点评:Review for Raging Rivers Waterpark – Alton, IL (08/16/2025)
The park opened at 10 AM and the staff we encountered were kind and courteous. However, before noon, the park had run out of ice for drinks (perhaps even earlier as that’s when I was seeking an ice refreshment). Even renting a cabana for $200/day was completely a wash, as the most basic services become compromised by the parks poor operational oversight.
Food service was another challenge. Of the food locations in the park, only one was open, and it stopped serving food around 2 PM. This created long wait times and a lot of frustration once these announcements became public to the parks visitors. The staff working were doing their best, but they seemed overworked and constantly shuffled from one busy station to the next as the day of chaos consumed them on a blistering hot day.
Since the park is closed Monday through Friday during this time of the year, I expected everything to be fully operational for the weekend crowd. On a Saturday, with ticket prices over $30 per person (plus the cabana rental), basic amenities such as cold water and adequate food service should be reliable—especially on a day with a 104° heat index.
I understand that staffing can be difficult late in the season as students return to school, but if the park is unable to provide essential services, it may be better to shorten the season rather than compromise the guest experience.
Overall, while the staff themselves were kind, the lack of planning and oversight led to a disappointing visit. Will not be returning.
翻译:狂暴河流水上乐园 (Raging Rivers Waterpark) 点评 – 伊利诺伊州奥尔顿 (2025年8月16日)
乐园上午10点开放,我们遇到的工作人员都很友好热情。然而,不到中午,乐园里的饮料冰块就用完了(或许更早,因为我当时想喝点冰镇饮料)。即使租一个200美元一天的凉亭也完全白费,因为乐园糟糕的运营监管,连最基本的服务都打了折扣。
餐饮服务是另一个挑战。乐园里的餐饮点只有一家营业,而且大约下午2点就停止供应食物了。这导致游客排队时间过长,而且这些公告公布后,游客们非常沮丧。工作人员们尽了最大努力,但他们似乎过度劳累,在炎热的天气里,一天的混乱让他们忙得不可开交。
由于乐园每年这个时候周一到周五都关闭,我预计周末游客会一切正常。周六票价超过每人30美元(另加小屋租金),冷水和充足的餐饮等基本设施应该足够可靠——尤其是在气温高达104华氏度(约40摄氏度)的天气。
我理解,随着学生返校,公园在季末阶段人员配备可能会比较困难,但如果公园无法提供必要的服务,与其损害游客体验,不如缩短季末。
总的来说,虽然工作人员本身很友善,但缺乏规划和监督,导致这次体验令人失望。以后不会再来了。
