slides should be fixed or replaced.…

Fun if you're smart. I was a lifeguard there for two summers. Granted i don't like hearing we don't care especially when our lifeguard team just finished 3rd in the northwest regional competition. You just get desensitized after a while when nitwit after nitwit asks where tubs and entrances are when there are signs foe everything!!! most annoying thing in the world. We have one of the most qualified lifeguard squads in the area and also have one of the hardest jobs out there considering how little we're paid.

Ok but hears how to have a good time from someone who knows the ins and outs of this place.

- Get there early. Like 15 minutes before the parks opens especially on those scorchers. We have 10,000 or so people on those days.

- In my opinion don't come on the scorchers...just a bad situation. Come on the overcast and rainy days! you're gonna get wet anyways and you easily get your money's worth.

- Ride the water rides in the morning! Save the wave pool for last, there's no line for that. Go zooma falls first, then kong slides and then speed slides. You'll get more riding time that way.

- Wear aqua socks, the ground hurts your feet and there is often unclean areas.

- Don't buy a locker! they're are plenty of spots to put your stuff...its just a trust thing, but rarely do people ever steal there actually.

- Don't pay for parking. Just park at one of the local stores and walk, its not a big deal.

Despite all these things, the price for entrance doesn't match at what it delivers. You may get a total of 10 rides in. So about $3.50 a piece...not worth it in my eyes.…
